Toronto 241030: The Strongest Genuinely Computable Knot Invariant in 2024

University of Toronto Colloquium, October 30 2024
Abstract. "Genuinely computable" means we have computed it for random knots with over 300 crossings. "Strongest" means it separates prime knots with up to 15 crossings better than the less-computable HOMFLY-PT and Khovanov homology taken together. And hey, it's also meaningful and fun.
Continues Rozansky, Garoufalidis, Kricker, and Ohtsuki, joint with van der Veen.
