Title: Homology growth, hyperbolization, and fibering.
Abstract: In this talk I will describe how a classical conjecture of Hopf about the sign of the Euler characteristic of non-positively curved manifolds leads to the construction of odd, Gromov hyperbolic manifolds that do not virtually fiber over a circle. Joint work with Boris Okun and Kevin Schreve.
