Knotted Holomorphic Discs in C^2
Thursday, August 6, 2009, 4:00pm
Ungar Room 402
Refreshments at 3:30pm in Ungar Room 521
All interested persons are welcome to attend.
Abstract: In this joint work with Sebastian Baader and Erlend Fornaess Wold we solve problem 1.102 (B/C) of Kirby's list on "Problems in low dimensional Topology": We construct proper embeddings of R^2 into R^4 whose image is a topologically knotted minimal surface. The proof is a combination of facts from knot theory (due to Rudolph Lee and Stephan Orevkov) and complex analysis (due to Josip Globevnik).
