Geometric Knot Theory - Smooth Curves Living in 2- and 3-dimensions
Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar| Speaker: | Emi Arima, UC Davis |
| Location: | 2112 MSB |
| Start time: | Tue, Jan 19 2010, 12:10PM |
This talk will give a brief introduction to the ideas and problems in geometric knot theory. Then, time permitting, we will discuss Fabricius-Bjerre's work with smooth curves in the plane and the possible ways of generalizing his results to knots in 3-space.
