Title Seifert surfaces of alternating knots in 4D
Speaker, Affiliation Maggie Miller, The University of Texas at Austin
Date, Time 17 October 2024, 16:15-17:15
Location online
Abstract We show that any two same-genus, oriented, boundary parallel surfaces bounded by a non-split alternating link into the 4-ball are smoothly isotopic fixing boundary. In other words, a non-split alternating link bounds a unique Seifert surface up to isotopy in the 4-ball (and up to genus). This is joint with Seungwon Kim and Jaehoon Yoo.

Title Torsion in the Kauffman bracket skein module
Speaker, Affiliation Giulio Belletti, Institut de Mathématiques de Bourgogne
Date, Time 21 November 2024, 16:15-17:15
Location online
Abstract The skein module of a 3-manifold is a rich algebraic object whose elements are knots and links; it has many fascinating connections to representation theory, mathematical physics and the Jones polynomial. In this talk I will give a brief introduction to the topic, including discussing the sort of interesting problems that come up with these objects, and then I will focus on a recent joint work with R. Detcherry about the relationship between torsion in the skein module and interesting surfaces in the manifold.

Title Bounding the Dehn surgery number by 10/8
Speaker, Affiliation Beibei Liu, Ohio State University
Date, Time 12 December 2024, 16:15-17:15
Location online
Abstract Every closed, oriented 3-manifold is obtained by a Dehn surgery on a link in the three-sphere. It is natural to ask about the minimal number of components of a link that admits a Dehn surgery to a given 3-manifold. In this talk, we use Furuta's 10/8-theorem to provide new examples of 3-manifolds with the same integral homology as the lens space L(2k, 1), while not surgery on any knot in the three-sphere.
