Geometric Topology of Knots

The Kakimizu Complex of a Link

speaker: Jessica E. Banks (University of Oxford)

abstract: We give an introduction to the Kakimizu complex of a link, covering a number of recent results. In particular we will see that the Kakimizu complex of a knot may be locally infinite, that the Alexander polynomial of an alternating link carries information about its Seifert surfaces, and that the Kakimizu complex of a special alternating link is understood.
