The Ivanov conjecture is equivalent to the statement that every covering map of surfaces has the so-called Putman-Wieland property. I will discuss my recent work with Vlad Marković, where we prove it for asymptotically all coverings as the degree grows. I will give some overview of our main tool: spectral geometry, which is related to objects like the heat kernel of a hyperbolic surface, or Cheeger connectivity constant.
