This project will support US-based participants in the upcoming Young Geometric Group Theory IX conference to be held February 24-28, 2020 in Brittany, France. This will be the ninth iteration of the Young Geometric Group Theory meetings, which have been held every year since 2012. The conferences typically attract between 100 and 200 young researchers. The meeting will have three main types of events: minicourses given by four established experts in the field, informal discussion sessions, and research talks given by junior researchers in geometric group theory. This format allows young researchers to publicize their work, allows graduate students and postdocs to learn cutting-edge methods from their peers and from experts, and provides an opportunity to foster new and international collaborations. Geometric group theory is a fairly young and very active field, and the selection of minicourses and speakers at this conference will reflect various current key directions of research, including groups of birational transformations, Furstenberg-Poisson boundaries and their connections to geometry, conformal dynamics, and groups acting on non-positively curved spaces. Participants will be exposed to a very broad spectrum of topics at the forefront of research in geometric group theory. As most of the participants are expected to be graduate students and early-career mathematicians, they will be able to greatly broaden their knowledge of the field. Through the selection of speakers and participants, the conference will promote the growing diversity that geometric group theory enjoys.For more information, please see the conference website https://yggt2020.sciencesconf.org/This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目将支持即将于2020年2月24日至28日在法国布列塔尼举行的Young Geometric Group Theory IX会议的美国参与者。这将是自2012年以来每年举行的第九次Young Geometric Group Theory会议。这些会议通常吸引100至200名年轻研究人员。会议将有三个主要类型的活动：由四个既定的专家在该领域，非正式讨论会，并在几何群论的初级研究人员给出的研究会谈的小型课程。这种形式使年轻的研究人员能够宣传他们的工作，使研究生和博士后能够从同行和专家那里学习尖端方法，并为促进新的国际合作提供了机会。几何群论是一个相当年轻和非常活跃的领域，在这次会议上选择的迷你课程和演讲者将反映当前研究的各种关键方向，包括双有理变换群，Furstenberg-Poisson边界及其与几何，共形动力学的连接，以及作用于非正弯曲空间的群。与会者将接触到一个非常广泛的主题在几何群论研究的前沿。由于大多数参与者预计将是研究生和早期职业数学家，他们将能够大大拓宽他们的领域的知识。通过选择演讲者和与会者，会议将促进几何群论享有日益增长的多样性。欲了解更多信息，请参阅会议网站https://yggt2020.sciencesconf.org/This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
