This search is inspired by results from Heegaard Floer homol ogy. As an example\, I will prove that nontrivial connected sums of fibere d knots are persistently foliar. This work is joint with Charles Delman.\n DTSTART:20180413T150000Z DTEND:20180413T160000Z LOCATION:Room PK-5115 \, CA\, Pavillon President-Kennedy SUMMARY:Rachel Roberts\, Washington University URL:/mathstat/channels/event/rachel-roberts-washington -university-286403 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
