Abstracts

Sep 11: Maciej Borodzik (University of Warsaw) "Link concordance implies link homotopy"

We give a sketch of a proof that link concordance implies link homotopy. We explain the consequence and then dive into the construction of immersed Morse theory. This is a joint result with Mark Powell and Peter Teichner.
