Poisson Geometry Program Seminar: Mini course by Moira Chas

Jun 15, 2018 at 10:00 Am Title: Computer driven questions, pre-theorems and theorems in geometry Abstract: Several numbers can be associated to a free homotopy class X of closed curves on a surface S with negative Euler characteristic. Among these, – the self-intersection number of X  – the word length of X – the length … Read more

Poisson Geometry Program Seminar: Mini course by Moira Chas

Time: Jun 14, 2018 10:00 AM Speaker: Dennis Sullivan Title: The generalization of the Goldman bracket to Three dimensions and its relation to Geometrization This lecture begins with some background to the joint work of Moira Chas and Siddartha Gadgil recognizing “geometrization”. We describe elementary pictorial computations of the zeroth, first and second homology of the … Read more
