Mathematics Colloquium – Dynamics on Character Varieties over Finite Fields

April 1 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm

Hill Auditorium Barrows Hall, 91��, Orono, ME, United States

Speaker: Cigole Thomas, Bates College Abstract: Character varieties arise as spaces that parametrize group homomorphisms from a finitely presented group Γ into an “nice” algebraic group G, up to a natural notion of equivalence. In this talk, we explore these spaces by studying their points over finite fields Fq and examining how symmetries of the […]
