[Describing Knotted Surfaces, and Constructing Invariants]

, Скотт Картер

Факультет математики и статистики, Университет Южной Алабамы

Аннотация: Most of this talk is a broad review of material found in other sources including books with Saito and Kamada. I'll bring a lot of the material up to date with a fresh look at movies and charts. A detailed discussion of movie-moves would take too long, but some of these isotopies will be illustrated within the context of the talk. I'll show how a 2-dimensional diagram of a graph with certain vertices and labels on edges can be used to describe a knotted surface in 4-dimensional space. I'll also discuss a method of assigning color vectors to regions in such a way that invariants that are associated to the fundamental group are computed. Many examples of non-orientable surfaces will be given.
