Title: Hyperbolic correspondences
Abstract: In joint work with Dima Dudko and Kevin Pilgrim, we consider certain correspondences on a Riemann surface, and show that they admit a weak form of hyperbolicity: su?iciently long loops get shorter under lifting at a fixed point and closing. This applies in particular to the correspondences induced on Moduli space studied by Thurston, and lets us deduce: for any rational map on Cp with 4 post-critical points, there is a finite invariant collection of isotopy classes of curves into which every curve is attracted under repeated lifting. I will explain the theory behind all this: an encoding of maps and correspondences by an algebraic gadget called a "biset": a set with two commuting group actions.
