Geometric topology | Conjectures that have been proved | 4-manifolds | Knot theory
In knot theory, the Milnor conjecture says that the slice genus of the torus knot is It is in a similar vein to the Thom conjecture. It was first proved by gauge theoretic methods by Peter Kronheimer and Tomasz Mrowka. Jacob Rasmussen later gave a purely combinatorial proof using Khovanov homology, by means of the . (Wikipedia).
Geometric Algebra - Rotors and Quaternions
In this video, we will take note of the even subalgebra of G(3), see that it is isomorphic to the quaternions and, in particular, the set of rotors, themselves in the even subalgebra, correspond to the set of unit quaternions. This brings the entire subject of quaternions under the heading

Robbins' formulas, the Bellows conjecture + polyhedra volumes|Rational Geometry Math Foundations 128
We discuss modern developments in the direction of our latest videos, namely formulas for areas of polygons in terms of the quadrances of the sides. We discuss work of Moebius, Bowman and Robbins on the areas of cyclic pentagons. There is also a rich story about 3 dimensional generalizati

AlgTop12: Duality for polygons and the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
We define the dual of a polygon in the plane with respect to a fixed origin and unit circle. This duality is related to the notion of the dual of a cone. Then we give a purely rational formulation of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, and a proof which keeps track of the winding numbe

Algebraic topology: Introduction
This lecture is part of an online course on algebraic topology. This is an introductory lecture, where we give a quick overview of some of the invariants of algebraic topology (homotopy groups, homology groups, K theory, and cobordism). The book "algebraic topology" by Allen Hatcher men

Abstract: In his address at the 1958 International Congress of Mathematicians Milnor described his joint work with Kervaire, relating Bernoulli numbers, homotopy groups, and the theory of manifolds. These ideas soon led them to one of the most remarkable formulas in mathematics, relating f

Geometric Algebra - Duality and the Cross Product
In this video, we will introduce the concept of duality, involving a multiplication by the pseudoscalar. We will observe the geometric meaning of duality and also see that the cross product and wedge product are dual to one another, which means that the cross product is already contained w
