Abstract
Property P for knots is concerned with the question of constructing counterexamples to the Poincaré conjecture by surgery on the 3-sphere along a single knot. The talk reviews the recent work by Kronheimer on Mrowka on this question, with special emphasis on the role played by contact geometry.
