Title:Building censuses of links in lens spaces 

Speaker: Eric Towers, Oklahoma State 

Date: Feb 25, 2020 

Time: 3:30 PM 

Room: MSCS 509 

Abstract: The theory and automation of the exhaustive study of links (including knots) in ^3 is understood. Extending these methods to completely enumerate links in specified ambient spaces other than S^3 is less well understood. For any fixed lens space L(p, q), we describe a method for producing all links with a prescribed complexity in the ambient L(p, q). We demonstrate progress in software to automate the enumeration and feature extraction of lens space link complements and their fillings.
