The Kakimizu complex of a link
by
Jessica Banks
CRM-ISM, Montreal
We give an introduction to the Kakimizu complex of a link, covering a number of (fairly) recent results. In particular we will see that the Kakimizu complex of a knot may be locally infinite, that the Alexander polynomial of an alternating link carries information about its Seifert surfaces, and that the Kakimizu complex of a special alternating link is understood.
