Combinatorics of the moduli space of surfaces

Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar

Speaker: Brad Safnuk, UC Davis

When integrating on the moduli space of hyperbolic structures on a surface, one can utilize the rich combinatorial structure of the space. In fact, integration can be transformed into a graph counting problem. I will explain this correspondence, and some related problems. No prior knowledge will be assumed.
