Constructing Fibered Knots and Links

Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar

Speaker: Patrick Weed, UC Davis
Location: 2112 MSB
Start time: Thu, Feb 23 2017, 10:00AM

A link L in S^3 is fibered if S^3 - L is the total space of a fiber bundle over S^1. In this talk, we will discuss how to determine geometrically whether a link is fibered, and we will describe a couple of ways to construct fibered knots and links.
