Research Horizons Seminar
Time

Speaker
Jennifer Hom – Georgia Tech
Organizer
Trevor Gunn
In this talk, we will discuss various ways to describe three-manifolds by decomposing them into pieces that are (maybe) easier to understand. We will use these descriptions as a way to measure the complexity of a three-manifold.
