Deforming hyperbolic three-manifolds

Student-Run Geometry/Topology Seminar

Location: 3106 MSB
Start time: Tue, Apr 9 2019, 11:00AM

We will study the deformation space of hyperbolic structures on a cusped hyperbolic three-manifold M and review Thurston’s theory of hyperbolic Dehn filling. We will then explore the real projective deformations of M and the local structure of the SL(4,R) character variety as a preview of the main talk.
