Temple University's Geometry/Topology research group specializes in connections between low-dimensional topology, hyperbolic geometry, arithmetic groups, and geometric group theory.

Members of the group:

  • Andrew Clickard, Graduate Student
  • David Futer, Professor, Director of Graduate Studies
  • Ross Griebenow, Graduate Student
  • Leah Leiner, Graduate Student
  • Ruth Meadow-Macleod, Graduate Student
  • Rob Oakley, Graduate Student
  • Igor Rivin, Professor
  • Matthew Stover, Associate Professor
  • Samuel J. Taylor, Associate Professor
  • Brandis Whitfield, Graduate Student

The Geometry/Topology group is active in a variety of research areas including:

  • hyperbolic geometry: Kleinian groups, Teichmueller theory
  • geometric group theory: cubical geometry, hyperbolic groups and generalizations, mapping class groups
  • dynamics: homogeneous dynamics, random walks, flows on 3-manifolds
  • low dimensional topology: knot theory, triangulations
  • arithmetic manifolds
