Topology, Geometry and Life in Three Dimensions
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 11 Φεβ 2015
If
you imagine a three dimensional maze from which there is no escape, how
can you map it? Is there a way to describe what all possible mazes look
like, and how do mathematicians set about investigating them?

Caroline
Series describes how hyperbolic geometry is playing a crucial role in
answering such questions, illustrating her talk with pictures that have
inspired some striking examples of digital art.
Caroline Series is Professor of Mathematics at the Warwick Mathematics Institute, University of Warwick
Her
academic interests are in hyperbolic geometry, Kleinian groups and
dynamical systems. Her research has been on the theory of dynamical
systems and geometric patterns in three-dimensional hyperbolic spaces.
Her
work has been recognised through awards and prizes, most recently with
the Senior Anne Bennett Prize from the London Mathematical Society. She
is also a founding member of the European Women in Mathematics (EWM),
which aims to support and encourage female mathematicians across Europe.
This was filmed at a Friday Evening Discourse at the Royal Institution on 28 November 2014.
