Speakers: Prof. Andrew Lobb, Durham University, UK, and Prof. Joshua Greene, Boston College, USA

Topic: Inscription Problems and Symplectic Geometry

About the Talk: Prof. Andrew Lobb and Prof. Joshua Greene are leading mathematicians whose work has made important contributions to several areas of geometry and topology. In this talk, they will discuss recent progress on classical inscription problems, including striking results showing that every smooth Jordan curve inscribes a rectangle similar to any prescribed rectangle, and more generally a cyclic quadrilateral similar to any prescribed cyclic quadrilateral. The talk will highlight the ideas behind these theorems and explain the connection to symplectic geometry. See the blog announcement of this talk for more details.
