The concordance group of classical knots C was introduced

over 50 years ago by Fox and Milnor. It is a much-studied and elusive

object which among other things has been a valuable testing ground for

various new topological (and smooth 4-dimensional) invariants. In

this talk I will address the problem of embedding C in a larger group

corresponding to the inclusion of knots in links.
