DESCRIPTION:The program is partly suspended\nThe school “New Methods in
  Enumerative Geometry” is cancelled\nThe conference “Low-Dimensional 
 Topology” is cancelled\nThe conference “On the Crossroad of Topology 
 and Enumerative Geometry” is cancelled\n\nThematic program "New Trends i
 n Topology"\n\nFebruary 1 – June 30\, 2022\n\nThere were several far-re
 aching conceptual developments in topology at the turn of the century. In 
 the late 1980’s – early 1990’s\, a spectacular progress in the theor
 y of knots and 3-dimensional manifolds was made by the Fields medalists E.
  Witten and V. Jones followed by the work of N. Reshetikhin\, V. Turaev\, 
 O. Viro and others who related this area of topology to the theory of quan
 tum groups. As a result\, a new mathematical field was born\, the topologi
 cal quantum field theory.\n\nIn parallel to the appearance of the topologi
 cal quantum field theory\, there emerged a theory of Gromov-Witten invaria
 nts\, under the influence of implantation of pseudo-holomorphic curve tech
 nique into symplectic geometry by M. Gromov and the holomorphic curve coun
 ting into quantum 2-dimensional gravity by E. Witten. This had led\, in pa
 rticular\, to the Kontsevich-Manin theory of quantum cohomology and a brea
 kthrough in enumerative geometry.\n\nThese new research areas are not only
  linked by the time of their appearance and the string theory as a common 
 root\, but also by deep relations between the techniques and underlying al
 gebraic structures. The very recent developments in Gromov-Witten theory b
 rought to light direct bridges between enumerative geometry of open string
 s and the theory of knot invariants. This program is devoted to a number 
 of the most active areas of these research fields.\n\n\nThe following acti
 vities will be organized during the program:\n\n\n	introductory school “
 Low-dimensional Topology”\, April 25 – 29\, 2022\n	[CANCELLED] introd
