Title Generalizing hyperbolicity via local-to-global behavior
Speaker, Affiliation Davide Spriano, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
Date, Time 4 March 2020, 15:45-16:45
Location HG G 43
Abstract An important property of a Gromov hyperbolic space is that every path that is locally a quasi-geodesic is globally a quasi-geodesic. A theorem of Gromov states that this is a characterization of hyperbolicity, which means that all the properties of hyperbolic spaces and groups can be traced back to this simple fact. In this talk we generalize this property by considering only Morse quasi-geodesic.  We show that not only this allows to consider a much larger class of examples, such as CAT(0) spaces, hierarchically hyperbolic spaces and fundamental groups of 3-manifolds, but also to effortlessly generalize several results from the theory of hyperbolic groups that were previously unknown in this generality.

Title Invariants for sublinear bilipschitz equivalence
Speaker, Affiliation Gabriel Pallier, Università di Pisa
Date, Time 11 March 2020, 15:45-16:45
Location HG G 43
Abstract Sublinear bilipschitz equivalences between metric spaces are generalized quasiisometries. In this generalization, the large-scale Lipschitz behavior is kept, while the (uniformly) coarse behavior is not kept. These equivalences appear in the study of asymptotic cones of Lie groups by Cornulier. They occur especially between families of non-pairwise quasiisometric nilpotent or solvable connected Lie groups with close structure. In this talk, I will give an introduction to sublinear bilipschitz equivalences and report on my work on revisiting the classical quasiisometric invariants of groups to determine which of them can be turned into sublinear asymptotic invariants. This lies in continuation of Gromov's questions of classifying homogeneous spaces (e.g. Riemannian symmetric spaces and noncompact solvmanifolds) up to quasiisometry and investigate their quasiisometric rigidity. I will present a partial classification result for the Riemannian homogeneous spaces of negative curvature, and discuss the open problem of determining which groups are sublinearly bilipschitz equivalent to real hyperbolic spaces.

Title ONLINE Seminar - Statistics of finite degree covers of torus knot complements
Speaker, Affiliation Dr. Bram Petri, Université Sorbonne
Date, Time 20 May 2020, 15:45-16:45
Location ONLINE Seminar
Abstract A classical theorem due to Hempel states that the fundamental group of a compact three manifold is residually finite. In other words, the manifold has many finite degree covers. This leads to the question how many such covers there are of a given degree, what their typical properties are and what data of the manifold is encoded in these statistics. In this talk, I will speak about joint work with Elizabeth Baker in which we studied these questions for torus knot complements.
