A is said to be slice if it bounds a in the . We demonstrate that the , 11n34 in the Rolfsen tables, is not slice.

I didn’t allow myself to work on it during the day,” she said, “because I didn’t consider it to be real math. I thought it was, like, my homework.

It’s really [three- and four-dimensional shapes] that are exciting for me, but the study of these things is deeply linked with knot theory.
