Cat Wilson, Graduate Student Career Development Advisor from Career Services, will join us to briefly introduce herself. Afterwards, there will be an informal workshop on application materials (CV, resume, website, etc). Note: Cat will not stay for this part of the seminar. Use this time to seek feedback from peers. We will share tips, templates, and discuss any other relevant topics.

Smale spaces are a class of dynamical system defined by Ruelle to axiomatize properties of the basic sets of an Axiom A diffeomorphism. I will introduce Smale spaces by presenting three natural examples in detail. From a Smale space one can construct a number of C*-algebras; each is obtained from an equivalence relation. These algebras will be discussed both in general and in the three aforementioned examples. Much of this talk is based on Ian Putnam's paper "C*-algebras from Smale spaces".
