If time permits\, I will then discuss a generalisation of this result involving twisted Alexander polynomials.\n DTSTART:20170201T200000Z DTEND:20170201T210000Z LOCATION:Room 920\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Anthony Conway\, University of Geneva URL:/mathstat/channels/event/anthony-conway-university -geneva-265411 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
