An introduction to braid groups
March 18 at 3pm
At East Hall
Burns Park, Ann Arbor
🧮Some background in group theory helps
🎓Aimed at grad students and researchers
📍East Hall room 3866, 3pm sharp
See braid groups from three angles at once: as configuration spaces, mapping class groups, and pure algebra. It's the kind of math talk that connects disparate fields and makes abstract concepts click.
Academic lecture
Abstract math
Topology focus
Graduate-level
