Conferences
I organize Groups and Geometry in the South East, together with Martin Bridson and Lars Louder. We have four meetings a year, with talks mainly of interest to group theorists, geometers and topologists.
Blogs
I sometimes write posts on the Low-dimensional topology blog. My posts so far are as follows.
- When are two hyperbolic 3-manifolds homeomorphic?
- ... or Agol's Theorem?
- Wise's Conjecture
- Mineyev and the Hanna Neumann Conjecture
- Virtually geometric words
- Homogeneous hyperbolic groups
- 3-manifold groups are known, right?
- Call for Tricki articles
- Surfaces in hyperbolic groups
- A course on Geometric Group Theory
- In Memoriam J. R. Stallings - Topology of Finite Graphs
Here are the notes, blogged by the students, for a course that I taught in the Spring semester of 2009 at the University of Texas.
In a related vein, I sometimes ask or answer questions on MathOverflow and math.stackexchange.com.
Exposition
I wrote a piece about geometric group theory for the Fall 2016 edition of Emissary magazine.
Notes
- Non-positively curved cube complexes. These are the notes for a course that I taught in the Winter term of 2011 at Caltech.
- In the autumn of 2007 I visited the MSRI for their Geometric Group Theory programme. Lars Louder and I took notes on Zlil Sela's course on definable sets in free groups. In their current, incomplete state they can be found here.
- My notes on the Rips machine, closely based on Misha Kapovich's book.
- My Part III essay on The Geometrization Conjecture
