Volume & Bounded Cohomology II: Measured homology and Thurston's Proof of Mostow rigidity.
Abstract: Continuing from last time, where we introduced the Gromov norm on homology, we will introduce an alternate definition, characterize the Gromov norm of a hyperbolic manifold in terms of volume, and use this to prove Moscow rigidity for hyperbolic manifolds. References for this talk are the same as the previous week's.
