WClips/Navigation

Back to WKO.
Next Meeting. On Thursday (unusual day!) May 10, 2012, 12-2, at Bahen 4010 either Dror Bar-Natan or Zsuzsanna Dancso will tell about the expansion for w-tangles, its target space, and how it relates to spaces considered by Alekseev and Torossian.

Announcements. small circle, UofT, LDT Blog (also here). Email Dror to join our mailing list!

Resources. How to use this site, Dror's notebook, blackboard shots.
