DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/CIRGET/37/">
 SU(2) representations for toroidal homology spheres</a>\nby Tye Lidman (No
 rth Carolina State University) as part of CRM - Séminaire du CIRGET / Gé
 ométrie et Topologie\n\n\nAbstract\nThe three-dimensional Poincare conjec
 ture shows that any closed three-manifold other than the three-sphere has 
 non-trivial fundamental group. A natural question is how to measure the no
 n-triviality of such a group\, and conjecturally this can be concretely re
 alized by a non-trivial representation to SU(2). We will show that the fun
 damental groups of three-manifolds with incompressible tori admit non-triv
 ial SU(2) representations. This is joint work with Juanita Pinzon-Caicedo 
 and Raphael Zentner.\n
