2019 Redbud Geometry/Topology Conference

2019年Redbud几何/拓扑学大会将于2019年4月26-28日在俄克拉荷马大学举行。会议将集中讨论几何群论的主题。这次会议是在阿肯色州和俄克拉何马州的大学举行的一系列会议的一部分，旨在加强该地区早期职业和高级数学家之间的互动和合作。它将有来自北美各地的知名演讲者参加，以及研究生研讨会。2019年Redbud几何/拓扑学会议将集中讨论关于映射类群曲面和CAT(0)立方体复形的主题，以及它们在群论和拓扑学中的应用。被邀请的演讲者是Juliette Bavard(雷恩大学)、Mladen Bestvina(犹他大学)、Michelle Chu(加州大学圣巴巴拉分校)、黄景音(俄亥俄州立大学)、Kasia Jankiewicz(芝加哥大学)、Daniel Margalit(佐治亚理工学院)、Andrew Putman(圣母大学)、Yulan庆(多伦多大学)和Balazs Strenner(佐治亚理工学院)。会议首先举办了一个研讨会，旨在提高研究生和初级研究人员的体验。研讨会将由Bestvina、Huang和Putman进行说明性演讲。会议网站：http://www.math.ou.edu/redbud/This奖反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 2019 Redbud Geometry/Topology Conference will be held April 26-28, 2019 at the University of Oklahoma. The conference will focus on topics in geometric group theory. This conference is part of an ongoing series of conferences held at universities in Arkansas and Oklahoma, intended to increase interaction and collaboration among early career and senior mathematicians in the area. It will feature prominent speakers from across North America, as well as a graduate student workshop. The 2019 Redbud Geometry/Topology Conference will be centered on topics concerning mapping class groups of surfaces and CAT(0) cube complexes, and their applications to group theory and topology. The invited speakers are Juliette Bavard (Universite de Rennes), Mladen Bestvina (University of Utah), Michelle Chu (UC Santa Barbara), Jingyin Huang (Ohio State University), Kasia Jankiewicz (University of Chicago), Daniel Margalit (Georgia Tech), Andrew Putman (University of Notre Dame), Yulan Qing (University of Toronto), and Balazs Strenner (Georgia Tech). The conference begins with a workshop designed to enhance the experience of graduate students and junior researchers. The workshop will feature expository talks by Bestvina, Huang, and Putman.
