Watch a 58-minute conference talk delivered by Monika Kudlinska from the University of Oxford exploring analogues of the Thurston norm in groups as part of a broader conference on hyperbolic geometry and hyperbolic group theory. Delve into recent developments in hyperbolic geometry, examining the relationships between manifolds, submanifolds, and fundamental groups. The presentation was given at the Instituto de Matemática Pura e Aplicada in Rio de Janeiro during a conference organized in partnership with the Clay Mathematics Institute and the NSF, featuring renowned speakers discussing topics ranging from hyperbolic manifolds and smooth structures to complex Morse theory and geometric group theory.
