2019 Redbud Geometry/Topology Conference

2019年紫荆几何/拓扑会议将于2019年4月26日至28日在俄克拉荷马州大学举行。会议将集中在几何群论的主题。本次会议是在阿肯色州和俄克拉荷马州的大学举行的一系列会议的一部分，旨在增加该地区早期职业和高级数学家之间的互动和合作。它将有来自北美各地的著名演讲者，以及一个研究生研讨会。2019年Redbud几何/拓扑会议将集中讨论有关曲面和CAT（0）立方体复合体的映射类组及其在群论和拓扑中的应用的主题。受邀演讲人有Juliette Bavard（雷恩大学）、Mladen Besthart（犹他大学）、Michelle Chu（加州大学圣巴巴拉分校）、Jingyin Huang（俄亥俄州州立大学）、Kasia Jankiewicz（芝加哥大学）、丹尼尔Margalit（格鲁吉亚理工学院）、Andrew Putman（圣母大学）、Yulan Qing（多伦多大学）和Balazs Strenner（格鲁吉亚理工学院）。会议以旨在增强研究生和初级研究人员经验的研讨会开始。研讨会将由Bestelf，Huang和Putman进行简短的演讲。会议网站：http://www.math.ou.edu/redbud/This奖反映了NSF的法定使命，并已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的支持。

The 2019 Redbud Geometry/Topology Conference will be held April 26-28, 2019 at the University of Oklahoma. The conference will focus on topics in geometric group theory. This conference is part of an ongoing series of conferences held at universities in Arkansas and Oklahoma, intended to increase interaction and collaboration among early career and senior mathematicians in the area. It will feature prominent speakers from across North America, as well as a graduate student workshop. The 2019 Redbud Geometry/Topology Conference will be centered on topics concerning mapping class groups of surfaces and CAT(0) cube complexes, and their applications to group theory and topology. The invited speakers are Juliette Bavard (Universite de Rennes), Mladen Bestvina (University of Utah), Michelle Chu (UC Santa Barbara), Jingyin Huang (Ohio State University), Kasia Jankiewicz (University of Chicago), Daniel Margalit (Georgia Tech), Andrew Putman (University of Notre Dame), Yulan Qing (University of Toronto), and Balazs Strenner (Georgia Tech). The conference begins with a workshop designed to enhance the experience of graduate students and junior researchers. The workshop will feature expository talks by Bestvina, Huang, and Putman.
