Title: From dimension 2 to 3 and back again
In this talk, Marissa Kawehi Loving will tell us a little bit of Thurston’s beautiful story connecting the dynamics of finite-type surface homeomorphisms with the geometry of 3-manifolds. She will then share some more recent work which connect the dynamics of infinite-type surface homeomorphisms with the geometry of 3-manifolds.
Her aim is for the talk to be accessible to a broad audience with many illustrations to help build intuition without getting too far into the technical weeds.
There will be snacks offered 4-4:30 p.m. in Steitz Atrium.
