Modern advances in geometric group theory
The focus of this workshop is modern advances in the study of infinite groups, under a variety of contexts, many of them related to topology. There is a long history of interaction between groups, geometry, and topology (e.g. Dehn's problems on finitely presented groups) going up to the present day (e.g. use of cubulated groups in Agol's Breakthrough Prize work on 3-manifolds). There have been further advances and new ideas recently in the study of homeomorphism groups, mapping class groups, one-relator groups, right-angled Artin groups, random groups, and the concept of finding "fibrings" of groups, to name just a few. The goal is to bring together experts to explain their work, and then try to use their new methods in neighbouring areas. By doing this we can accelerate the development of new mathematics, and work on solving problems using state of the art techniques.

Minimal surfaces in symmetric spaces and Labourie’s conjecture
The school will focus on minimal surfaces in symmetric spaces, and more specifically on Labourie’s conjecture. The participants (between 20 and 25 participants) will be graduate students, post-docs and young faculty. Following an Arbeitsgemeinschaft format, most of the participants will give a 2-3 hours talk. The organisers will assign the topics and give the necessary references to guide the content of the lectures.

Geometric structures, compactifications and group actions
The unifying background of the meeting will be rigid differential-geometric structures, such as conformal and projective structures. This refers both to structures locally modelled on homogeneous spaces and to their curved analogues. One topic will be applications of Cartan connections to locally homogeneous structures, their moduli spaces, and compactifications. A related topic will be conformal compactifications such as Poincare-Einstein manifolds, and analogues for other ambient geometries. Another topic will be group actions preserving such structures and their rigidity.
Start: Monday, 27/06/2022 09:30 am
