Title of talk: On the topology of ending laminations space

Abstract: The Ending lamination space is a naturally defined space associated to a surface of negative Euler characteristic that is important in hyperbolic geometry and geometric group theory. We will discuss recent progress on characterizing the topology of these beautiful and mysterious spaces.

Refreshments will be served preceding each lecture.

There will be a banquet honoring Prof. Gabai, the evening of Tuesday, Apr. 16, 2013 at the Rialto Club, Hotel Indigo.

 Pre-registration for banquet is required. Please contact Julie McEver, julie@math.uga.edu
