Title: Some classical invariants of links and their higher-dimensional 
analogues


Abstract: In my talk I will review the notions of links and knots and 
their higher dimensional analogues. I will then define certain 
invariants of (higher dimensional) links under ambient isotopy. Such 
"classical" invariants can be described purely in geometric terms. I 
will give some simple examples of (higher-dimensional) links with 
non-trivial values of the invariants.
