Extension into handlebodies and limits of Kleinian groups- Ian Biringer

Conference Title: GEAR Retreat 2012 Theme: Hyperbolic 3-manifolds (3 of 5) Title: Extension into handlebodies and limits of Kleinian groups Speaker: Ian Biringer, Yale Univ.; Date and Time: Wednesday August 8, 14:00 Description: We will discuss work with Johnson-Minsky and Lecuire concerning the extension of homeomorphisms of the boundary of a handlebody into its interior. Although the motivation is topological, our techniques come from 3-dimensional hyperbolic geometry.
