Séminaires : Phd Seminar - Séminaire des doctorant.e.s

Le séminaire des doctorant.e.s est l'occasion pour les doctorant.e.s de présenter des résultats et des problématiques dignes d'intérêt devant un public de non-spécialistes. L'ambiance y est informelle ; poser des questions naïves est encouragé, et les questions moins naïves sont bienvenues dans la mesure où elles n'entravent pas le bon déroulement de l'exposé.

Chaque jeudi à 18h, en alternance entre Jussieu et Sophie Germain.

The PhD seminar is an opportnuity for PhD students to present results and topics worthy of interest in front of a non-specialist audience. The mood is informal ; asking naive questions is highly encouraged and less naive questions are also welcomed, as long as they don't intefere with the smoothness of the talk.

Every Thursday at 6pm, alternating between Jussieu and Sophie Germain.

The fine curve graph of a surface S, denoted C † (S) was introduced by Bowden, Hensel, and Webb in [BHW22]. It is analogous to the classical curve graph C(S) which has been used to explore the mapping class group MCG(S). This new curve graph is also Gromov hyperbolic and it is a tool to study the homeomorphism or diffeomorphism groups of a surface. In this talk, we will get to know this object. We then take a look at the interesting questions and known results of this field of research. In particular, we will see how questions about the fine curve graph relate to dynamics, and more specifically rotation theory.
