Math Outreach

Math Outreach

Perhaps the best part of an up and down 2017... Sarah and I established an endowment that will fund a math outreach program at The University of Texas at Austin. We were recently profiled in Texas Leader magazine about it.

    A happy couple, glad to see you in real life, Roice! Do you have the plan that have a baby and teach him/her all your math artwork stuff? :P. My wife just gave birth two weeks ago and now I'm thinking about this ....

    Liang Zhao, congratulations on your new addition! Sarah and I decided to not have children, but I am an uncle 11 times over and enjoy sharing mathematics with my nieces and nephews :)

Hyperbolic Hopf Fibrations

Hyperbolic Hopf Fibrations The Hopf Fibration of S^3 is amazing and beautiful.  Rather than describe it here, I'll point you to a lovely online reference with pictures and videos by Niles Johnson. nilesjohnson.net/hopf.html To understand it better (and fibrations in general), I recommend this talk by Niles too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXDQsmL-8Us It turns out there is an analogue of the Hopf fibration for H^3.  In fact, there is not just one "fiberwise homogenous" fibration in the hyperbolic case.  There is a 2-parameter family of them, plus one additional fibration that does not fit the family.  As with S^3, fibers in the H^3 cases are geodesics.  They are ultraparallel in fibrations from the family, and parallel in the exceptional fibration.  I found the following dissertation by Haggai Nuchi a good intro and resource to help think about all this. www.math.upenn.edu/grad/dissertations/NuchiThesis.pdf I'm posting three early pictures of H^3 fibrations below, labeled
