Conference: Geometric Group Theory XI

该奖项将为2023年2月13日至17日在德国明斯特举行的“青年几何群论XI”会议的美国参会者提供部分支持。这一系列国际会议主要面向从事几何群论和相关数学领域工作的研究生和早期职业研究人员。会议的目的是让这些研究人员接触到新的主题，为他们提供展示他们的工作的机会，并促进合作。会议包括知名专家的小型课程、选定的早期职业研究人员的全体演讲、非正式讨论会议、与会者的闪电演讲、海报会议和两个小组讨论。这些迷你课程的主题是几何群论研究的前沿。本次会议的小型课程包括Federica Fanoni的大型地图班组，Mahan Mj的Cannon-瑟斯顿地图，Andreas Thom的Soficity，以及Genevive Walsh的不连贯和拟凸性。这些讲座将对他们所在领域的一些重要发展进行全景概述。全体会议的发言将侧重于最近的其他研究和方向，以扩大讲习班的范围，并鼓励与会者探索这一主题的界限。有关会议的更多信息可在会议网站上找到：https://www.uni-muenster.de/GGT/YGGT/This奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This NSF award will provide partial support for the U.S. based participants of the "Young Geometric Group Theory XI" conference, which will be held in Münster, Germany, February 13-17, 2023. This international conference series is primarily aimed at graduate students and early career researchers working in geometric group theory and related areas of mathematics. The aim of the conference is to expose these researchers to new topics, to provide them with an opportunity to present their work, and to facilitate collaborations. The meeting includes mini-courses by established experts, plenary talks by selected early career researchers, informal discussion sessions, lightning talks by participants, a poster session, and two panels. The mini-courses are on topics at the forefront of research in geometric group theory. The panels will focus on professional development as well as on equity, diversity, and inclusion.The mini-courses in this conferences are Big Mapping Class Groups by Federica Fanoni, Cannon-Thurston Maps by Mahan Mj, Soficity by Andreas Thom, and Incoherence and Quasiconvexity by Genevieve Walsh. These lectures will present a panoramic overview of some of the important developments in their field. The plenary presentations will aim to focus on other recent research and directions to broaden the scope of the workshop, and to encourage the participants to explore the boundaries of the subject. More information about the conference can be found on the conference website: https://www.uni-muenster.de/GGT/YGGT/This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
