International Workshop on Quasi-Isometries and Groups: Rigidity and Classification

该项目支持美国数学家参加将于2019年9月9日至9月14日在意大利文顿丁举行的“准等距与群：刚性与分类”研讨会。讲习班的一个主要目标是培训和支持粗几何和准等距领域的下一代数学家。这次会议将有助于教育研究生和新近的博士了解该领域的最新发展。会议将向初级数学家介绍几何群论的各种主题，并将他们带入研究的前沿。会议的一部分将致力于三个迷你课程，由专家讲授，他们也以讲授启发性讲座的能力而闻名。在开设微型课程的同时，还将举行研究讲座。主办方将促使演讲者将他们的演讲面向广大数学家。大部分资金将支持来自美国的初级参与者。组委会将鼓励和支持广泛和多样化的参与。特别是，特别鼓励女数学家和其他代表性不足群体的成员申请支助。研讨会包括以下三门小课程：“某些类可解群的准等距刚性”(威斯康星大学的Tullia Dymarz)、“某些Artin群的渐近几何”(俄亥俄州立大学的黄景音)和“双曲群的边界分析”(John MacKay，布里斯托尔大学)。研讨会还将包括研究讲座和非正式讨论。参与者将包括来自与研讨会核心内容(3-流形拓扑学、几何群论和双曲几何)相关的不同领域的美国和欧洲的领先研究人员以及初级研究人员，包括研究生和博士后。更多信息可在研讨会网站上找到，https://www.ventoteneinternationalworkshops.net/This奖反映了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。

This project supports participation of US based mathematicians in the workshop "Quasi-isometries and groups: rigidity and classification" which will take place from September 9th until September 14th, 2019, in Ventotene, Italy. A major goal of the workshop is to train and support the next generation of mathematicians in the field of coarse geometry and quasi-isometries. The conference will help to educate graduate students and recent PhDs on the latest developments in the field. The conference will introduce junior mathematicians to various topics in geometric group theory and bring them up to the forefront of research. A part of the conference will be devoted to three mini-courses, taught by experts known also for their ability to give enlightening lectures. In parallel to the minicourses, there will be research talks. The speakers will be prompted by the organizers to aim their lectures at a broad audience of mathematicians. The majority of funding will support junior participants coming from USA. The organizing committee will encourage and support broad and diverse participation. In particular, women mathematicians and members of other under-represented groups are especially encouraged to apply for support. The workshop consists of the following three minicourses on different aspects of "Quasi-isometric rigidity for certain classes of solvable groups" (Tullia Dymarz, University of Wisconsin), "The asymptotic geometry of certain Artin groups"(Jingyin Huang, Ohio State University), and "Analysis on boundaries of hyperbolic groups" (John MacKay, University of Bristol). The workshop will also feature research talks and informal discussions. Participants will include leading U.S. and European researchers from different areas relevant to the centerpiece of the workshop (3-manifold topology, geometric group theory and hyperbolic geometry) as well as junior researchers, both graduate students and postdocs.
