Graduate Dynamics Seminar

This seminar is new for the Spring 2025 semester! We will be meeting at 2:30 on Wednesdays in Van Vleck B325.

Organizers: Gabriela Brown and Caroline Nunn

This seminar is supported by the RTG: Geometry, Group Actions, and Dynamics at Wisconsin.

Format

This seminar is designed to be introductory and accessible for all graduate students interested in dynamics, geometric group theory, and low dimensional topology. As such, we request that speakers keep their talks in the 10-30 minute range, with the remaining time devoted to group discussion and solving problems provided by the speaker. We especially encourage students early in their grad school careers to give talks.
