MATH Seminar: “Constructions of Lefschetz Fibrations Using Cyclic Group Actions,” Nur Sağlam (University of California-Riverside), SA-141, 1:40PM March 26 (EN)

Dear Colleagues and Students,

You are cordially invited to the Department of Mathematics Seminar.

Speaker: Nur Sağlam (University of California Riverside)

“Constructions of Lefschetz fibrations using cyclic group actions”

Abstract: We construct families of Lefschetz fibrations over S2 using finite order cyclic group actions on the product manifolds ΣgxΣg for g >0. We also obtain more families of Lefschetz fibrations by applying the rational blow-down operation to these Lefschetz fibrations. This is joint work with Anar Akhmedov.
