title = "The Role of Links in the Study of 3-Manifolds",
author = "Anthony Bosman",
note = "3-manifolds are spaces that locally resemble Euclidean 3-dimensional space. The study and classification of such manifolds is of central concern in topology and geometry. We introduce the notion of surgery on a link as a means of obtaining 3-manifolds; a deep result of Lickorish and Wallace tells us that all sufficiently nice 3-manifolds can be obtained by such surgery.; Andrews Research Conference ; Conference date: 01-01-2017",
