We prove that when M is orientable and has non-empty boundary\, B Diff(M rel ∂M) has the homotopy type of a finite CW-complex. This was conjectured by Kontsevich and previously proved in the case where M is irreducible by Hatcher and McCullough. The theory we develop to prov e this theorem has other applications\, and I’ll provide an overview of th ese.\n\n \n DTSTART:20250723T190000Z DTEND:20250723T200000Z LOCATION:Room 1104\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Rachael Boyd (University of Glasgow) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/rachael-boyd-university-g lasgow-366072 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
