2016 Redbud Geometry/Topology Conference

2016年紫荆几何/拓扑会议将于2016年4月1日至3日在俄克拉荷马州大学举行。会议将集中在几何群论和低维拓扑学的相关领域的主题。这次会议是一个正在进行的一系列会议的一部分，在阿肯色州和俄克拉荷马州的大学举行，旨在增加该地区的年轻和高级数学家之间的互动和合作。2016年紫荆几何/拓扑会议将集中讨论几何群论、类同态群以及曲面上曲线的几何和组合学等主题。受邀的演讲人有：Tarik Aougab（布朗大学）、大卫科恩（芝加哥大学）、托马斯科贝达（弗吉尼亚大学）、Kathryn Mann（加州大学伯克利分校）、Denis Osin（范德比尔特大学）、Piotr Przytycki（麦吉尔大学）、Jenya Sapir（伊利诺伊大学香槟分校）和Robert Young（纽约大学柯朗研究所）。会议以旨在增强研究生和初级研究人员经验的研讨会开始。研讨会将由Mann、Osin和Przytycki进行解释性演讲。会议网站：http://www.math.ou.edu/redbud/

The 2016 Redbud Geometry/Topology Conference will be held April 1-3, 2016 at the University of Oklahoma. The conference will focus on topics in geometric group theory and related areas in low-dimensional topology. This conference is part of an ongoing series of conferences held at universities in Arkansas and Oklahoma, intended to increase interaction and collaboration among young and senior mathematicians in the area. It will feature prominent speakers from across North America, as well as a graduate student workshop.The 2016 Redbud Geometry/Topology Conference will be centered on topics in geometric group theory, diffeomorphism groups, and the geometry and combinatorics of curves on surfaces. The invited speakers are Tarik Aougab (Brown University), David Cohen (University of Chicago), Thomas Koberda (University of Virginia), Kathryn Mann (University of California at Berkeley), Denis Osin (Vanderbilt University), Piotr Przytycki (McGill University), Jenya Sapir (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), and Robert Young (Courant Institute, NYU). The conference begins with a workshop designed to enhance the experience of graduate students and junior researchers. The workshop will feature expository talks by Mann, Osin, and Przytycki.Conference website: http://www.math.ou.edu/redbud/
