Quasi-isometric rigidity of the mapping class groups
Wednesday November 7, 2007
02:00PM - 02:50PM
Speakers:
Jason Behrstock
Abstract:
This talk will focus on recent work concerning the geometry of the mapping class group. One of the main results I'll discuss is that, up to finite groups, any finitely generated group quasi-isometric to a mapping class group is a mapping class group. This is joint work with Bruce Kleiner, Yair Minsky, and Lee Mosher.
