Young Geometric Group Theory Meeting, Luminy

该提案将支持美国-基于与会者参加“青年几何群论”会议将在中心国际德Recontres数学（CIRM）在Luminy，法国于2014年1月20日至24日举行。 将有四位资深演讲者就基本主题进行小型课程，以及几位杰出的博士后就他们的工作进行简短的演讲。 迷你课程和简短的会谈将在中央几何群论的主题，但也将探讨与其他领域，包括动力学，逻辑，拓扑，代数几何和测量理论的连接。 深入的迷你课程的主题包括动力学和圆填充，双曲几何和扩张器，以及汤普森的群体。 较短的讲座将涵盖CAT（0）几何，双曲群，Teichmuller理论和当前感兴趣的其他领域的各种主题。几何群论是一个年轻而充满活力的数学领域，由国际研究人员共同研究。 大多数研讨会的与会者将是职业生涯早期的数学家;时间表的目的是最大限度地提高年轻研究人员之间的互动，以及让他们与该领域的领先专家延长接触。 会议的网址是：http://math.univ-lille1.fr/~kassel/yggt3.html

This proposal will support U.S.-based participants attending the ``Young Geometric Group Theory'' meeting to be held at the Centre International de Recontres Mathematiques (CIRM) at Luminy, France on January 20--24, 2014. There will be four senior speakers giving mini-courses on fundamental topics, as well as several outstanding postdocs giving short talks on their work. The mini-courses and short talks will be on subjects central to geometric group theory, but will also explore connections with other fields, including dynamics, logic, topology, algebraic geometry and measure theory. The topics of the in-depth mini-courses include dynamics and circle packings, hyperbolic geometry and expanders, and Thompson's groups. The shorter talks will cover various topics in CAT(0) geometry, hyperbolic groups, Teichmuller theory, and other areas of current interest.Geometric group theory is a young and dynamic field of mathematics, studied by an international community of researchers. Most of the workshop attendees will be early-career mathematicians; the schedule is designed to maximize the interactions among young researchers, as well as to give them extended contact with leading experts in the field.
