DESCRIPTION:Raphael Zentner\, Regensburg\n\nTitle: “Irreducible SL(2\,C)-
 representations of integer homology 3-spheres”\n\nAbstract: We prove tha
 t the splicing of any two non-trivial knots in the 3-sphere admits an irre
 ducible SU(2)-representation of its fundamental group. This uses instanton
  gauge theory\, and in particular a non-vanishing result of Kronheimer-Mro
 wka and some new results that we establish for holonomy perturbations of t
 he ASD equation. Using a result of Boileau\, Rubinstein and Wang (which bu
 ilds on the geometrization theorem of 3-manifolds)\, it follows that the f
 undamental group of any integer homology 3-sphere different from the 3-sph
 ere admits irreducible representations of its fundamental group in SL(2\,C
 ).
