Abstract:The tropical methods have already been used to study the moduli theory of algebraic curves during the past decade. In this talk, I will first discuss about the tropicalization of a smooth pointed Riemann surface via its (hyperbolic) pair of pants decomposition, and then about how to compactify the moduli space of tropicalizations in a geometrically meaningful way
In my talk, I will speak on the super-rigidity of Gromov's random monster group. It is a finitely generated random group $\Gamma_\alpha$ ( $\alpha$ is in a probability space $\mathcal{A}$) constructed using an expander graph by M. Gromov in 2000. It provides a counterexample to the Baum-Connes conjecture for groups with coefficients in commutative $C^*$-algebra. It is already known that it has ...
