The universal Teichm\"uller space and its geodesics
PDE and Applied Math Seminar| Speaker: | Tudor Ratiu, University of Lausanne |
| Location: | 1147 MSB |
| Start time: | Tue, Jan 26 2010, 4:10PM |
I will present the universal Teichm\"uller space in both its classical version as well as in the approach of Takhtajan-Teo. The Weil-Petersson metric will be discussed and its geodesics will be presented. Applications to singular solutions and imaging will be presented, time permitting.
