Is the Conway knot slice? (After Lisa Piccirillo)

This is a talk on the recent work by Lisa Piccirillo showing that the Conway know is not a slice knot. We first review the definitions of the Conway know and slice knots, and then give an overview of her proof. The paper on this by Lisa Piccirillo can be found at https://arxiv.org/pdf/1

Charles Stine: The Complexity of Shake Slice Knots

Charles Stine, Brandeis University Title: The Complexity of Shake Slice Knots It is a well studied conjecture that a shake slice knot is in fact slice. Many counterexamples have been given, but most are close to being slice in a technical sense. In this talk, we will give a precise way to

Kimihiko Motegi: L-space knots in twist families and satellite L-space knots

Abstract: Twisting a knot K in S3 along a disjoint unknot c produces a twist family of knots {Kn} indexed by the integers. Comparing the behaviors of the Seifert genus g(Kn) and the slice genus g4(Kn) under twistings, we prove that if g(Kn)āˆ’g4(Kn) [is less than] C for some constant C for i
