Christopher-Lloyd SIMON (Penn State Universiry) : Simple geodesics in arithmetic surfaces

We will introduce Markov numbers through the lens of hyperbolic geometry and mapping class group dynamics. After revisiting the work and expositions of Harvey Cohn, Andrew Haas and Caroline Series from a topological viewpoint, we will combine this picture with mapping class group dynamics or modular form arithmetic to propose new results and conjectures.
