[Topology.beta] Factorizations, AG, DDT&G

[Rot, T.O. (Thomas)]

Dear all,

This Friday there is a factorization homology event at 15:00 in Utrecht. See for more details here https://sites.google.com/view/miguelbarata/seminars

Coming Tuesday (29th of october), we have an external speaker in the AG:

AG: 29-10-2024 Anna Fokma <https://uu.nl/medewerkers/SJFokma> : Jiggling: an h-principle without homotopical assumptions
In 1974 Thurston, in one of his many proofs on foliations, used a technique called jiggling. This shows that, given a distribution, any embedding is homotopic to a piecewise transverse embedding. I will discuss the key ideas in the proof of jiggling and how we can generalize jiggling to certain first order differential relations on bundles. This allows us to make statements about the topology of the space of (piecewise) solutions of such a relation. I will give examples as to how these statements compare to other so-called h-principles.

The DDT&G event dates for the spring semester have been set and we are talking with speakers right now to fill the slots. Maybe it is good to put these dates in your agenda.

The november edition of DDT&G is unfortunately not going to happen. The next DDT&G is

06-12-2024: location Utrecht: Luca Asselle <https://sites.google.com/site/lucaasselle/>

Luca will be around that week in Amsterdam. I’m sure his talk will be interesting to the dynamically inclined as well.

Best,
Thomas
