The Geometry of Mobius Transformations
June 5 - 23, 2006 Applications for this program are no longer being accepted. Organizers: Jason Behrstock & Dan Margalit We will explore the theory of groups generated by Mobius transformations of the Riemann sphere. This field has its roots in the work of Felix Klein in the nineteenth century. With the aid of computer visualization, mathematicians have gained new insight into these groups and their fractal limit sets. We intend to pursue the historical development of this area, from Klein to present. For those interested, there will be ample opportunity to create computer models as a supplement to the theoretical material. Only US citizens, nationals, or permanent residents are eligible for funding. Funded participants with receive a $1,000 stipend and up to $250 for travel expenses (if living out-of-state). |
