Part III Essay: Displaceability of Lagrangian Toric Fibres

Supervised by Jack Smith (DPMMS, Cambridge). Exposition of main results of two papers by Dusa McDuff and Miguel Abreu & Leonardo Macarini showing methods to show respectively the displaceability or non-displaceability of the fibres. I found some new examples of applications of the method of Abreu and Macarini, showing that the phenomena they observed in two dimensions also take place in three dimensions.

Essay: Groups Acting on Trees

Set by Henry Wilton (DPMMS, Cambridge). An exposition of Bass-Serre theory, mostly following Serre’s “Trees”.

Talk: Beatty’s Theorem via Cutting Sequences

This talk is about cutting sequences, presenting a geometrical proof of Beatty’s Theorem, and also discussing the Fibonacci word and Wythoff’s game. It’s based on chapter 2 of S. Tabachnikov’s Geometry and Billiards.
I’ve presented it twice: once at my school, and once as an online talk at the Archimedeans (the Cambridge student maths society).
