Minimum Entropies of Braids in Topological Dynamics

Explore the mathematical concept of minimum entropies in braids during this research seminar presentation that examines how braids function as homeomorphisms of punctured discs. Learn how topological entropy quantifies the complexity of braid dynamics, with a particular focus on determining minimum entropy values for braids with fixed strand numbers. Delve into groundbreaking research conducted jointly with Xiangzhuo Zeng that addresses fundamental questions about the lower bounds of braid entropy in this Groups and Dynamics seminar hosted by the Institute for Advanced Study and Princeton University.
