SUMMARY:Graph-complexes: from finite type knot invariants in R^3 to the ra
 tional homotopy type of embedding spaces. III - Victor Turchin\, Kansas

CONTACT:Oscar Randal-Williams
DESCRIPTION:I will start by explaining how graph-complexes (or rather grap
 h-spaces) appear in the study of Vassiliev invariants (also called finite 
 type invariants) of the usual knots and links in R^3. I will then talk abo
 ut Haefliger’s computations of isotopy classes of higher dimensional lin
 ks and then about the rational homotopy type of embedding spaces with targ
 et the Euclidean space. At some point I will also speak about the spaces o
 f long embeddings and how they are related to the deformation theory of th
 e little discs operads.
