Topology Seminar: Peter Lambert-Cole (Georgia Tech) "Bridge trisections and the Thom conjecture"

Abstract: The classical degree-genus formula computes the genus of a nonsingular algebraic curve in the complex projective plane. The well-known Thom conjecture posits that this is a lower bound on the genus of smoothly embedded, oriented and connected surface in CP2. The conjecture was first proved twenty-five years ago by Kronheimer and Mrowka, using Seiberg-Witten invariants. In this talk, we will describe a new proof of the conjecture that…

Title of talk:   An introduction to contact geometry. We'll be discussing basic notions and the relevance of contact geometry to low-dimensional topology.

Algebra Seminar: Jon Carlson, Professor Emeritus (UGA)

Title: Products in the cohomology of local Hopf algebras Abstract: This is joint work with Lucho Avramov and Srikanth Iyengar. Suppose that A is a local commutative Hopf algebra over a field of prime characteristic. The question that we investigate is: How does the a change in the coalgebra structure alter the action of the cohomology ring on the cohomology of modules? This question is particularly interesting in the case that A is the group…

Topology Seminar: Hyunshik Shin (UGA) "Asymptotic translation on the curve complex"

Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss various properties of asymptotic translation lengths of pseudo-Anosov elements of mapping class groups on curve complex. In particular, we will discuss the asymptotic behavior of minimal asymptotic translation lengths of mapping class group and its subgroups. If time permits, I will describe the relation between the asymptotic translation length of pseudo-Anosov elements and Thurston's fibered cone of…
