THE SEMINAR

THEORY OF DUALITY

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN PHYSICS



On the 27th of April 2017, at 10:15 a.m.

Maciej Borodzik (ZUD MIMUW)

will give a talk on

"Solid angles and Seifert hypersurfaces"

Abstract
We show an explicit way to provide an explicit construction of a Seifert hypersurface for a codimension-2 link in |Rn+2. The construction involves calculating solid angles of some surfaces. This reveals connections of our construction with magnetic potential studied already by Maxwell. This is a joint project with Supredee Dangskul (Edinburgh/Bangkok) and Andrew Ranicki (Edinburgh).

The seminar takes place on Thursdays from 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 in the room 2.23 of the main building of the Faculty of Physics (the 2nd floor), Pasteur Str. 5, Warszawa.
