BMS Professor Igor Rivin from the Temple University (Philadelphia) will teach a BMS Lecture Series on "Hyperbolic Polyhedra".
The lectures will take place on
- 28 October 2011 at 10:15 am at TU, Seminar: Discrete Differential Geometry
- 08 November 2011 at 4:15 pm at TU, Seminar: Discrete Differential Geometry
- 17 November 2011 at 2:15 pm at FU, Arnimallee 2, seminar room, Seminar: Discrete Geometry
- 24 November 2011 at 2:15 pm at FU, Arnimallee 2, seminar room, Seminar: Discrete Geometry
In this lecture series Igor Rivin will talk about (mostly hyperbolic) polyhedral geometry, and its connections to such diverse subjects as:
Computational geometry
Low dimensional topology
Geometric group theory
Number theory
Theoretical physics
The lectures will assume no prerequisites.
