SUMMARY:Billiards in polygons, and the SL(2,R) action on moduli spaces of translation surfaces
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Howard Masur\, University of Chicago\n\nAn appealing example of a dynamical system is billiards in a polygon. The most studied examples are when the vertex angles are rational multiples of pi. By an unfolding procedure the billiard flow gives rise to a straight line flow on what is called a translation surface. It turns out that the …
