Title: Uniform distribution of saddle connection lengths
Speaker: Donald Robertson
Speaker Info: University of Utah
Brief Description:
Special Note:
Abstract:

Saddle connections on flat surfaces are those straight lines on the surface connecting singularities. In this talk I will discuss joint work with Jon Chaika proving that, for almost every flat surface, the sequence of lengths of its saddle connections is uniformly distributed mod 1.
