Title:  Chromatic homology theories

Abstract:

This talk is an entree to categorification through knot theory and graph theory. The focal point is the chromatic polynomial and is categorifications: chromatic graph homology over algebra defined by L. Helme-Guizon and Y. Rong, and the homology of a graph configuration space introduced by M. Eastwood, S. Huggett. Time permitting, we will discuss relations between these homology theories in the form of spectral sequences, as well as a new invariant of simplicial complexes inspired by the Eastwood and Huggett approach.
