Sutured manifolds and fibered links

Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar

Speaker: Fabiola Manjarrez-Gutierrez, UCD
Location: 2112 MSB
Start time: Thu, Apr 5 2007, 11:00AM

In the paper "Detecting fibered links in S^3" D.Gabai gave a useful method to detect fibered links , the tool he uses is sutured manifolds. In this talk I will introduce the concept of sutured manifolds, give examples, explain how a link is related to a sutured manifold and finally I will give a proof of Gabai's theorem.
