Title of Seminar: Infosys Chandrasekharan Random Geometry Colloquium
Title of Talk: Translation surfaces and their connections
Speaker: Jon Chaika, University of Utah
Date: October 18, 2021
Time: 19:30:00 Hours
Venue: via Zoom
Abstract: A translation surface is a Riemann surface equipped with a metric that is locally Euclidean away from finitely many points, which are cone points with angle an integer multiple of $2 \pi$. This talk will present connections that translations surfaces have with billiards in polygons, smooth flows on surfaces and geometric topology.
