Professor Marta Mazzocco (University of Birmingham) will speak at the IMTECH Colloquium on Wednesday February 8 at 15h30 at Sala d’actes de la Facultat de Matemàtiques i Estadística (FME). Professor Mazzocco is Professor of Mathematics at University of Birmingham (UoB). She holds a PhD in Mathematical Physics from the International School of Advanced Studies (SISSA,
(School of Mathematics, Birmingham). Received on 8/2/2023. In this note we will introduce the concept of character variety in the simple example of a torus with one disk removed. We will show how this is a surface in C^{3} defined by a cubic polynomial, called the Markov cubic. We will show the relation between the
