Classifying 2-dimensional orbifolds

Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar

Speaker: Patrick Weed, UCD
Location: 2112 MSB
Start time: Tue, Jan 13 2015, 1:10PM

I will give give a brief introduction to orbifolds, covering orbifolds, and the Euler characteristic. Afterwards, I will give a geometric classification of 2-dimensional orbifolds and its importance. This is a short talk accessible to those with minimal background in basic topology!
