Floer theory and hyperbolic geometry have revolutionized our understanding of three-dimensional topology in the past few decades. Despite this, uncovering mutual interactions between them (if any) remains an outstanding open problem in the field. In this talk, based on joint work with M. Lipnowski, Francesco Lin will discuss how techniques from spectral theory allow to make some first steps towards this goal.
