SUMMARY:Simplicial volume and locally symmetric spaces
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jean-Francois Lafont\, The Ohio State University\n\nThe notion of simplicial volume was introduced by Gromov and Thurston in the early 1980's, and measures how efficiently a manifold can be "triangulated over the reals". I'll explain various results that follow from positivity of this invariant. I will also outline the proof (joint with B. Schmidt) …
