Hi, I'm Alex Rasmussen. I am a fourth year PhD student in the math department at Yale University. My advisor is Yair Minsky.

In Thessaloniki.

I am interested in the following topics:

infinite type surfaces (analogs of the curve graph for infinite type surfaces, laminations on infinite type surfaces),
classifying and comparing the actions of a fixed group on different hyperbolic metric spaces,
relative hyperbolicity and other generalizations of hyperbolicity for groups and metric spaces

Papers:

Largest hyperbolic actions and quasi-parabolic actions in groups. With Carolyn Abbott. In preparation.
WWPD elements of big mapping class groups. In preparation.
Actions of solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups on hyperbolic metric spaces. With Carolyn Abbott. Preprint, 2019.
Uniform hyperbolicity of the graphs of nonseparating curves via bicorn curves. Preprint, 2017.
Specializations of generalized Rikuna polynomials. With Celeste Cass, John Cullinan, and Darko Trifunovski. International journal of number theory, 10:585-600, 2014.

Non-math interests: playing music (guitar and banjo), reading, tabletop games.
