Conference: Geometry, groups and 3-manifolds

“群、几何和三种流形”会议将于5月21日至22日在加州大学伯克利分校举行。本次会议将汇聚多位“瑟斯敦”三流形拓扑学及相关领域的专家，讨论他们的最新研究成果，并讨论该课题可能的发展方向。除了演讲者，这笔赠款还将资助一些主要是本科生机构的教员以及早期职业研究人员的参与。虚拟哈肯猜想和阿戈尔的虚拟纤维猜想的证明将三维流形的研究推向了一个令人兴奋的新阶段。尽管这些核心问题已经得到解决，但仍有许多令人振奋的方向需要追求。在这次会议上，该领域的专家将就以下主题进行演讲：三维流形中的随机方法，几何结构的变形，三维流形中的算法方法，Dehn手术和所有三流形的空间，以及双曲几何。与会者还将被要求对瑟斯敦几何和拓扑学的新问题列表做出贡献，该问题列表将在会议网站上发布：https://sites.google.com/site/groupsgeometry3manifolds/

The conference "Groups, Geometry, and Three-manifolds" will be held May 21-22 at the University of California in Berkeley, California. This conference will bring together a number of experts in "Thurstonian" three-manifold topology and related areas to discuss their latest research, as well as to talk about where the subject may be headed. In addition to the speakers, the grant will fund the participation of a number of faculty at primarily undergraduate institutions, as well as early career researchers.The proofs of the virtual Haken conjecture and the virtual fibering conjecture by Agol have moved the study of three-manifolds into an exciting new stage. Although these central problems have been resolved, there remain many exciting directions to pursue. At this conference experts in the field will give talks on topics such as: random methods in three-manifolds, deformations of geometric structures, algorithmic methods in three-manifolds, Dehn surgery and the space of all three-manifolds, and hyperbolic geometry. Participants will also be asked to contribute to a new problem list in Thurstonian geometry and topology, and this problem list will be published on the conference website: https://sites.google.com/site/groupsgeometry3manifolds/
