How to Visualize 3-Manifolds
Çağrı Karakurt

In order to ''see'' three dimensional manifolds, a topologist often represents them with lower dimensional objects. I am going to talk about various different ways of representing 3-manifolds such as Heegaard diagrams, Dehn surgeries, open books and branched covers. Along the way, I'll also mention some of the related open problems in 3-manifold topology.
