4. Technical Presentation

Craig Kaplan	Title : An introduction to orbifolds Abstract: Orbifolds are an elegant, intuitive and practical way to think about the symmetries of patterns. In this talk I'll explain what an orbifold is, how simple symmetry groups can be described based on their orbifold structures, and how they can be used to derive facts about symmetry groups and tilings.
