Will give a Topology Seminar entitled:
Polynomials, configurations and braids
Abstract: Farb initiated a program to study special maps between certain moduli spaces. The goal of the program is to characterize the maps in terms of the complex structure of the associated varieties. In this setting we introduce a conjecture concerning the space of polynomials, and discuss its connections to Teichmuller theory and braid groups.
