Smith Hall 509
Elmas Irmak
Mapping
Class Groups
Abstract: I will talk about the mapping class groups of compact, connected, orientable surfaces. I will discuss how combinatorics of different curve complexes on surfaces is used to study the algebraic structure of the mapping class groups.
Snacks will be served.
Next Colloquium: Tuesday.
