‟Distinguishing filling curve types via special metrics” by Sayantika Mondal <smondal@gradcenter.cuny.edu>, The Graduate Center, CUNY
Abstract:
In this talk, we look at filling curves on hyperbolic surfaces and consider its length infima in the moduli space of the surface as a type invariant. In particular, explore the relations between the length infimum of curves and their self-intersection number. For any given surface, we will construct infinite families of filling curves that cannot be distinguished by self-intersection number but via length infimum. I might also discuss some coarse bounds on the special metrics associated with these infimum lengths.
