Distance 4 Curves in the Curve Graph of Closed Surfaces

Explore the concept of distance 4 curves in the curve graph of closed surfaces in this research talk by Kuwari Mahanta from IIT Guwahati. Delve into geometric group theory as part of the "Geometry in Groups" program organized by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Gain insights into this active area of mathematics, which has seen significant growth due to its connections with geometry, topology, dynamics, analysis, and probability. Learn about the curve graph, a fundamental object in the study of surface homeomorphisms and mapping class groups. Understand how distance 4 curves contribute to our understanding of the structure and properties of closed surfaces. Benefit from the expertise of an emerging researcher in the field as you expand your knowledge of geometric group theory and its applications to surface topology.
