SUMMARY:Knot theory and complex curves - Matthew Hedden (Michigan State Un
 iversity)
DTSTART:20250212T160000Z

CONTACT:Oscar Randal-Williams
DESCRIPTION:The modern study of knots and links has important roots in the
  theory of algebraic curves\, where links encode subtle features of singul
 arities. The interaction between links in 3-dimensional manifolds and alge
 braic curves in complex surfaces continues to be a rich source of interest
 ing mathematics. In this talk I will survey the subject\, from its seeds i
 n the work of Newton to advances which have occurred in the past decade.
