 Alex Wright (University of Chicago)Arithmetic and Non-Arithmetic Teichmüller CurvesAbstract: Teichmüller curves are isometrically immersed curves in the moduli space of Riemann surfaces. Their study lies at the intersection of dynamics, Teichmüller theory, and algebraic geometry. I will begin by summarizing known results on Teichmüller curves, pointing out some similarities to the study of lattices, for example in PU(n,1). I will then move on to new research involving abelian square-tiled surfaces, Schwarz triangle mappings, and the Veech-Ward-Bouw-Moller Teichmüller curves.
