DESCRIPTION:Paul Colognese (Warwick) will be speaking at this research se
 minar\, part of the Dynamical Systems and Analysis seminar series.  \n\n
 Abstract: Translation surfaces can be viewed as a collection of polygons
  in the plane\, where each edge is glued to another edge via a translati
 on. Such an identification yields a closed surface with a flat metric ex
 cept at a finite number of singularities. These singularities may be tho
 ught of as points of high negative curvature which motivates us to consi
 der which geometrical properties of negatively curved surfaces carry ove
 r to translation surfaces. In the first half of this talk I will give an
  overview of some initial results which test this analogy. This is joint
  work with Mark Pollicott\n\n
