Conference: Geometric Group Theory XI

该NSF奖项将为2023年2月13日至17日在德国明斯特举行的“Young Geometric Group Theory Xi”会议的美国参与者提供部分支持。这个国际会议系列主要针对研究生和早期职业研究人员在几何群论和数学相关领域的工作。会议的目的是让这些研究人员接触新的主题，为他们提供展示工作的机会，并促进合作。会议包括知名专家的小型课程，选定的早期职业研究人员的全体会议，非正式讨论会，与会者的闪电会谈，海报会议和两个小组。迷你课程的主题是在几何群论研究的前沿。小组讨论将侧重于专业发展以及公平、多样性和包容性。本次会议的迷你课程包括Federica Fanoni的Big Mapping Class Groups、Mahan Mj的Cannon Thurston Maps、Andreas Thom的Soficity以及Genevieve沃尔什的Incoherence和Quasiconvexity。这些讲座将呈现在他们的领域的一些重要发展的全景概述。全体会议的发言将侧重于其他最近的研究和方向，以扩大讲习班的范围，并鼓励与会者探索该主题的界限。有关会议的更多信息可以在会议网站上找到：https://www.uni-muenster.de/GGT/YGGT/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。

This NSF award will provide partial support for the U.S. based participants of the "Young Geometric Group Theory XI" conference, which will be held in Münster, Germany, February 13-17, 2023. This international conference series is primarily aimed at graduate students and early career researchers working in geometric group theory and related areas of mathematics. The aim of the conference is to expose these researchers to new topics, to provide them with an opportunity to present their work, and to facilitate collaborations. The meeting includes mini-courses by established experts, plenary talks by selected early career researchers, informal discussion sessions, lightning talks by participants, a poster session, and two panels. The mini-courses are on topics at the forefront of research in geometric group theory. The panels will focus on professional development as well as on equity, diversity, and inclusion.The mini-courses in this conferences are Big Mapping Class Groups by Federica Fanoni, Cannon-Thurston Maps by Mahan Mj, Soficity by Andreas Thom, and Incoherence and Quasiconvexity by Genevieve Walsh. These lectures will present a panoramic overview of some of the important developments in their field. The plenary presentations will aim to focus on other recent research and directions to broaden the scope of the workshop, and to encourage the participants to explore the boundaries of the subject. More information about the conference can be found on the conference website: https://www.uni-muenster.de/GGT/YGGT/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.
