CMSA Special Quantum Matter/Quantum Math Seminar: Cutting and pasting 4-manifolds
When: March 3, 2020
10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Where: CMSA, 20 Garden St, G10
Address:
20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, United States
Speaker: Robert Gompf - UT Austin
We will discuss techniques topologists use for understanding 4-manifolds obtained by cut-and-paste constructions. The hope is that these techniques may be useful for understanding 4-dimensional topological field theories.
