Hi,

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

AG: 29-10-2024 11:00 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.

Coming Friday is also full of events, see the email of Alba.

Best,
Thomas
