Conference: Young Geometric Group Theory XII

该奖项将为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”会议的美国参与者提供部分支持。青年几何群论会议系列是几何群论领域规模最大的年度会议，在同类活动中独树一帜，主要面向研究生和早期职业研究人员。会议的目的是让早期职业研究人员接触到该领域的前沿研究，为他们提供分享工作的机会，并促进新的合作。会议包括由知名专家讲授的小型课程、由选定的资深和早期职业研究人员进行的全体会议、针对参与者的灯光讲座和海报会议、小组非正式讨论和小组讨论，重点关注职业机会以及公平、多样性和包容性。参加这个系列的会议可能会改变年轻研究人员的职业生涯，NSF的支持使美国的参与者可以参加会议。本次会议的迷你课程是Mark Hagen的立方体几何，Kathryn Mann的收敛群，三流形和Anosov-Like动作，以及Romain Tessera的解析/拓扑障碍到粗嵌入。每一场讲座以及四场高级全体会议都将概述该主题，并使与会者了解该领域的工具和最新发展。此外，四场由早期职业研究人员举行的全体会议将扩大会议的范围，并从更接近职业阶段参与者的研究人员那里介绍该领域的新发展。更多信息可以在会议的网站上找到：https://sites.google.com/view/yggt2024This该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，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.
