This award provides funding for the second Riverside Workshop on Geometric Group Theory, which is to be held May 3-6, 2024, at the University of California Riverside. This workshop will feature three minicourses given by early-career mathematicians working in the field of geometric group theory. This is an active area of research lying at the interface of geometry, algebra, and dynamical systems, with many applications especially to low-dimensional topology, and which has seen many break-through results over the past decades. The topic of each minicourse will be a cutting-edge technique or idea developed by the speaker, with an audience of graduate students and postdocs in mind. Each speaker will also produce an expository paper on the topic of their minicourse, and these papers will be compiled into a book, mirroring the 2023 version of the activity.Much of the machinery in geometric group theory is highly technical, and so graduate students looking to enter the field will benefit from careful exposition of the big ideas of the field in lecture series that elaborate extensively on background and examples. The invited minicourse speakers are: Abdalrazzaq Zalloum (University of Toronto), who will speak on the geometry of CAT(0) and injective spaces; Emily Stark (Wesleyan University), who will speak on boundaries of groups; and Inhyeok Choi (Korea Institute for Advanced Study), who will speak on random walks on groups and their applications. The website of the workshop is https://sites.google.com/view/rivggt24/home.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.

该奖项为将于2024年5月3日至6日在加州大学滨江分校举行的第二届几何群论滨江研讨会提供资金。这个研讨会将有三个微型课程，由早期的职业数学家在几何群论领域工作。这是一个活跃的研究领域，位于几何，代数和动力系统的接口，具有许多应用，特别是低维拓扑，在过去的几十年中已经看到了许多突破性的成果。 每一个微型课程的主题将是一个尖端的技术或思想开发的发言者，与观众的研究生和博士后的头脑。每个演讲者还将就他们的迷你课程主题撰写一篇临时论文，这些论文将被汇编成一本书，反映2023年的活动版本。几何群论中的大部分机械都是高度技术性的，因此希望进入该领域的研究生将受益于系列讲座中对该领域大思想的仔细阐述，这些讲座广泛阐述了背景和示例。受邀的小型课程发言人是：Abdalrazzaq Zalloum（多伦多大学），他将就CAT（0）和内射空间的几何问题发言;艾米丽斯塔克（卫斯理大学），他将就群的边界问题发言; Inhyeok Choi（韩国高等研究院），他将就群的随机游动及其应用问题发言。该研讨会的网站是https://sites.google.com/view/rivggt24/home.This奖反映了NSF的法定使命，并已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的支持。
