DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/GeomDyn/9/">
 Kissing numbers of manifolds and graphs</a>\nby Maxime Fortier-Bourque (Un
 iversity of Glasgow) as part of Séminaire de géométrie et dynamique\n\n
 \nAbstract\nThe kissing number of a metric space X is defined as the numbe
 r of distinct homotopy classes of shortest closed geodesics in X. We are i
 nterested in how large the kissing number can get within certain families 
 of metric spaces. This problem has been studied for flat tori and hyperbol
 ic surfaces before. I will discuss joint work with Bram Petri where we obt
 ain upper bounds for the kissing number of closed hyperbolic manifolds of 
 any dimension and of regular graphs.\n
