Closed geodesics on incomplete surfaces
Geometry/Topology| Speaker: | Paul Norbury, University of Melbourne |
| Location: | 693 Kerr |
| Start time: | Wed, Nov 12 2003, 4:10PM |
Motivated by the question of when a Heegaard surface is isotopic to a minimal surface, we consider the problem of finding embedded closed geodesics on the two-sphere equipped with an incomplete metric.
