Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar| Speaker: | Mike Williams, UC Davis |
| Location: | 593 Kerr |
| Start time: | Thu, Jan 27 2005, 1:10PM |
I will give an introduction to the notion of Dehn Surgery on a link in the 3-sphere. After giving basic definitions and examples, the focus will be on knots. In particular, I will discuss some of what is known about obtaining a lens space or a reducible manifold by Dehn surgery on a knot in the 3-sphere.
