Title:
Geometric structures, Gromov norm and Kodaira dimensions

Speaker:
Weiyi Zhang

Abstract:
Kodaira dimension provides a very successful classification scheme for complex manifolds. The notion was extended to symplectic 4-manifolds. In this talk, we will define the Kodaira dimension for 3-manifolds through Thurston's eight geometries. This is compatible with other Kodaira dimensions in the sense of "additivity". We will then explore the relations of geometric structures and mapping orders with various Kodaira dimensions and other invariants like Gromov norm. (1 hour long talk)
