The taut polynomial and the Alexander polynomial Anna Parlak, University of Warwick Host: Henry Segerman Contact Neil Hoffman or Henry Segerman for the seminar link.
Abstract: Landry, Minsky and Taylor recently introduced two polynomial invariants of veering triangulations – the taut polynomial and the veering polynomial. I will give the definition of the taut polynomial of a veering triangulation and explain its relationship with the Alexander polynomial of the underlying 3-manifold. I will also discuss how to interpret these results in the case when a veering triangulation carries a fibration over the circle.
