Description
Any hypersurface in a contact manifold comes equipped with a natural dynamical system, called the characteristic foliation. In this talk, I will explain some recent results on the dynamics of characteristic foliations along with some applications to longstanding open problems in contact topology. This is joint work with Michael Huang (USC) and Yakov Eliashberg (Stanford).
Group meeting presentation 4pm Friday.
