Heegaard Floer Homology Reading Seminar
This is a reading group I am organizing in at the University of Trieste. The aim is studying the fundamentals of Heegaard Floer Homology theory, as well as its applications to low-dimensional Topology.
There will be the streaming via MS Teams as well (people interested to the link please contact me) but we encourage participation in presence if possible.
Schedule:
Heegaard splittings and (pointed) Heegaard diagrams, with some hints at handlebody decompositions of manifolds. Spin^c structures on 3-manifolds as equivalence classes of never-vanishing vector fields.
Speaker: Sebastian Matias Camponovo
Venue: Thursday, March 13th at 14:00, Aula 1_A Conferenze - Edificio D (Economia), 1st floor, UniTS
Representing knots in 3-manifolds via (doubly pointed) Heegaard diagrams, Spin^c structures on 4-manifolds as equivalence classes of almost complex structures.
