From ribbon graphs to Riemann surfaces (and back again)

Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar

Speaker: Andy Port, UC Davis
Location: 2112 MSB
Start time: Tue, Sep 29 2009, 12:10PM

I'll give some background on ribbon graphs and Riemann surfaces, then show the bijection between punctured Riemann surfaces and metric ribbon graphs with labeled boundary components.
