Title: Exact volume of hyperbolic 2-bridge links
Speaker: Abhijit Champanerkar
Abstract: We will use the technique developed by Thistlethwaite
and Tsvietkova to compute hyperbolic sructures from alternating
diagrams to study 2-bridge link complements. In this series of talks
we will review their technique, use it for 2-bridge link
diagrams. Later on we will review Sakuma-Weeks triangulation of
2-bridge link complements and see how we can modify
Thistlethwaite-Tsvietkova's technique to obtain tetrahedral parameters
from the diagrams. See the links below for the reference papers.
