Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar| Speaker: | Fabiola Manjarrez-Gutierrez, UC Davis |
| Location: | 2112 MSB |
| Start time: | Tue, Apr 29 2008, 1:10PM |
Hilden and Montesinos proved that a closed orientable 3-manifold is a 3-fold branched cover of $S^3$. Moreover the branch set $L$ in $S^3$ is a tricolorable link.
All the concepts mentioned above will be introduced and some examples as well.
