Geometry and number theory seminar

Speaker: Matthieu Gendulphe (Rome)

Title: The asymptotic of the number of simple closed geodesics on a hyperbolic surface according to M Mirzakhani.

 

Abstract: Last summer, Maryam Mirzakhani received the Fields medal for "her outstanding contributions to the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces."

We will describe one of her most famous results, which illustrates the sentence above.

This talk is intended for non-experts.
