Geometry and Topology Reading Seminar 2011/12
Reading Seminar on Ending Lamination TheoremAutumn Term 2011
|
---|
The Reading Seminar on the Ending Lamination Theorem will take place from 11 am to 13 am on Thursday and Friday in Term I (starting in Week 2), see the table below for details of the schedule. See below also for a list of the participants. The goal is to understand deeper than in our previous reading seminar, the statement and the proof of the Ending Lamination Theorem. We will mainly follow the paper Combinatorial and geometrical aspects of hyperbolic 3-manifolds by Yair Minsky. In this paper the author analyse the case of a five holed sphere. Since this case it more easy, we can describe with more details the tools involved. We will also try to give the general definition of the topics we will cover and, for this, we will follow the first chapter of The classification of Kleinian surface groups, I: models and bounds by Yair Minsky and the first two chapters of The classification of Kleinian surface groups, II: The ending lamination conjecture by Jeff Brock, Dick Canary and Yair Minsky. We will use also the book Outer Circles by Albert Marden. Essential background material will be the article A crash course on Kleinian groups by Caroline Series. For an introduction to the notion of Hierarchies, we suggest the lecture notes of the TCC course Hierarchies and the curve complex by Saul Schleimer. All are welcome. See here for information about other Geometry and Topology activities at Warwick.

Directions to the University are available here. The Mathematics institute is in the Zeeman Building, which is number 37 on the map available here. Warning: The University of Warwick is not in the town of Warwick, but on the outskirts of Coventry - the correct train stations are Coventry or Leamington Spa (closer if coming from Oxford).
