Algebraic Structures in Topology: Distinguished Lecture Series Lecture Series: May 2-3 2025, UPR-RP, Anfiteatro CN-142. Colloquium: May 5, 2025, 3:30- 4:30pm, UPR Mayagüez, Monzon 201 This event is part of the Algebraic structures in topology conference series sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Speaker Laurentiu Maxim (Professor, University of Wisconsin, Madison) Lecture Series Title: A guided introduction to intersection homology and applications Intersection homology was introduced by Goresky and MacPherson in order to recover some of the classical results and properties of manifolds (like Poincare duality, Lefschetz type theorems and Hodge theory for complex manifolds) in the context of singular…

More or less a bounded curve is rectifiable iff it has length. There is a criterion to determine if a curve is rectifiable involving the Jones β number.What is it? What are some examples of the β numbers of the coastline? Does any of this help us understand or control coastline erosion? While we will not exactly answer these questions we will explain what all these terms mean. Hopefully we will encourage everyone to learn more geometric measure theory! This will be a purely expository talk. But the speaker is always willing to talk (offline) about his related research.
