Geometry and Topology in Group Theory

Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar

Speaker: Gabriel Amos, UC Davis
Location: 2112 MSB
Start time: Tue, Nov 2 2010, 12:10PM

In this talk I will give a basic introduction to topological and geometric group theory, and give a constructive interpretation of Bass-Serre theory. There should be no background required but familiarity with fundamental groups and covering theory will be useful.
