Flows and Thurston’s norm: Fibered faces

Abstract

I will survey the theory of fibered faces via flows, a rich picture developed by Thurston, Fried, Mosher, McMullen, and others. This will allow us to touch on the Thurston norm, pseudo-Anosov flows, automorphisms of surfaces (finite and infinite type), taut foliations, and perhaps polynomial invariants, depending on time.
