Geometry Graduate Colloquium

Titel Surfaces, graphs and complexes
Referent:in, Affiliation Marie Abadie, University of Luxembourg
Datum, Zeit 3. Oktober 2024, 16:15-17:15
Ort HG G 19.2
Abstract The goal of this talk is to provide a brief overview of the interactions between hyperbolic surfaces and certain combinatorial objects. Specifically, we will explore Brock's combinatorial approach to understanding the coarse geometry of Teichmüller space equipped with the Weil-Petersson metric. This approach revolves around using the pants graph as a combinatorial tool for navigating Teichmüller space. Along the way, we will also encounter the hexagons graph and other related questions.

Titel Hyperbolicity and winning strategies in Cops and Robbers games
Referent:in, Affiliation Raphael Appenzeller, Heidelberg University
Datum, Zeit 10. Oktober 2024, 16:15-17:15
Ort HG G 19.2
Abstract Cops and Robbers is a two-player game played on graphs, where one player tries to catch the other, while the other tries to escape. Recently, a version of this game was introduced, where the existence of a winning strategy is invariant under quasi-isometry. This allows to play the game on Cayley-graphs of groups and gives new group invariants. We spotlight some connections between Gromov-hyperbolicity and the existence of winning strategies.

Geometry Graduate Colloquium

Titel Billiard dynamics and Masur’s Criterion
Referent:in, Affiliation Sophie Schmidhuber, University of Zurich
Datum, Zeit 17. Oktober 2024, 16:15-17:15
Ort HG G 19.2
Abstract In this talk, we will show how the trajectory of a billiard ball on a billiard table with rational angles can be understood via the straight line flow on a translation surface. We will define the geodesic flow for the moduli space of translation surfaces and provide a simple but elegant proof for Masur's Criterion, which states that if the trajectory of a translation surface under the geodesic flow is recurrent, then the vertical straight line flow on the translation surface is uniquely ergodic.

Ort HG G 19.2
Abstract In 1961, Jovan Karamata proved a remarkable identity involving the Dilogarithm function and intersection of diagonals of regular polygons. We reframe the problem and give different proofs for the result. We also investigate what happens when we consider different approaches to it.

Titel The correspondence between pseudo-Anosov flows and veering triangulations.
Referent:in, Affiliation Layne Hall, University of Warwick
Datum, Zeit 31. Oktober 2024, 16:15-17:15
Ort HG G 19.2
Abstract We will describe how a family of dynamical systems can be studied using combinatorial topology. The systems in question are pseudo-Anosov flows, an abundant class of continuous dynamical systems on three-manifolds. The combinatorics comes from an object of a different flavour: veering triangulations. Both of these objects, in their own right, are closely related to the geometry and topology of the underlying manifold. We will start by introducing pseudo-Anosov flows and veering triangulations. Then, we will discuss a deep correspondence between the two.

Titel Injective metric spaces and locally elliptic action
Referent:in, Affiliation Huaitao Gui, University of Copenhagen
Datum, Zeit 7. November 2024, 16:15-17:15
Ort HG G 19.2
Abstract Can hyperbolic groups act on spaces exhibiting nonpositive curvature in a noncoarse way? The quest to understand this has led to the study of injective metric spaces. In this talk, we will discuss some basic properties of such spaces and explore their connection to nonpositive curvature. Then, we will shift to combinatorial dimension, a closely related notion which finds application in describing locally elliptic actions.

Datum, Zeit 14. November 2024, 16:15-17:15
Ort HG G 19.2
Abstract In the classical Teichmüller space, representations admit positive boundary maps. We will recall some hyperbolic geometry in order to understand this positivity at the boundary at infinity of the hyperbolic plane. Then we move to higher rank and talk about what positivity means in this case and why it is useful to find higher Teichmüller spaces.

Referent:in, Affiliation Panagiotis Papadopoulos, Universität München
Datum, Zeit 21. November 2024, 16:15-17:15
Ort HG G 19.2
Abstract Three well-studied (classes of) objects in low-dimensional topology are knots (in various settings), mapping class groups of manifolds, and motion groups. We will see how these can be related to each other, and illustrate these connections using the example of braids and links. We will then introduce the Goeritz group, which may be thought of as a higher-dimensional analogue of the (spherical) braid group, and conclude with open problems around it.
