Young Geometric Group Theory Meeting VI

该奖项是资助美国的初级研究人员参加会议，青年几何群论会议六，将在牛津大学的数学研究所在英格兰，20-24三月2017举行。 几何群论是一个活跃的数学领域，涉及群（代数结构捕获对称性）和几何和拓扑（空间的定量和定性研究）之间的相互作用。 大多数与会者将是研究生和早期职业数学家。 会议将使他们能够了解该领域的新发展，交流他们的研究成果，并激发新的研究合作。 几何群论享有越来越多的多样性，本次会议旨在通过选择发言者和其他参与者进一步促进。 资金将用于支付15名美国与会者的差旅费和当地住房费用，其中包括一些发言人。 该会议是自2012年以来每年举行的“Young Geometric Group Theory”会议的第六次迭代。它将有三种主要类型的活动：由该领域的五位知名专家提供的小型课程，非正式讨论会，以及由几何群论的初级研究人员提供的研究讲座。 迷你课程将允许研究生和博士后从他们的同行和专家那里学习几何群论的前沿方法。这些讲座宣传初级研究人员的工作，并提供反馈。 迷你课程和演讲者的选择将反映几何群论研究的各种当前关键方向，包括群同调和稳定性，非C^*-精确群，几何结构，表示簇的紧化和非阿基米德几何。更多信息请访问http://www.personal.rhul.ac.uk/udah/001/YGGTVI.htm

This award is to fund US-based junior researchers to attend a conference, Young Geometric Group Theory Meeting VI, to be held at Oxford University's Mathematical Institute in England, 20-24 March 2017. Geometric group theory is an active mathematical field that concerns the interplay between groups (algebraic structures capturing symmetries) and geometry and topology (the quantitative and qualitative studies of spaces). Most of the conference participants will be graduate students and early-career mathematicians. The conference will allow them to learn about new developments in the field, to communicate their research results, and to spark new research collaborations. Geometric group theory enjoys a growing diversity, which this conference aims to promote further through the selection of the speakers and other participants. Funds will cover travel and local housing expenses of 15 US-based conference participants, including some speakers. The conference is the sixth iteration of the "Young Geometric Group Theory" meetings, which have been held every year since 2012. It will have three main types of events: mini-courses given by five established experts in the field, informal discussion sessions, and research talks given by junior researchers in geometric group theory. The mini-courses will allow graduate students and postdocs to learn cutting-edge methods in geometric group theory both from their peers and from experts. The talks publicize the work of junior researchers and provide feedback. The selection of mini-courses and speakers will reflect various current key directions of research in geometric group theory, including group homology and stability, non C^*-exact groups, and geometric structures, compactifications of representation varieties and non-archimedean geometry.
