William Rowan Hamilton Geometry and Topology Workshop

第九届William Rowan哈密尔顿几何与拓扑学研讨会是一个为期五天的指导研讨会，主题是“瑟斯顿之后的几何与群”，将于2013年8月27-31日在爱尔兰都柏林的汉密尔顿数学研究所(HMI)举行。研讨会将包括为研究生和初级研究人员举办的为期两天的小型课程，随后是为期三天的系列讲座。在过去的一年里，威廉·P·瑟斯顿(1946-2012)去世了，他的工作和猜测计划在过去30年里影响了该领域的许多研究。此外，最近的进展也见证了瑟斯顿猜想程序的大部分现在都得到了解决。今年的研讨会旨在考虑研究的新方向和新问题，这将指导未来的研究，本着瑟斯顿最初计划的精神。威廉·罗文·哈密尔顿几何和拓扑学研讨会的目标是调查当前几何和拓扑学研究的重要领域中的共同主题和技术，并支持对这些领域感兴趣的初级研究人员。研讨会将汇集几何和拓扑学领域的顶尖研究人员，以及对群论和低维几何相关问题特别感兴趣的研究生和初级研究人员，以研究这些领域研究的前沿问题。来自不同领域的专业知识的汇聚将导致新的合作项目，并拓宽参与者的研究视野。研讨会的网站位于http://www.hamilton.tcd.ie/events/gt/gt2013.htm

The 9th William Rowan Hamilton Geometry and Topology Workshop is a five-day, directed workshop on "Geometry and Groups after Thurston", to be held at the Hamilton Mathematical Institute (HMI) in Dublin, Ireland, August 27-31, 2013. The workshop will consist of a two-day minicourse for graduate students and junior researchers, followed by a three day lecture series. This past year has seen the passing of William P. Thurston (1946-2012) whose work and conjectural program infuenced much of the research in the field over the past three decades. Also, recent progress has seen most of Thurston's conjectural program now solved. This year's workshop aims to consider new directions of research and new problems which will direct future research in the spirit of Thurston's original program. The goal of the William Rowan Hamilton Geometry and Topology Workshop is to investigate common themes and techniques among significant areas of current research in geometry and topology and to support junior researchers interested in these areas. The workshop will bring together leading researchers in geometry and topology with graduates students and junior researchers who have a special interest in problems related to group theory and low-dimensional geometry to investigate questions at the forefront of research in these areas. The confluence of expertise from different areas will result in new collaborative projects, and in broadening the research horizons of the participants.
