[Binghamton Geometry Topology Seminar] GT-Seminar Meenakshy Jyothis speaking

[Jose Roman Aranda Cuevas]

Hi everyone,

This week we are pleased to have our very own Meenakshy Jyothis speaking
about her work on geodesic currents, title, and abstract below. This will
be an *in-person talk*, today Thursday at 2:50 pm in WH 100E.

We will also have a lunch social, meeting at 12 pm just outside WH100E. See
you there!

Best,
Cary and Roman

Speaker: Meenakshy Jyothis (Binghamton)
Title: Automorphisms of geodesic currents the preserves intersection form
Abstract: In this talk we will be looking at Ivanov's conjecture in the
context of geodesic currents. The space of geodesic currents generalizes
various objects of interest on a surface, such as the set of closed curves
up to homotopy and the Teichmüller space. I will talk about a particular
group of automorphisms of this space and will compare it to the mapping
class group.

Invanov's conjectured that every object naturally associated to a surface
and having a `sufficiently rich' structure has mapping class group as its
groups of automorphisms. It is already known that the conjecture holds true
for various combinatorial objects associated with a surface as well as for
the Teichmüller space of a surface.
