Modern Mathematics Lecture Series Tue. Unramified correspondance and virtual homology of mapping class groups

Time：Tue.,16:00-17:00, Nov.15, 2022

Venue：ID 271 534 5558 Passcode: YMSC

Speaker：Prof. Vladimir Markovic

Abstract：

I shall discuss my recent work showing that the Bogomolov-Tschinkel universality conjecture holds if and only if the mapping class groups of a punctured surface is large (which is essentially the negation of the Ivanov conjecture about the mapping class groups). I will also discuss my recent work with O. Tosic regarding the closely related Putman-Wieland conjecture.

Prizes and Distinctions

Vladimir Markovic has made fundamental contributions to the theory of three-dimensional manifolds, resolving several long-standing problems, among them the proof of the Thurston conjecture concerning immersed almost-geodesic surfaces in closed hyperbolic three-manifolds.

Modern Mathematics Lecture Series Representation theory and a little bit of quantum field theory
Abstract：One of the central foci of representation theory in the 20th century was the representation theory of Lie algebras, starting with finite dimensional algebras and expanding to a rich, but still mysterious infinite dimensional theory. In this century, we realized that this was only one special case of a bigger theory, with new sources of interesting non-commutative algebras whose repres...
