Knots, surfaces, and 3-manifolds
Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar| Speaker: | Robin Wilson, UC Davis |
| Location: | 2112 MSB |
| Start time: | Thu, Feb 9 2006, 1:10PM |
In this talk I will give a brief introduction to the closely related subjects of knot theory and 3-manifold topology. I will also discuss recent results about the existence of closed incompressible surfaces in knot complements.
