[Tam Nguyen Phan]

    BINGHAMTON GEOMETRY/TOPOLOGY SEMINAR


   Date: Thursday, October 9, 2014

   Time:  2.50 pm

   Place: Old Whitney Hall, Room 100E,  followed by coffee/tea in the
      Hilton Reading Room. Note the new location of the math department.


   Speaker: David Constantine (Wesleyan University)
   Title: Some marked-length spectrum rigidity results for Fuchsian
buildings

Abstract:
I will present a few results on the question of marked-length spectrum
rigidity for compact quotients of Fuchsian buildings. That is, I will
detail some cases where knowing the length of the geodesic representative
in each free homotopy class of loops is enough to recover the entire
geometry of the building. Similar results hold for non-positively curved
locally symmetric spaces and non-positively curved surfaces. This is joint
work in progress with Jean-Francois Lafont.
