Abstract:

we (try to) give a friendly guide for shearing between hyperbolic surfaces in as ``efficient" a manner as possible. On the way, we'll see Teichmueller spaces, Thurston's earthquake theorem, and a novel metric on Teichmueller space called the earthquake metric which has surprising connections to both the Thurston metric and the Weil-Petersson metric. This is work in collaboration with K. Ohshika, H. Pan and A. Papadopoulos.

The earthquake metric
AbstractEarthquakes are natural generalisations of Fenchel-Nielsen twists deformations on Teichmueller space, and Thurston’s remarkable earthquake theorem asserts that any hyperbolic metric on a given closed surface can be deformed to any other by a unique (left) earthquake. This was famously employed by Kerckhoff in his proof of the Nielsen realisation problem, which quickly cemented their im...

BIMSA-YMSC Geometry and Dynamics Seminar | Metric geometry on Grothendieck groups in symplectic geometry
AbstractIn this talk, we will introduce a new method to carry out quantitative studies on the Grothendieck group of a derived Fukaya category. This fits into a bigger algebraic framework called triangulated persistence category (TPC). This category unites the persistence module structure (from topological data analysis) and the classical triangulated structure so that a meaningful measurement, ...
