Hello everyone, Tomorrow I am speaking in seminar. I am actually speaking about a question Robert asked about in seminar back when we are in person. My title and abstract are below: Title: Recovering knot diagrams from triangulations Speaker: Neil Hoffman, Oklahoma State University Date: Apr 21, 2021 Time: 3:30 PM Room: https://meet.google.com/frv-bgow-byi Abstract: While the study of knots originally was related to manipulating knot diagrams, one often studies knots by analyzing their complements. In fact, Gordon and Luecke showed two knots are equivalent if and only if their complements are homeomorphic. There are wellknown procedures for constructing a knot complement from a knot diagram. We will analyze the problem from the other perspective: constructing a knot diagram from a triangulated knot complement and describe an algorithm to produce such a diagram. This is joint work Robert Haraway, Saul Schleimer and Eric Sedgwick. ______________________ Neil R.
