Description
We'll describe some ongoing discussions and visuals around a beautiful example of Francois Ledrappier, known as the 3-dots example. We'll explain the connection between this example and Laurent series over finite fields, which we learned from Doug Lind, and explain some ongoing work on understanding periodic objects with Aaron Abrams, Edmund Harriss, and Glen Whitney.
