  • Mathematics Colloquium – Dynamics on Character Varieties over Finite Fields

    Hill Auditorium Barrows Hall, University of Maine, 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 […]
