| Nov 10, 2009 at 5:21 | comment | added | Sam Nead | Well, I am probably misunderstanding things, but at least the last page seems directly related to the question asked, while the entire second half of the lecture is developing the asked-for analogy. | |
| Nov 10, 2009 at 4:55 | comment | added | Andy Putman | Continued. McMullen's purpose is to motivate some aspects of Faltings's proof of the Mordell conjecture using Bers's proof of Thurston's theorem. The last section contains a couple of paragraphs on the "analogy" between 3-manifolds and number theory, but that is incidental to the rest of the paper. | |
| Nov 10, 2009 at 4:51 | comment | added | Andy Putman | McMullen's lecture (which is based on his inspiring paper "From dynamics on surfaces to rational points on curves", available here : math.harvard.edu/~ctm/papers/home/text/papers/fermat/fermat.pdf) is about something entirely different. The theorem of Thurston he refers to is Thurston's classification of mapping classes (see here : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nielsen-Thurston_classification), not his geometrization conjecture. | |
