‟Random branched covers of 2-complexes” by Jean-Francois Lafont <lafont.1@osu.edu>, Ohio State University
Abstract:
I’ll introduce a random model for branched covers of 2-complexes. I’ll explain why asymptotically almost surely, a random branched cover has Gromov hyperbolic fundamental group. This is joint work with Hyeran Cho (OSU) and Rachel Skipper (Univ. Utah).
