Dear Topologists,
Today we are very excited to have Adam Clay speaking with us. The seminar link is the same as last week (see below) and Adam's title and abstract are below.

Title: Virtual Circular orderings, 3-manifolds and covering spaces
Speaker: Adam Clay, University of Manitoba
Host: Jonathan Johnson
Abstract: The L-space conjecture states that for closed, orientable, irreducible 3-manifolds, the properties of being a Heegaard-Floer homology L-space, admitting a co-orientable taut foliation, and having a left-orderable fundamental group are equivalent. Motivated by the left-orderability aspect of this conjecture, I'll introduce circular orderings of groups, and introduce a "circular orderability version" of the L-space conjecture that brings covering spaces into the picture. I'll also discuss several new examples of fundamental groups of 3-manifolds that we know to be circularly orderable, ones that we know are not circularly orderable, and where to go from here. This talk represents joint work with Idrissa Ba.
Best,
Neil

Hello everyone,
Today Anastasiia Tsvietkova is speaking in the topology seminar. Here title and abstract are below and the zoom link is at the bottom of this email:
Title: Polynomially many genus g surfaces in a hyperbolic 3-manifold Speaker: Anastasiia Tsvietkova, Rutgers University, Newark
Date: Oct 19, 2021
Time: 3:00 PM
Room: Virtual meeting
Abstract: We will discuss a universal upper bound for the number of non-isotopic genus g surfaces embedded in a hyperbolic 3-manifold, polynomial in hyperbolic volume. The surfaces are all closed essential surfaces, oriented and connected. This is joint work with Marc Lackenby
Topic: Okstate Topology Seminar
Time: This is a recurring meeting Meet anytime

Hello everyone,
We have Topology seminar today at 3pm. Marissa Loving (Georgia Tech) will be speaking. Here title and abstract are below.
Title: End-periodic homeomorphisms and volumes of mapping tori
Speaker: Marissa Loving, Georgia Tech
Date: Oct 12, 2021
Time: 3:00 PM
Room: Virtual
Abstract: I will discuss volumes of mapping tori associated to irreducible end-periodic homeomorphisms of certain infinite-type surfaces, inspired by a theorem of Brock (in the finite-type setting) relating the volume of a mapping torus to the translation distance of its monodromy on the pants graph. This talk represents joint work with Elizabeth Field, Heejoung Kim, and Chris Leininger.
