Systolic inequalities on surfaces

Who: Dr. Stephane Sabourau, Saint Joseph's University

When and Where: Thursday, March 17, in Barbelin 226 at 11:30.

Brown Bag Colloquium

Abstract:
The systole of a surface is defined as the length of a shortest noncontractible loop. Systolic inequalities on surfaces relate the area of surfaces to their systoles and can be thought as intrinsic versions of isoperimetric inequalities. In this talk, I will present such inequalities following the historical developments of the subject.

The next colloquium is scheduled for March 24th to be given by Saint Joseph's Emeritus Professor Ranan Banerji. He will be speaking on Self-Reference and Diagonalization.

Presented by the SJU Math and Computer Science Department.
