Conference on Geometric and Asymptotic Group Theory with Applications

该奖项支持参加会议“几何和渐近群理论与应用”，在霍博肯，新泽西举行的6月13日至17日，2016.该活动将群论和计算机科学的各个分支的人们聚集在一起，共同研究该领域的许多开放问题中的一些问题，这些问题现在正在从新鲜和有前途的角度进行研究;它将进一步加强该领域与其他数学分支的联系。该活动包括一系列关于该主题的高级迷你课程，以便向该领域的新研究人员提供材料，并讨论未来进展和成果的前景和总体方向。组织者致力于提高妇女在各级职业中的知名度，并专门为妇女发言者安排了一天的会议。会议致力于群论的发展，重点是群和群作用以及其他以群或群作用为主要工具的数学领域。该计划涵盖了现代群论的许多分支，优先考虑几何，渐近和组合群论，群作用动力学，概率和分析方法，遍历理论和算子代数的相互作用以及其他相关领域。更多信息可在会议网站http://web.stevens.edu/algebraic/GAGTA2016/index.htm上找到

This award supports participation in the conference "Geometric and Asymptotic Group Theory with Applications,'' held in Hoboken, New Jersey on June 13-17, 2016. The event brings people from various branches of group theory and computer science together to work on some of the many open questions in the field that are now being studied from fresh and promising perspectives; it will further strengthen the connections the field has to other branches of mathematics. The event includes a series of advanced-level mini courses on the subject matter so as to make the material available to new researchers in the field, and to discuss the perspectives and general directions for the next advances and results. The organizers are committed to increasing the visibility of women at all levels of the profession and have dedicated one of the conference days exclusively for women speakers.The conference is devoted to developments in group theory focusing on groups and group actions as well as other areas of mathematics in which groups or group actions are used as a main tool. The program covers many branches of modern group theory with preference given to geometric, asymptotic, and combinatorial group theory, dynamics of group actions, probabilistic and analytic methods, interaction with ergodic theory and operator algebras, and other related fields.
