CMSA/Tsinghua Math-Science Literature Lecture: Cameron Gordon – The Unknotting Number of a Knot
Prof. Cameron Gordon presented a lecture in the CMSA/Tsinghua Math-Science Literature Lecture Series. Title: The Unknotting Number of a Knot Abstract: One of the oldest and most natural knot invariants is the unknotting number, which is the minimum number of times a knot must be allowed to pass through itself in order to unknot it. Although this invariant was discussed by Tait almost 150 years ago, it is still poorly understood. For instance it is not known if it is algorithmically computable, a...
