Colloquium






Ali Kamalinejad

(Sharif University of Technology)
Classification of surface homeomorphisms
 
An introduction to the classical work of W. Thurston about surfaces, in particular,  the Classification of surface homeomorphisms.




Hossein Namazi

(University of Texas at Austin)
Kleinian Groups, Hyperbolic manifolds and three dimensional topology

In these talks, I will try to give an overview of some of the recent developments in the subjects mentioned in the title. We concentrate on the density conjecture and also on a program for finding constructive solutions to Thurston's Geometrization.



Alexandra Pettet

(University of British Columbia)

Geometry and Topology of the Outer Automorphism Group of a Free Group
