This seminar centered loosely around algebraic dynamics, complex dynamics, and related topics. We meet weekly for a 90-minute talk, with the first 30 minutes aiming towards non-experts and graduate students. After the talk we will have 30 minutes of informal discussion.More information:https://ywfan-math.github.io/ADCD.htmlAbstract The problem of counting saddle connections and closed loops on ...
AbstractIn the late 1980s, Nigel Hitchin and Michael Wolf independently discovered a parametrization of the Teichmüller space of a compact surface by holomorphic quadratic differentials. In this talk, I will describe a generalization of their result. I will explain how, by replacing holomorphic differentials by meromorphic differentials, one is naturally led to consider an object called the enh...
