Universal circles and Zippers (1) (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
If M is a hyperbolic 3-manifold fibering over the circle, then the fundamental group of M acts faithfully by homeomorphisms on a circle—the circle at infinity of the universal cover of the fiber—preserving a pair of invariant (stable and unstable) laminations. Many different kinds of dynamical structures including taut foliations and quasigeodesic or pseudo-Anosov flows are known to give rise to universal circles—a circle with a faithful action of the fundamental group preserving a pair of invariant laminations—and those universal circles play a key role in relating the dynamical structure to the geometry of M. In these two talks, I will introduce the idea of *zippers*, which give a new and direct way to construct universal circles, streamlining the known constructions in many cases, and giving a host of new constructions in others. In particular, zippers—and their associated universal circles—may be constructed directly from homological objects (uniform quasimorphisms), causal structures (uniform left orders), and many other structures. This is joint work with Ino Loukidou.
