DESCRIPTION:Dror Bar-Natan (UToronto)\nI will describe a general machine\,
  a close cousin of Taylor's theorem\, whose inputs are topics in topology 
 and whose outputs are problems in algebra. There are many inputs the machi
 ne can take\, and many outputs it produces\, but I will concentrate on jus
 t one input/output pair. When fed with a certain class of knotted 2-dimens
 ional objects in 4-dimensional space\, it outputs the Kashiwara-Vergne Pro
 blem (1978\, solved Alekseev-Meinrenken 2006\, elucidated Alekseev-Torossi
 an 2008-2011)\, a problem about convolutions on Lie groups and Lie algebra
