Abstract

Using factorization homology, I'll outline a conceptual construction of link invariants, generalizing the Jones and Reshetkhin-Turaev polynomial invariants, using factorization homology.  I'll explain how to supply a conceptual proof of the 1-dimensional tangle hypothesis, using essentially the same construction.  This is joint work with John Francis.
