September 1
Phil Boyland,
Thurston's classification of isotopy classes of surface automorphisms.
Lecture 1: Introduction, the torus case
September 8
Phil Boyland,
Thurston's classification of isotopy classes of surface automorphisms.
Lecture 2: Sketch of proof and introduction to
Teichmüller space. (The
latter will be useful for my lectures in the Dynamics seminar
on the monotonicity of the dynamical entropy in the real quadratic
family.)

Taeil Yi,
Chaotic measure preserving homeomorphisms on manifolds.
Abstract. For all n-dimensional compact
manifolds X with
n > 1, the set of all chaotic measure-preserving homeomorphisms
on X is dense in the space of all measure-preserving
homeomorphisms. In the course of two talks I will give P. Touhey's
new definition of "chaotic" and the proof given in
an article by Aarts and Daalderop.
