Abstract/Media

Let $K$ be a knot in a thickened surface $F\times I$. Suppose a nontrivial surgery on $K$ yields a manifold which is homeomorphic to $F\times I$, then the minimal projection of $K$ on $F$ has either zero or one crossing. I will discuss the proof, as well as some further questions in gauge theory and Floer homology.
