We will be going over a recent generalization of the affine index polynomial to the case of virtual links. We will give some background on the invariant, present the generalization, and discuss how different colorings of the link produce different invariants.
Thank you Nic for a great talk! If you would like to leave a question for Nic Petit, please reply to this comment below.
Hi Nic,
Have you investigated virtual concordance?
Hi Rob,
it’s on the list of things to look into. Based on the nice behavior of all the index polynomial invariants, I’d assume it would be likely true, but I haven’t had the chance to write down the argument yet.
