It is known that for a given torus knot all but finitely man y non-integer slopes are characterizing and that for hyperbolic knots all but finitely many slopes with q>2 are characterizing. I will discuss the p roofs of these results\, which have a surprising amount in common.\n\nLink : https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/98910726246?pwd=VHlzTzdTZGtqcHVuWGNKdys4d0FzQT0 9\n\nZoom ID: 989 1072 6246\n Password: delta\n DTSTART:20200930T190000Z DTEND:20200930T200000Z SUMMARY:Duncan McCoy (UQÀM) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/duncan-mccoy-uqam-324954 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
