Who is Karen Vogtmann?
Karen Vogtmann is a U.S. mathematician working primarily in the area of geometric group theory. She is known for having introduced, in a 1986 paper with Marc Culler, an object now known as the Culler–Vogtmann Outer space. The Outer space is a free group analog of the Teichmüller space of a Riemann surface and is particularly useful in the study of the group of outer automorphisms of the free group on n generators, Out. Vogtmann is a Professor of Mathematics at Cornell University.
