Geometry MMA Seminar: Relation between algebraic and dynamical properties of mapping classes of surfaces

Apr 10, 2023, 10:30 - 11:30 AM

 

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

Place: Exploratory Hall, Room 4106
