Conference: Young Geometric Group Theory XII

该奖项将为将于2024年4月8日至4月12日在英国布里斯托尔举行的“青年几何群论XII”会议的美国与会者提供部分支持。青年几何群论会议系列是几何群论中最大的年度会议，在类似活动中是独一无二的，主要针对研究生和职业生涯早期的研究人员。会议的目的是让早期职业研究人员接触该领域的尖端研究，为他们提供分享工作的机会，并促进新的合作。会议包括知名专家的小型课程、选定的高级和早期职业研究人员的全体演讲、照明演讲和面向与会者的海报会议、小组非正式讨论和小组讨论，重点将是职业机会以及公平、多样性和包容性。参加这个系列的会议可能会改变一个年轻的研究人员的职业生涯，NSF的支持使在美国的参与者可以参加。这次会议的迷你课程有Mark Hagen的立方体几何、收敛群、Kathryn Mann的三流形和类似Anosov的动作，以及Romain Tessera的分析/拓扑障碍粗嵌入。这些讲座中的每一次以及四次高级全体会议都将概述这一主题，并让与会者了解该领域的工具和最新发展。此外，早期职业研究人员的四次全体演讲将扩大会议的范围，并从更接近职业阶段参与者的研究人员那里展示该领域的新发展。更多信息可以在会议的网站上找到：https://sites.google.com/view/yggt2024This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。

This award will provide partial support for U.S.-based participants in “Young Geometric Group Theory XII”, a conference which will be held in Bristol, U.K. from April 8 to April 12, 2024. The Young Geometric Group Theory conference series is the largest annual conference in geometric group theory, and unique among similar events for being primarily aimed at graduate students and early career researchers. The purpose of the conference is to expose early career researchers to cutting edge research in the field, provide them opportunities to share their work, and to facilitate new collaborations. The conference includes mini-courses by established experts, plenary talks by selected senior and early career researchers, lighting talks and a poster session for participants, small-group informal discussions, and panel discussions, which will focus on career opportunities as well as equity, diversity and inclusion. Participating in a conference in this series may be transformative for a young researcher’s career, and NSF support makes attendance accessible for U.S.-based participants.The mini-courses for this conference are Cubical Geometry by Mark Hagen, Convergence Groups, Three-Manifolds and Anosov-Like Actions by Kathryn Mann, and Analytic/Topological Obstructions to Coarse Embeddings by Romain Tessera. Each of these lectures, along with four senior plenary talks will present an overview of the topic and expose participants to tools and recent developments in the field. Additionally, four plenary talks by early career researchers will broaden the scope of the conference and present new developments in the field from researchers closer to the participants in career stage.
