14:00 - 15:30 Geometry and Topology Seminar On Thurston's Euler class one conjecture School MATHEMATICS In 1976, Thurston proved that taut foliations on closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds have Euler class of norm at most one, and conjectured that, conversely, any Euler class with norm equal to one is Euler class of a taut foliation. We construct counterexamples to this conjecture and suggest an alternative conjecture. ... |
