Workshop on "Teichmüller theory and surfaces in 3-manifolds"

Constructing surface subgroups in locally symmetric spaces.

speaker: Ursula Hamenstädt (Universität Bonn)

abstract: We give a geometric version of a construction of Kahn and Markovic of surface subgroups in cocompact lattices in $SL(2,C)$. We use this to extend the construction to cocompact lattices in rank one Lie groups and explain its significance to an understanding of the mapping class group of a closed surface of genus at least two.
