College of Liberal Arts & Sciences
Geometry and Topology Seminar
Speaker:
Agniva Roy, Georgia Tech
Topic:
Symplectic handlebodies, non-loose knots, and embedding problems
Abstract:
We will discuss a construction of closed symplectic handlebodies using ideas laid out by Gay in 2000. This allows us to explicitly understand embeddings of symplectic rational balls in CP^2 that were earlier understood only through almost toric fibrations. This is joint work with John Etnyre, Hyunki Min, and Lisa Piccirillo.
