Abstracts for Lectures on "Topics in 4-manifolds"

Alternatively have a look at the program.

Topic 1a, Knots, Links and the group of 2-spheres in 4-space

Posted in
Speaker: 
Rob Schneiderman and Peter Teichner
Date: 
Mon, 10/10/2022 - 12:15 - 13:30
Location: 
MPIM Lecture Hall

Contact: Rob Schneiderman, Peter Teichner

We will begin with basics on knots, links and 4-manifolds and then focus on Whitney towers (Rob)
and Z-surfaces (Pete) in the 4-ball.
In the second half of the semester, we’ll move on to more general ambient 4-manifolds.
