Knot Detection Results in RP^3
Hongjian Yang,
Department of Mathematics,
Stanford University,
Following Kronheimer and Mrowka's approach, we prove thta Khovanov homology detects the unknot and the standard RP^1 in RP^3. I'll explain the idea of the proof. Time permitting, I'll discuss some further detection results.
