Speaker: Hyungryul (Harry) Baik, KAIST

Title: Relation between algebraic and dynamical properties of mapping classes of surfaces

Abstract: There is a subtle relation between algebraic and dynamical properties of elements of mapping class groups. In particular, we will investigate how the normal closure of a pseudo-Anosov element is determined by the translation length of its action on the complex of curves.

Time: Monday, April 10 – 10:30am-11:30am
