An introduction to trisections of 4 manifolds

Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar

Speaker: Dale Koenig
Location: 2112 MSB
Start time: Thu, Apr 20 2017, 11:00AM

I will provide an introduction to the theory of trisections of 4-manifolds developed by Gay and Kirby. I will introduce diagrams for these trisections, and show how to get diagrams of some simple 4-manifolds.
