    A tensorial description of the Turaev cobracket on genus 0 compact surfaces

    We give a complete tensorial description of the Turaev cobracket on genus 0 compact surfaces with respect to the standard group-like expansion. There the Bernoulli numbers appear twice: one appearance comes from the tensorial description of the homotopy intersection form given by Massuyeau and Turaev, and the other from a geometric lemma given by Fukuhara, Kuno and the speaker. The result seems to suggest some relation between the Turaev cobracket and the Kashiwara-Vergne problem in the formulation by Alekseev and Torossian.

    Finite rigidity for curve complexes

    A celebrated theorem of Ivanov, extended by Korkmaz and Luo, states that the curve complex C(S) of a surface is "simplicially rigid": every automorphism of C(S) is, except in a few well-understood cases, induced by an element of the mapping class group Mod(S). In this talk we will give a construction, for every surface S, of a finite subcomplex X(S) of C(S) that is also "rigid", in the sense that every injection of X(S) into C(S) is the restriction of an element of Mod(S). These finite rigid sets enjoy some curious properties; for instance, in the case of S a sphere with punctures, X(S) happens to coincide with the generator for the homology of C(S) identified by Birman-Broaddus-Menasco. We will then explain how to express C(S) as an increasing union of finite rigid sets, thus offering a new proof of the theorem of Ivanov-Korkmaz-Luo. Time permitting, we will describe an alternate proof of this latter result, due to Jesus Hernandez, which has interesting consequences to the rigidity of self-maps of C(S).

    On the geometry of the flip graph

    The flip graph of an orientable punctured surface is the graph whose vertices are the ideal triangulations of the surface (up to isotopy) and whose edges correspond to flips. Its combinatorics is crucial in works of Thurston and Penner's decorated Teichmuller theory. In this talk we will explore some geometric properties of this graph, in particular we will see that it provides a coarse model of the mapping class group in which the mapping class groups of some subsurfaces are strongly convex. We will also establish some bounds on the growth of the diameter of the ip graph modulo the mapping class group, extending a result of Sleator-Tarjan-Thurston. This is a joint work with Hugo Parlier.
