Short Curves of End-Periodic Mapping Tori
Brandis Whitfield
4:30pm|Simonyi 101

Fibered 3-manifolds are those constructed via surface homeomorphisms. Given such a manifold with pseudo-Anosov monodromy, much is already known about how topological data of the mapping class determine geometric information about the hyperbolic 3...

Monotonicity of Data Along Ricci Flow on Surfaces
Alena Erchenko
4:30pm|Simonyi 101

Consider a closed surface M of genus greater than or equal to 2. For negatively curved metrics on M and their corresponding geodesic flow, we can study the topological entropy, the Liouville entropy, and the mean root curvature. In 2004, Manning...
