Speaker: Matthew Hedden (Michigan State University) Title: Knot theory and complex curves Abstract: The modern study of knots and links has important roots in the theory of algebraic curves, where links encode subtle features of singularities. The interaction between links in 3-dimensional manifolds and algebraic curves in complex surfaces continues to be a rich source…Continue Reading 11-21-2024: Matthew Hedden, “Knot theory and complex curves”
