Kristen Hendricks Department of Mathematics Columbia University Contact Info Office: 408 Mathematics E-mail: hendricks@math.columbia.edu About Me I am a fifth year graduate student at the Columbia Department of Mathematics. I work with Peter Ozsváth and Robert Lipshitz. Here is my CV. Research I am interested in low dimensional topology, symplectic geometry, and knot theory, particularly knot homology theories and categorification. At the moment I am especially interested in the relationship between knot Floer homology and various branched cover constructions. I wrote a paper proving a rank inequality for the knot Floer homology of the branched double cover of the three sphere over a knot. It has been accepted for publication in Algebraic & Geometric Topology. I wrote a paper about a localization theorem for the link Floer homology of doubly-periodic knots that recovers some classical results concerning their geometry. Teaching Presently I am the teaching assistant for Math G4307: Algebraic Topology I. In Summer 2012 I was a teaching assistant for the Columbia topology REU.
