Title: Pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms and their suspension flows
Abstract: The most interesting homeomorphisms of surfaces are the ones that are pseudo-Anosov. They are characterized by the existence of a pair of singular foliations whose leaves are respectively stretched or contracted under the homeomorphism. In this talk, I will discuss the key properties of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms and their suspension flows on three-manifolds that fiber over the circle.
