    BINGHAMTON GEOMETRY/TOPOLOGY SEMINAR


   Date: Thursday, October 2, 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: Zhiren Wang (Pennsylvania State University)
   Title: Global Rigidity of Anosov Z^r Actions on Tori and Nilmanifolds

Abstract:
As part of a more general conjecture by Katok and Spatzier, it was asked if
all smooth Anosov Z^r-actions on tori, nilmanifolds and infranilmanifolds
without rank-1 factor actions are, up to smooth conjugacy, actions by
automorphisms. In this talk, we will discuss a recent joint work with
Federico Rodriguez Hertz that affirmatively answers this question.
