We will give a detailed description of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$) as a ribbon Hopf algebra and discuss how a choice of ribbon element may affect the construction of the Jones polynomial by a sign.Seminar URL: http://yutsumura.com/quantum-algebra-topology-seminar/ Cockins Hall 240 Department of Mathematics math@osu.edu America/New_York public
