Conference: No Boundaries: Groups in Algebra, Geometry, and Topology

这场名为《没有边界：代数、几何和拓扑学中的群体》的会议将于2017年10月27-29日在芝加哥大学举行。没有边界：代数、几何和拓扑学中的群是一个突出几何群论领域对几个相关数学领域的重大影响的会议。会议还旨在促进几何群论和相关领域的进一步基础性发现。这次会议将使与会者接触到最高水平的数学，由该领域一些最好的讲解者介绍。通过录制的视频，不同机构的数学家将获得这些想法的宝贵机会。主办方期望这次会议将激励新一代研究人员在工作中开拓深度和广度。会议的目的是突出当前几何群论、低维拓扑、表示论、动力学、数论和代数几何等领域的数学进展，例如表示稳定性理论的发展，以及三维流形拓扑理论和映射类群群理论中许多长期存在的猜想的解决。届时将有多个相关领域的顶尖专家进行全体演讲。会议将有几个环节的闪电演讲，为初级研究人员提供一个高调的舞台来展示他们的成果，并在休息时间有充足的时间与专家讨论他们的工作。会议还将举行一个问题会议，会议的成果将决定这些领域未来几年的研究方向。欲了解更多信息，请访问会议websitehttp://people.math.gatech.edu/~dmargalit7/noboundaries/index.shtml

The conference titled "No Boundaries: Groups in Algebra, Geometry, and Topology" will be held October 27-29, 2017 at the University of Chicago. No Boundaries: Groups in Algebra, Geometry, and Topology is a conference that highlights the significant impact of the field of geometric group theory on several related mathematical fields. The conference also aims to promote further fundamental discoveries in geometric group theory and the related fields. This conference will expose attendees to the highest caliber of mathematics, presented by some of the field's best expositors. Through the recorded videos, mathematicians at a wide variety of institutions will gain valuable exposure to these ideas. The organizers expect that the conference will serve as inspiration for a new generation of researchers to develop both depth and breadth in their work.The aims of the conference are to highlight current mathematical advances at the various interfaces of geometric group theory, low-dimensional topology, representation theory, dynamics, number theory, and algebraic geometry; examples include the development of the theory of representation stability and the resolution of many long-standing conjectures in the theory of 3-manifold topology and the theory of mapping class group groups. There will be plenary lectures by top experts in a variety of related fields. The conference will have several sessions of lightning talks, affording junior researchers a high-profile stage in which to present their results, and ample time to discuss their work with experts during breaks. The conference will also feature a problem session, the output of which will shape the direction of research in these areas for years to come.
