Higher linking of Knots: Stallings theorem |
| Abstract | : |
A central result used in studying higher
linking of knots is a theorem of Stalling on lower central series. Stallings's proof was based on spectral sequences, but he indicated that the result can be proved directly using Hopf's description of homology of groups. In this talk Stallings theorem will be explained and a direct proof will be presented. |
