Constructing entire functions by QC folding , Dynamics Learning Seminar, Stony Brook, March 28, 2012. I describe some of the results in the preprint of the same title. We construct entire functions with finite or bounded singular sets using quasiconformal maps of a half-plane into itself that I call ``foldings''. One applciation that I will desribe carefully is the construction of a entire function with bounded singular set that has a wandering domain. This has been open since the 1980's when Sullivan's proof for rational functions was extended to enite functions with finite singular set.

An A_1 weight not comparable to any QC Jacobian , Memorial Conference for Juha Heinonen, Ann Arbor, May 12-16, 2008. 12 pages. We sketch the proof of the claim in the title. The idea is to construct a Sierpinsky carpet with the property that that certain QC images must contain a rectifiable curve. As a corollary, we show that that there is a surface in R^3 that is quasisymmetrically equivalent to the plane, but not biLipschitz equivalent.

The following three files are talks on the same subject but with a slightly different emphasis and organization in each one. Many pages are simply figures which I explain in the talk; if you need further explaination, you can refer to my preprint of the same name, or email me.
