Hello everyone,
We have seminar today. Amey Kaloti will be speaking on "Embedding questions for Weinstein and contact manifolds"
His title and abstract are below. Also, we will be taking Amey out for dinner tonight at hideaway. Meet at my office around 5:15 if you are interested in that.
Embedding questions for Weinstein and contact manifolds.
Speaker: Amey Kaloti, University of Arkansas
Date: Oct 23, 2018
Time: 2:30 PM
Room: MSCS 405
Abstract: We describe a framework for embedding Weinstein 4-manifolds into Weinstein 6-manifolds using Lefschetz fibrations. The process also reframes the ”spun embeddings” of Etnyre
and Lekili used to describe embeddings of contact 3-manifolds into contact 5-manifolds. We’ll discuss obstructions as well as examples including Weinstein 6-manifolds which contain
all Weinstein 4-manifolds as properly embedded Weinstein submanifolds. Joint work with Jeremy Van Horn-Morris.
