"Poincaré's work on topology"

We will discuss some of Poincare's remarkable seminal and fundamental contributions to topology, its huge impact on subsequent research and open problems flowing from it.

On the topology of ending laminations space

The Ending lamination space is a naturally defined space associated to a surface of negative Euler characteristic that is important in hyperbolic geometry and geometric group theory. We will discuss recent progress towards characterizing the topology of these beautiful and mysterious spaces.
