Graphs, surfaces, and cube complexes

Abstract: Simple closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces are related to different aspects of geometric and dynamical properties of moduli spaces and are known to have many remarkable properties. Among these is a result of Birman and Series which states that they form a nowhere dense subset on any closed hyperbolic surface. A particular focus point of the talk will be on joint work with Peter Buser on how to quantify this non-density.
