Obstructing Klein bottle surgeries using immersed curves

Abstract:

Dehn surgery is a topological process that creates new 3-dimensional manifolds from the 3-dimensional sphere by excising and regluing a thickened knot in interesting ways. We study when specific surgeries using fibered knots can contain a Klein bottle. We use Heegaard Floer topological invariants in their more tractable immersed curves form. This talk is aimed at undergraduates interested in accessible research topics in geometry and topology.
