[Binghamton Geometry/Topology Seminar] (no subject)

[Ross Geoghegan]

                   BINGHAMTON GEOMETRY/TOPOLOGY SEMINAR


   Date: Thursday  November 10, 2005

   Time:  2.50 pm


   Speaker: Joseph Masters (SUNY Buffalo)

   Title: Residual properties of free groups, with applications to
   hyperbolic knot manifolds

Abstract: 
We prove that finitely generated free groups satisfy a certain
strengthened version of the LERF property. We use this fact to show
that every hyperbolic knot manifold contains a closed, quasi-Fuchsian,
immersed surface. This is joint work with Xingru Zhang.


   Place: Library North 2205 followed by coffee/tea in the Anderson
          Reading Room.
