Talk Abstract:
The mean curvature flow provides a way to generate paths in the space of hypersurfaces so can be used to prove connectedness theorems, but it has its limitations. In this talk we explain how an extension of the mean curvature flow, mean curvature flow with surgery, can be used to partially overcome these limitations and prove stronger connectedness results.
