Rigidity Phenomena for Surface Amalgams

Yandi Wu ⟨yandi.wu@rice.edu⟩

Abstract:

Geometric rigidity theory aims to determine a geometric object with the smallest amount of data possible. For instance, one could ask whether the volume or length set of a manifold determines its metric. In this talk, I will motivate and present some results related to length spectrum and volume rigidity for negatively curved surface amalgams, natural generalizations of negatively curved surfaces.
