BINGHAMTON GEOMETRY/TOPOLOGY SEMINAR

*Date:*  Thursday, March 13th, 2013

*Time:*  2:50-3:50pm
*Place:*  Library North 2205 followed by coffee/tea in the Anderson
Reading Room.

*Speaker: ** *Sergio Martins (Sao Paolo/Binghamton University)
*Title: * The cohomology ring of Sol 3-manifolds.

*Abstract:*  If M is a 3-manifold that admits the Sol geometry, then
either M is a torus bundle over the circle where the gluing map is
hyperbolic, or M is a sapphire (also known as torus semi-bundle) with the
said geometry. Given such a manifold, we study the structure of its
cohomology ring.
