Abstract: |
In 1990s Vogel introduced an interesting parametrization of simple Lie algebras by 3 parameters defined up to a common multiple and permutations. Numerical characteristic is called universal if it can be expressed in terms of Vogel's parameters (example - the dimension of Lie algebra). I will discuss some universal formulae for Lie groups and Chern-Simons theory on 3D sphere. The talk is based on joint work with R.L. Mkrtchyan and A.N. Sergeev. |
