10:00 | 林剑锋 (清华大学) | In this talk, we will sketch an argument that if two lens space become diffeomorphic after taking product with a circle, then themselves must be diffeomorphic. This follows from a result by Atiyah-Bott and Milnor. |
10:45-11:30 |

| 题目： | A brief introduction to the topological classification of 4-manifolds and related topics II |
| 摘要： | I will give a brief introduction to the topological classification of 4-manifolds (simply-connceted, finite and infinite cyclic fundamental group) and the computation of the pseudo isotopy classes of diffeomorphisms. |

| 题目： | The geography and botany problem of simply-connected smooth 4-manifolds II |
| 摘要： | Since the ground breaking work of Donaldson in the 1980s, gauge theory has been a powerful tool to understand smooth structures on 4-manifolds. In this talk, we will discuss some of the important developments in the past 40 years. The focus will be the following two questions: (1) Which simply-connected topological 4-manifolds admit an (irreducible) smooth structure? (2) Which simply-connected smooth 4-manifolds admit exotic smooth structures? This talk will not assume any prior knowledge about gauge theory or 4-dimensional topology. |

| 题目： | Group actions on hyperbolic spaces II |
| 摘要： | In last 30 years, studying groups via interesting actions on hyperbolic spaces has been proven fruitful in the field of Geometric Group Theory. In this talk, I will explain how this approach works in two exmples -- solving Burnside's problem and finiteness of asymptotic dimension of mapping class groups. These are based on the rotating family theory ( Delzant-Gromov, Coulon, Dahmani-Guirardell-Osin), and the projection complex machinary (Bestvina-Bromberg-Fujiwara). |

| 题目： | On cobordism of automorphisms of surfaces |
| 摘要： | I will give a brief introduction of the cobordism group of automorphisms of closed oriented surfaces and some related results. |

| 题目： | Some results on hyperbolic geometry |
| 摘要： | In this talk, I will first survey some examples and results on hyperbolic 3-manifolds, and then I will talk about similar questions on higher dimensional hyperbolic manifolds, in particular, on the existence of hyperbolic Coxeter polytopes. This will involve joint work with Fangting Zheng. |

| 题目： | Contact structures on 3-manifold |
| 摘要： | In this talk, I will survey the main ingredients of the 3-dimensional contact topology: convex surfaces, Legendrian and transverse knots, contact surgery, open book decompositions and symplectic fillings. |

| 题目： | Convexity of length functions on Teichmuller space |
| 摘要： | We talk about the convexity of length functions on Teichmuller space as given by Bestvina-Bromberg-Fujiwara-Souto in their paper Shearing coordinates and convexity of length functions on Teichmuller space (Amer. J. Math., 2013). |

| 题目： | Dehn-Fried-Goodman surgeries of Anosov flows on 3-manifolds |
| 摘要： | Dehn-Fried-Goodman (abbreviated as DFG) surgery is a type of `dynamical’ Dehn surgery, which is used to construct new Anosov flow from old one. DFG surgery plays an important role in the study of Anosov flows on 3-manifolds. In this talk, we will introduce some results and questions related to DFG surgeries of Anosov flows on 3-manifolds. |

| 题目： | Veering triangulations, Branched surfaces and Pseudo-Anosov flows-I |
| 摘要： | In this talk, we will introduce the main idea of building an ideal triangulation (veering triangulation) of a mapping torus of a pseudo-Anosov map punctured along the singular fibers, due to Agol 2011. |

| 题目： | Complex hyperbolic geometry |
| 摘要： | Complex hyperbolic geometry is a cousin of real hyperbolic geometry, but we know very few about it. We will survey some questions in this area and talk about some methods to show a group acts discretely on complex hyperbolic space. |

| 题目： | Topological and Smooth Knot Concordance II |
| 摘要： | A cobordism between knots is called a concordance if its genus is zero. We will review some related notions and survey a few classical results in this area by Fox-Milnor, Levine and Casson-Gordon. Then the difference between smooth and topological categories will be discussed. We will also introduce concordance problems about algebraic knots. |
