GGT: Chris Leininger
October 21, 2026 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Speaker(s):
Dear all,
The Groups, Geometry, and Topology (GGT) seminar will take place Wednesday at 3pm; details below. There will also be a short pre-talk at 2.15 by the speaker in the same room.Speaker: Chris LeiningerLocation: F.21, 7 George Square———————————Title: Asymptotically conformal mapping class groups are sometimes medium sized.Abstract: Mapping class groups of infinite type surfaces are often called "big mapping class groups", as they are uncountable topological groups. This is meant to contrast with mapping class groups of finite type surfacees, which are "small", by comparison. Come find out what a "medium sized mapping class group" is, and how it relates in some special ways with a classical branch of Teichmüller theory dealing with asymptotically conformal deformations. This will mostly focus on joint work with Aramayona and Domat, but I'll also mention earlier joint work with Aramayona, Bux, and H-J Kim.———————————Hope you can join,Alessandro and Matt
