| Research Abstract |
I studied the group of interval exchange transformations, IET. In a joint work with Guirardel and Dahmani, we proved many new results including that any subgroup in IET that is isomorphic to a Lie group is abelian. This is an unexpected result. I also studied the Funk metric on Teichmuller space, and obtained a number of interesting results. My study shows that the Funk metric on Teichmuller space is very different from the original Funk metric for a convex domain in a Euclidean space, and opened a new direction of the study on the Funk metric on a space which has negative curvature.
