Two applications of elementary knot theory to Lie algebras and Vassiliev invariants.
A faithful linear-categorical action of the mapping class group of a surface with boundary
We show that the action of the mapping class group on bordered Floer homology in the second to extremal spin-structure is faithful. This paper is designed partly as an introduction to the subject, and much of it should be readable without a background in Floer homology.
