Abstract: Nilmanifolds admitting Anosov automorphisms play an important role in the theory of dynamical systems. These nilmanifolds correspond to Anosov Lie algebras of which few examples were known. We will discuss a combinatorial method using graphs of constructing Anosov Lie algebras. We will also describe some recent examples constructed using algebraic number theory.
This talk will be accessible to graduate students.
