Title: Symmetry and Teichmuller curves
Speaker: D. Ben McReynolds
Speaker Info: U. of Chicago
Brief Description:
Special Note:
Abstract:
I will discuss some recent work with Jordan Ellenberg on Teichmuller curves and Veech groups. The plan is to connect congruence subgroups, geometric and algebraic symmetry, and Teichmuller curves. I will aim for a general audience and believe the material will be accessible to beginning graduate students.Date: Tuesday, May 18, 2010
