Subevent of Geometric Topology - Thurs. AM
‟Rigidity Phenomena for Surface Amalgams ” by Yandi Wu <yandi.wu@rice.edu>, Rice University
Abstract:
Geometric rigidity theory aims to determine a geometric object with the smallest amount of data possible. For instance, one could ask whether the volume or length set of a manifold determines its metric. In this talk, I will motivate and present some results related to length spectrum and volume rigidity for negatively curved surface amalgams, natural generalizations of negatively curved surfaces.
