Geometric complexity of embeddings
by
Slava Krushkal
University of Virginia

There are various notions of geometric complexity of embeddings: thickness, distortion, the minimal number of subdivisions needed for a PL embedding. I will discuss several problems concerning complexity of knots and links in 3-space, and complexity of embeddings in higher dimensions.
