Coxeter groups, simplicial trees, and actions on hyperbolic space

Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar

Speaker: Yvonne Lai, UC Davis
Location: 2112 MSB
Start time: Tue, Oct 2 2007, 1:10PM

After a friendly introduction to Coxeter groups and hyperbolic space, I will introduce the space of discrete and faithful actions of a group on hyperbolic space. We will end on a recent result concerning the size of such spaces and how this result might be generalized.
