3-manifold workshop

Workshop theme

This workshop aims to deepen the interactions between researchers working on the development of new homological methods and their application to 3-dimensional topology and the larger 3-manifold community who continue to develop the field using the broad array of more classical combinatorial/geometric methods.

Applications for this workshop are now closed
