[Mdtop] Topology Seminar

Hi Everyone,

Since no one has sent out any e-mails about the topology seminar this semester I'm volunteering myself to organize it, although if anyone else wants to run it I'm totally fine with that! If it works for everyone we should have an organizational meeting this Thursday at 3:30 PM. If that doesn't work for someone please let me know.

Also I would like to have a reading seminar, so please come ready with ideas for that. Personally I'm interested in some recent work by Rob Kirby and David Gay (and related work by Alex Zupan and others) about trisections of 4-manifolds, as it relates the theory of Heegaard splittings to 4-manifold topology in an interesting new way.

Best,

Trent
