Speaker: Faye Jackson
University of Chicago
Will give a Topology Seminar entitled:
Lifting braids to elliptic fibrations
Abstract: In this talk I will explain a connection between elliptic fibrations of complex surfaces, spherical braid groups, and SL2 character varieties. The only background assumed will be standard first-year graduate courses.
