Also, if anyone is heading out Friday mid-day let me know. Will Worden is coming to visit that week and might hitch an early ride to redbud.
There is also funding for graduate students to speak at a topology conference in Eastern Illinois.

Third, David Wright is speaking about packings of hyperbolic space in number theory seminar.
Forth, our speaker for next week is not coming due to corona virus. Pengcheng expresses his apologies.
Finally, today I am speaking in seminar. My title and abstract are below:
Cusp types covered by hyperbolic knot complements
Speaker: Neil Hoffman, Oklahoma State
Date: Jan 28, 2020
Time: 3:30 PM
Room: MSCS 509
Abstract: Let Q be an orbifold quotient of a hyperbolic knot complement. This talk will give a complete classification of the types of cusps Q can admit. In particular, we will show that Q does not have a S 2 (2, 4, 4) cusp. We will also discuss the non-orientable case and the connection between this problem and the question of which knots admit hidden symmetries.
Best,
Neil
