Conference: Growth in Groups, June 24-28, 2014

“团队成长”会议将于2014年6月24日至27日在瑞士neuch<e:1> tel附近的Le Louverain会议中心举行。群中的增长一直是一个迷人而成功的学科，它将代数、几何、分析和组合学联系在一起，给出了一些开创性和深刻的结果，例如著名的Gromov关于多项式增长群的定理或Grigorchuck的中间增长群的存在性。本次会议将通过特邀演讲者的研究报告概述该领域的最新成果。它还将为博士生和博士后提供两门迷你课程。会议的主题包括：群和图的标准增长、增长率、Coxeter群的增长、共轭增长、一致增长、测地线增长、子群增长、增长和可适应性、增长和2-Betti数、形式语言和增长。通过其性质，会议寻求高级和初级数学家之间的互动。会议将在一个孤立的、相对较小但组织良好的会议中心举行，这个地点应该非常有利于讨论和研究。世界一流的科学家将展示他们的工作，同时为年轻科学家提供迷你课程，这将以友好和方便的方式介绍这一领域。该会议旨在为初级数学家提供交流和培训的绝佳机会。资金将主要用于支付年轻参与者的旅费和住宿费。会议的更多细节可在https://sites.google.com/site/neuchatel2014/上找到

The conference "Growth in Groups" will take place in the conference center Le Louverain, which is located in the vicinity of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, during the period June 24-27, 2014. Growth in groups has been a fascinating and successful subject connecting algebra, geometry, analysis and combinatorics to give some groundbreaking and profound results, such as the celebrated theorem of Gromov on groups of polynomial growth or the existence of groups of intermediate growth by Grigorchuck. This conference will provide an overview of recent results in the area through the research talks given by the invited speakers. It will also contain two mini-courses for PhD students and post-docs. The topics of the conference include: standard growth in groups and graphs, growth rates, growth in Coxeter groups, conjugacy growth, uniform growth, geodesic growth, subgroup growth, growth and amenability, growth and 2-Betti numbers, formal languages and growth.Through its nature, the conference seeks the interaction between senior and junior mathematicians. The conference will take place in an isolated, relatively small, but well organized conference center, a location which should be very conductive to discussions and research. The mixture of world-class scientists presenting their work together with the mini-courses for young scientists will provide an introduction to this field in a friendly and accessible manner. The conference is designed to be a great opportunity for networking and training for junior mathematicians. Funds will be used mainly to cover the travel and hosting costs for young participants.More details for the conference can be found at https://sites.google.com/site/neuchatel2014/
