Max Forester will speak in the topology seminar (2:30-3:30 today, MSCS 405).
Title: Genus bounds in right-angled Artin groups.
Abstract: I will discuss how to find lower bounds for stable commutator
length in right- angled Artin groups. The method has two parts: an easy
topological argument, and an argument involving properties of CAT(0) cube
complexes.
