Simple Closed Curves, Foliations, and Flat Surfaces
Ser-Wei Fu (NCTS)
Abstract:
Simple closed curves often serve as the example to connect intuition to theorems. This talk will start from Riemann surfaces and conclude with length rigidity and deformations. The focus will be placed on the intermediate object, the space of measured foliations. The aim of the talk is to present the beautiful intertwined picture involving the mapping class group, Teichmuller theory, holomorphic quadratic differentials, and the dynamics of deformations.
