seminar: Quantum theory of flat PSL(2,R)-connections on punctured surfaces
speaker: Rinat Kashaev (Universite de Genève)abstract: The moduli space of flat PSl(2,R)-connections on a punctured surface contains the Teichmuller space as a connected component. A quantization of this moduli space, based on extended Penner coordinates, leads to a projective unitary representation of the mapping class group of the surface, and, unlike the quantum Teichmuller theory, the holonomy trace operator admits also a discrete spectrum.
