Richard Canary

Richard Canary is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on hyperbolic geometry, geometric group theory, and low-dimensional topology, with notable contributions to the study of hyperbolic 3-manifolds, Kleinian groups, and Anosov representations. He has delivered lectures such as 'Non-Euclidean Sports and the Geometry of Surfaces' in 2008, illustrating the intersection of geometry and physics. His recent work explores themes like Patterson-Sullivan measures, pressure metrics, and entropy rigidity in contexts involving Hitchin components and deformation spaces. He actively participates in academic conferences and workshops, contributing to the advancement of geometric structures and dynamics.
