2009 Topology Seminar - 01
- Date: 01/21/2009
Location:
University of British Columbia
Topic:
Fox calculus and fibred manifolds
Description:
This talk is dedicated to the memory of Bernard Perron, who recently
passed away. We collaborated on work involving automorphisms of a free
group: he showed me how to understand the induced automorphisms on the
lower central series quotients, using the Fox free calculus. My talk
will discuss this, with applications to the orderability of fundamental
groups of certain manifolds which fibre over the circle.
