Lenhard Ng : Knots and low dimensional topology (Oct 27, 2006 4:25 PM)
Knots, while combinatorial in flavor, play a key role in the topology of manifolds in three and four dimensions. I'll discuss this role and describe some classical problems about knots that were surprisingly solved only recently through high-powered techniques. Gauge theory, symplectic geometry, and the Poincare conjecture may make cameo appearances.
