Intro Talk - Mapping Tori of Surfaces and the Mapping Class Group
Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar| Speaker: | Ursula Hamenstadt, University of Bonn |
| Location: | 3106 MSB |
| Start time: | Tue, Apr 12 2016, 11:00AM |
We introduce mapping tori of surfaces as examples of hyperbolic 3-manifolds which fibre over the circle. We also discuss some basic properties of the mapping class group of a closed surface introduce random mapping tori.
This introduction will be non-technical and based on examples.
