Geometry/Topology

Speaker: Elizabeth Klodginski, UC Davis
Location: 693 Kerr
Start time: Wed, Dec 1 2004, 4:10PM

This talk will discuss the role totally geodesic surfaces play in studying hyperbolic 3-manifolds, and give an overview of methods and results particular to knot complements. This will primarily be a survey talk aimed at graduate students.
