Event description:
I will give a colorful computer demonstration of my recent
solution to the Moser-Neumann problem: Outer billiards has
unbounded orbits when defined relative to any irrational kite.
Along the way, I’ll relate outer billiards to such topics as
polytope exchange maps, quasicrystals, and the modular group.
Special note:
Note different day and time!
