This project is aimed at supporting U.S.-based participants at the meeting "Young Geometric Group Theory VIII" to be held at the University of the Basque Country in Bilbao, Spain, from June 30th to July 5th, 2019. Geometric group theory is an active branch of mathematics that focuses on the interactions between the geometry and topology of mathematical spaces and the algebraic objects which capture their symmetries. As most of the participants will be graduate students and early-career mathematicians, the conference will help them learn about new developments in the field, communicate their research results, and spark new research collaborations. The conference will also promote the growing diversity that geometric group theory has enjoyed through the selection of its speakers and participants.This conference is the eighth meeting of the "Young Geometric Group Theory" series, which has been held each year since 2012. The meeting features four types of events that are designed to bring graduate students and postdocs together with early-career and well-established researchers in order to foster an environment of learning and collaboration. The events include mini courses given by four established experts in the field, plenary talks given by junior researchers, informal discussion sessions, and poster sessions and lightning talks given by graduate students. The mini courses allow graduate students and postdocs to learn cutting-edge methods in geometric group theory both from their peers and from experts. Topics range from expanders to geometric structures and representations of discrete groups. The junior talks are a way to publicize the work of young researchers and to obtain feedback and foster new collaborations.

该项目旨在支持美国-基于与会者在会议“年轻几何群理论八”将在巴斯克地区毕尔巴鄂大学举行，西班牙，从2019年6月30日至7月5日。几何群论是数学的一个活跃的分支，它主要研究数学空间的几何和拓扑以及捕捉它们的对称性的代数对象之间的相互作用。由于大多数参与者将是研究生和早期职业数学家，会议将帮助他们了解该领域的新发展，交流他们的研究成果，并引发新的研究合作。本次会议也将通过选择演讲者和参与者来促进几何群论日益增长的多样性。本次会议是自2012年以来每年举办的“青年几何群论”系列会议的第八次会议。会议设有四种类型的活动，旨在将研究生和博士后与早期职业和成熟的研究人员聚集在一起，以营造学习和协作的环境。这些活动包括该领域四位知名专家的小型课程，初级研究人员的全体会议，非正式讨论会，以及研究生的海报会议和闪电演讲。迷你课程允许研究生和博士后从同行和专家那里学习几何群论的前沿方法。主题范围从扩张器到几何结构和离散群的表示。青年讲座是宣传青年研究人员工作、获得反馈和促进新合作的一种方式。 会议的网站可以在www.example.com上找到https://sites.google.com/site/yggt2019bilbao.This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
