Seminars and Colloquia by Series

Branched covers I

Series
Geometry Topology Working Seminar
Time
Friday, October 13, 2017 - 13:55 for 1.5 hours (actually 80 minutes)
Location
Skiles 006
Speaker
John Etnyre – Georgia Tech
In this series of talks I will introduce branched coverings of manifolds and sketch proofs of most the known results in low dimensions (such as every 3 manifold is a 3-fold branched cover over a knot in the 3-sphere and the existence of universal knots). Along the way several open problems will be discussed.

Introduction to Singularity Theory 1

Series
Geometry Topology Working Seminar
Time
Friday, September 15, 2017 - 13:55 for 1.5 hours (actually 80 minutes)
Location
Skiles 006
Speaker
Peter Lambert-Cole – Georgia Institute of Technology
In this series of talks, I will introduce basic concepts and results in singularity theory of smooth and holomorphic maps. In the first talk, I will present a gentle introduction to the elements of singularity theory and give a proof of the well-known Morse Lemma that illustrates key geometric and algebraic principles of singularity theory.

Lagrangian Floer Theory II

Series
Geometry Topology Working Seminar
Time
Friday, March 17, 2017 - 14:00 for 1.5 hours (actually 80 minutes)
Location
Skiles 006
Speaker
John Etnyre – Georgia Tech

Please Note: This will be a 1.5 hour (maybe slightly longer) seminar.

Following up on the previous series of talks we will show how to construct Lagrangian Floer homology and discuss it properties.
