Stretch Factors of Graph Maps and Free Group Automorphisms by Radhika Gupta

Explore the mathematical concepts of stretch factors in graph maps and free group automorphisms in this 31-minute lecture by Radhika Gupta. Delivered as part of the Inaugural Meeting of Asian-Oceanian Women in Mathematics, hosted by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, this talk delves into advanced topics in geometric group theory. Gain insights into the relationships between graph theory and group theory, and understand how stretch factors play a crucial role in analyzing the behavior of automorphisms. Suitable for graduate students and researchers in mathematics, this lecture contributes to the broader goal of fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing among women mathematicians in the Asian-Oceanian region.
