Low Dimensional Topology
Month: August 2008
Date: August 11--15
Name: Low Dimensional Topology
Location: Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley, California.
Description
In recent years, there has been exciting progress in the following three branches of low-dimensional topology: Heegard Floer Homology, 4-Dimensional Manifolds, and Khovanov Homology. The format of this workshop will be three one-hour lectures every day, most likely one on each topic. The first day will consist of introductions to these areas; later talks will be given by experts in the areas who can explain the most recent developments. There will be time for discussions in the hope that participants will interact intensely.
Organizers
Elisenda Grigsby, Rob Schneiderman, Peter Teichner, and Kevin Walker.
