Bing's Theorem
Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar| Speaker: | Kei Nakamura, UC Davis |
| Location: | 2112 MSB |
| Start time: | Thu, Nov 16 2006, 11:00AM |
My talk will be on Bing's Theorem which gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a closed orientable 3-manifold to be a 3-sphere. I will discuss three ways to prove this theorem. If time permits, I will talk about some generalizations.
