Conference: Young Geometric Group Theory XII

该奖项将为美国提供部分支持-在“青年几何群理论十二”，将在布里斯托，英国举行的会议的基础上的参与者。从2024年4月8日到4月12日Young Geometric Group Theory会议系列是几何群论中最大的年度会议，在类似的活动中是独一无二的，主要针对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举办的小型课程，由选定的高级和早期职业研究人员举办的全体会议，照明讲座和与会者海报会议，小组非正式讨论和小组讨论，重点是职业机会以及公平，多样性和包容性。参加本系列的会议可能会改变年轻研究人员的职业生涯，NSF的支持使美国的出席成为可能。本次会议的迷你课程是Mark哈根的立体几何，Kathryn Mann的收敛群，三流形和Anosov类动作，以及Romain Tessera的分析/拓扑障碍粗嵌入。这些讲座中的每一个，沿着四个高级全体会议将介绍该主题的概述，并向与会者介绍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 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.
