Low Dimensional Topology and Circle-valued Morse Functions

Low Dimensional Topology and Circle-valued Morse Functions

Explore a compelling conference talk on taut foliations in 3-manifolds presented by Tao Li from Boston College. Delve into the intricate world of low-dimensional topology as Li discusses the existence of co-orientable taut foliations in closed, orientable, and irreducible 3-manifolds with Heegaard genus two. Learn about the connection between left-orderable fundamental groups and the presence of these foliations. This one-hour presentation, part of the "Low Dimensional Topology & Circle-valued Morse Functions" conference at the University of Miami, offers valuable insights for mathematicians and researchers interested in 3-manifold topology and foliation theory.
