[K-OS] Knot Online Seminar


[K-OS] is an online research seminar which focuses on knot theory and low-dimensional topology. Talks will be delivered by authors of recent arXiv articles that made a breakthrough in our field. It happens the 3rd Thursday of every month from 16:15 to 17:15 (CET/CEST Berlin, Brussels, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Vienna, Warsaw, Zurich) on Zoom.

It is organized by Alexandra Kjuchukova, Lukas Lewark, Delphine Moussard and Emmanuel Wagner. It benefits from logistical support from the CNRS, the university of Paris and the ETHZ.

If there is a recent arXiv preprint which you would like to see featured on the seminar, please email the organizers with your suggestion.

The K-OS talks are also listed in a Google Calendar.

Forthcoming Talks


20 March 2025
  • Speaker: Patricia Cahn (Smith College)
  • Title: Rep-tiles (on 2412.19986)
  • Abstract: An n-dimensional rep-tile is a PL submanifold of ℝn that can be decomposed into isometric re-scaled copies of itself, with non-overlapping interiors. We give a complete isotopy classification of rep-tiles in all dimensions. This is joint work with Blair, Kjuchukova, and Schwartz.
