I will not be back by Thursday; however, I just wrote to Danielle/Henry about organizing something. As I mentioned to them, it would be nice (for me) if we could get things lined up pretty far out so I can then avoid conflicts with my calendar. You do not need to wait for me to get back to organize; however, I would like a couple of consecutive times in Nov or Dec to talk about some of my recent work.

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
