Thurston's classification of surface automorphisms Part I
Thursday August 23, 2007
01:30PM - 02:20PM
Speakers:
Genevieve Walsh
Abstract:
I'll describe the three types of surface automorphisms, as classified
by Thurston and Nielsen. I'll also outline a proof of the
classification. Along the way, Teichmuller space, measured
foliations, and the mapping class group will be discussed.
