Circular Heegaard splittings for sutured manifolds

Geometry/Topology

Speaker: Fabiola Manjarrez Gutierrez, UNAM
Location: 2112 MSB
Start time: Tue, Jan 20 2026, 2:10PM

Description

In this talk we will generalize the classic notion of Heegaard splittings for compact 3-manifolds to the analogous notion for sutured 3-manifolds. We will discuss some invariants that arise from this notion as well as a special application to knots exteriors.
