Torsion in knot concordance
Geometry/Topology| Speaker: | Swatee Naik, University of Nevada - Reno |

Description
The concordance group of classical knots has been studied extensively for last forty years. However, very little is known about the finite order elements in this group except for order 2 classes represented by negative amphicheiral knots. In this talk I will describe some of my joint work with Livingston (2000-02) which relates to torsion in this group and discuss possible future directions.
