June 29 — July 5, 2022
Tomsk, Russia
International conference
Knot theory and applications
The purpose of the conference is to emphasize the relevance of the study of knots and to establish some general connections between the low-dimensional topology, statistical physics, and biology, which together constitute a new interdisciplinary branch of natural science that studies the methods of knot theory.

The main topics of the conference are tentatively split into the following subjects:

  • Modern problems of classical and virtual knots
  • Braid groups, fundamental groups, quandles, link homology and other algebraic structures in knot theory
  • Knots, manifolds, and orbifolds
  • Methods of knot theory in natural sciences

The conference will be held online as a fully virtual event. Zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/93407314006?pwd=dkdHeFlnZk1sbHRxNkdBZWNJaXdxUT09

Conference host
Tomsk State University was founded in 1878 by decree of Emperor Alexander II.
Many famous professors worked at TSU, among them Dmitry Mendeleev and two Nobel Prize laureates – Nikolay Semenov and Ivan Pavlov.
The Research Library of TSU, opened in 1888, has a large conference hall and museum of rare old books.
Today TSU is a National Research University. In 2018 the Regional Mathematical Center was opened at TSU.
