[Topology and Geometry Seminar] “Cusp shape and tunnel number (part 2)" by Prof Jessica Purcell (Monash University)
The seminar aims to introduce research topics in topology, geometry and its interactions with other sciences. Anyone interested in mathematics is welcome to attend.
Associated to a cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold is a cusp shape, which is a point in the Teichmuller space of the torus. It is natural to ask which points in Teichmuller space arise. This is the second talk on this topic by Jessica Purcell (Professor at Monash University, Melbourne).
