Surfaces of small principle curvatures in hyperbolic 3-manifolds

Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar

Speaker: Bill Breslin, UC Davis
Location: 2112 MSB
Start time: Thu, Mar 9 2006, 1:10PM

A totally geodesic surface in a hyperbolic 3-manifold has some nice properties. I will discuss the following question: Which properties of totally geodesic surfaces hold for surfaces with "small" principle curvatures?
