International Workshop on Quasi-Isometries and Groups: Rigidity and Classification

该项目支持美国数学家参加将于2019年9月9日至9月14日在意大利文托泰内举行的“准等距与群：刚性与分类”研讨会。讲习班的一个主要目标是培训和支持下一代数学家在粗略的几何和准等距领域。会议将有助于教育研究生和最近的博士在该领域的最新发展。会议将向初级数学家介绍几何群论的各种主题，并将他们带到研究的最前沿。会议的一部分将专门用于三个小型课程，由专家讲授，他们也有能力给予启发性的讲座。在小型课程的同时，将有研究会谈。组织者将促使演讲者将演讲目标对准广大的数学家听众。大部分资金将用于支持来自美国的初级参与者。组委会将鼓励和支持广泛和多样化的参与。特别鼓励女数学家和其他代表性不足群体的成员申请资助。研讨会包括以下三个不同方面的微型课程：“某些类的可解群的拟等距刚性”（威斯康星州大学的Tullia Dymarz）、“某些Artin群的渐近几何”（俄亥俄州州立大学的Jingyin Huang）和“双曲群的边界分析”（布里斯托大学的John MacKay）。研讨会还将包括研究讲座和非正式讨论。与会者将包括来自与研讨会核心内容相关的不同领域（3-流形拓扑，几何群论和双曲几何）的美国和欧洲领先研究人员以及研究生和博士后的初级研究人员。更多信息可以在研讨会网站www.example.com上找到https://www.ventoteneinternationalworkshops.net/This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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来支持。

This project supports participation of US based mathematicians in the workshop "Quasi-isometries and groups: rigidity and classification" which will take place from September 9th until September 14th, 2019, in Ventotene, Italy. A major goal of the workshop is to train and support the next generation of mathematicians in the field of coarse geometry and quasi-isometries. The conference will help to educate graduate students and recent PhDs on the latest developments in the field. The conference will introduce junior mathematicians to various topics in geometric group theory and bring them up to the forefront of research. A part of the conference will be devoted to three mini-courses, taught by experts known also for their ability to give enlightening lectures. In parallel to the minicourses, there will be research talks. The speakers will be prompted by the organizers to aim their lectures at a broad audience of mathematicians. The majority of funding will support junior participants coming from USA. The organizing committee will encourage and support broad and diverse participation. In particular, women mathematicians and members of other under-represented groups are especially encouraged to apply for support. The workshop consists of the following three minicourses on different aspects of "Quasi-isometric rigidity for certain classes of solvable groups" (Tullia Dymarz, University of Wisconsin), "The asymptotic geometry of certain Artin groups"(Jingyin Huang, Ohio State University), and "Analysis on boundaries of hyperbolic groups" (John MacKay, University of Bristol). The workshop will also feature research talks and informal discussions. Participants will include leading U.S. and European researchers from different areas relevant to the centerpiece of the workshop (3-manifold topology, geometric group theory and hyperbolic geometry) as well as junior researchers, both graduate students and postdocs.
