Facts and Dreams About v-Knots and Etingof-Kazhdan

Swiss Knots 2011, Lake Thun, May 2011

Abstract. I will describe, to the best of my understanding, the relationship between virtual knots and the Etingof-Kazhdan quantization of Lie bialgebras, and explain why, in my humble opinion, both topologists and algebraists should care. I am not happy yet about the state of my understanding of the subject but I haven't lost hope of achieving happiness, one day.
