Conference on Geometric and Asymptotic Group Theory with Applications

该奖项支持参加于2016年6月13日至17日在新泽西州霍博肯举行的“几何与渐近群论及其应用”会议。这次活动将来自群论和计算机科学的不同分支的人们聚集在一起，研究该领域的许多开放问题中的一些，这些问题现在正从新的和有前途的角度进行研究；它将进一步加强该领域与数学其他分支的联系。这次活动包括一系列关于这一主题的高级小型课程，以便向该领域的新研究人员提供材料，并讨论下一步进展和结果的观点和总体方向。组织者致力于提高女性在该行业各个层面的知名度，并专门为女性演讲者设立了一个会议日。会议致力于群体理论的发展，重点关注群体和群体行动，以及将群体或群体行动作为主要工具的其他数学领域。该程序涵盖了现代群论的许多分支，优先考虑几何、渐近和组合群论、群行动的动力学、概率和分析方法、与遍历理论和算子代数的相互作用以及其他相关领域。欲了解更多信息，请访问会议网站http://web.stevens.edu/algebraic/GAGTA2016/index.htm。

This award supports participation in the conference "Geometric and Asymptotic Group Theory with Applications,'' held in Hoboken, New Jersey on June 13-17, 2016. The event brings people from various branches of group theory and computer science together to work on some of the many open questions in the field that are now being studied from fresh and promising perspectives; it will further strengthen the connections the field has to other branches of mathematics. The event includes a series of advanced-level mini courses on the subject matter so as to make the material available to new researchers in the field, and to discuss the perspectives and general directions for the next advances and results. The organizers are committed to increasing the visibility of women at all levels of the profession and have dedicated one of the conference days exclusively for women speakers.The conference is devoted to developments in group theory focusing on groups and group actions as well as other areas of mathematics in which groups or group actions are used as a main tool. The program covers many branches of modern group theory with preference given to geometric, asymptotic, and combinatorial group theory, dynamics of group actions, probabilistic and analytic methods, interaction with ergodic theory and operator algebras, and other related fields.
