Universal formulae for Lie groups and Chern-Simons theory (ENGLISH)
[ 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.
