However\, extending this theory to non-compact surfaces of infinite type remains an elusive goal. The complexity arises from the behavior of curves on surfaces with infinite type\, which can bec ome increasingly intricate with each iteration of a homeomorphism. To addr ess some of the challenges\, we introduce the notion of tame maps\, a clas s of homeomorphisms that exhibit non-mixing dynamics. In this talk\, I wil l present some recent progress on extending the classification theory to s uch maps. \n\nThis is joint work with Mladen Bestvina and Federica Fanoni. \n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/GaTO/126/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
