Title: Finite simple quotients of mapping class groups

Time and place: 4pm Friday 25 May 2018, Weatherburn LT

Abstract: A natural approach to studying an infinite group is to try to understand its finite quotients (or non-quotients). We discuss the introduction of some new techniques to determine non-quotients in the particular case of the surface mapping class groups, however they apply much more generally. This is joint work with Dawid Kielak.

Past and future seminars may be found at http://www.maths.uwa.edu.au/~glasby/GroupsAndCombinatoricsSeminar/S18.html

There will be cake in the Mathematics and Statistics tea room at 15:40. The seminar starts at 16:00, and after 17:05 we go to the UniClub for a drink.

All welcome.
