An Introduction to the Kapustin-Witten Equations and Witten's Program

Siqi He, Department of Mathematics, California Institute of Technology,

In this talk, we will introduce a Witten's Program on the SL(2,C) Casson invariant, Jones polynomials and the Kapustin-Witten equations. Over manifold with boundary, Witten suggest to study a non elliptic boundary condition of Kapustin-Witten equations which will leads to study a non-linear uniformly degenerate elliptic PDE. We will discuss some unsolved math problems in this program.
