Trent Schirmer will speak on Thursday Sept 11: Title: A lower bound on tunnel number degeneration Abstract: The tunnel t(K) of a knot is given by the equation t(K)+1=g(X), where g(_) denotes Heegaard genus and X is the exterior of K. We prove that t(K#K')\geq \max{t(K),t(K')} for any pair of knots in S^3

Topology seminar today 3:30, MSCS 422
by Henry Segerman 04 Sep '14

David Bachman (Pitzer college) Title: Bounding the concentration of curvature for topologically minimal surfaces Abstract: Inspired by parallel results in the theory of smooth minimal surfaces, we give limits on how concentrated the curvature of a topologically minimal surface can be. The proofs rely on a similar argument originally given by Hatcher and Thurston, and later revisited by Jaco and Sedgwick, showing that certain sets of boundary slopes must be finite. This is joint work with Ryan Derby-Talbot and Eric Sedgwick.

Hi Everyone, Let's have the reading seminar start Thursday next week (September 11) instead of this week. I had forgotten that I have to fly back to California this Thursday for my friend's wedding. Best, Trent
