Triangle groups: From Hilbert modular varieties to complex dynamics

Abstract

Zoom Link

We will discuss the reflection groups associated to hyperbolic triangles from a variety of perspectives:  the arithmetic of
their cusps; totally geodesic curves on Hilbert modular surfaces; and Minkowski's question mark function.  The latter
arises when triangle groups are mated with polynomials, to produce fractals and dynamical systems on the Riemann sphere.
