The Kakimizu complex of a link
Geometry/Topology| Speaker: | Jessica Banks, University of Oxford |
| Location: | 2112 MSB |
| Start time: | Tue, Oct 25 2011, 3:10PM |
We give an introduction to the Kakimizu complex of a link, covering a number of recent results. In particular we will see that the Kakimizu complex of a knot may be locally infinite, that the Alexander polynomial of an alternating link carries information about its Seifert surfaces, and that the Kakimizu complex of a special alternating link is understood.
