DESCRIPTION:A topologist might hope that results in knot theory can always 
	be extended to links. Decades of work in link theory show such extensions 
	are not always straightforward and are\, in fact\, sometimes impossible. T
	here are also properties and strategies unique to link theory. For all the
	se reasons\, link theory is a rich source of relationships to driving ques
	tions in the study of topology in dimensions 3 and 4. Among the most compe
	lling are connections to 4-dimensional surgery\, exotica in dimension 4\, 
	and the study of surfaces in 4-manifolds. Additionally\, a vast number of 
	open questions and unexplored topics remain within the confines of the the
	ory in areas such as link concordance\, link homotopy\, and homology theor
	ies\, including Heegaard Floer homology and Khovanov homology.\n\nThis wor
	kshop will bring together low-dimensional topologists of all backgrounds t
	o further the general knowledge of link theory within the low-dimensional 
	topology community\, including techniques and tools used to study links an
	d important open questions connected to link theory.
