Abstract:
I will discuss some of the major problems and results pertaining to Dehn surgery, with a highlight on the application of combinatorial methods and Heegaard Floer homology. In particular, I will report on progress on two guiding conjectures, the cabling conjecture and the Berge conjecture.Date: Thursday, December 4, 2014
