It seems that it is a French thing to do to list stuff that students published either during their thesis or out of what they did during those pleasant and delightful years. A bit silly, if you ask me... and a bit funny, because it is not me who wrote those papers... but when in Rome... so, here is a link to that list of papers.

Master students (M2 at the Université Rennes)

• Cyril Lacoste, 2015. The topic was Dimension cohomologique virtuelle de SLnZ

• José Andrés Rodriguez Migueles, 2015. The topic was Mostow's Rigidity Theorem.

• Lucien Grillet, 2019. The topic was The Poincaré conjecture in higher dimensions. 

• Yulin Gong, 2020. The topic was Mostow's rigidity theorem (via BCG). 

• Marie Trin, 2021. The topic was Thurston's compactification of Teichmueller space via geodesic currents. 

• Thibault Favier, 2023. The topic was the failure of Teichmueller space to be CAT(0).

• Yago Moreno, 2023. The topic was the Benjamini-Schramm theorem on the recurrence of distributional limits of planar graphs. 

TER (M1)

• Mattis Chick and Christophe Martinez, "Construction des nombres p-adiques" (2023)

Other students with whom I have had something to do in the last years

• Tommaso Cremaschi, spent May and June 2016 in the framework of a GEAR Research Experiences of Graduate Students, and then came back another few times. We discussed mostly about the geometrization of infinite type 3-manifolds but we also wrote a short paper together. 

• James Farre, was also here in May and June 2017 in the framework of a GEAR Research Experiences of Graduate Students, we discussed (he taught me!) stuff about bounded cohomology and simplicial volume.

• Thi Hanh Vo spent some time talking to me in February of 2020. Then we continued talking and we are wrote this paper together.
