Workshop Announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Problems in Geometric Group Theory ---------------------------------------------------------------- April 23 to April 27, 2007 American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center Palo Alto, California http://aimath.org/ARCC/workshops/geomgpthy.html ------------ Description: ------------ This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to compiling a list of unsolved and partially solved problems in geometric group theory. The list will be organized into various subfields of geometric group theory and other fields that have substantial overlap with geometric group theory. The problems will be annotated with special cases, relationships among the problems, broader implications, and progress to date. The workshop is organized by Mladen Bestvina, Tadeusz Januszkiewicz, and Richard Scott. For more details please see the workshop announcement page: http://aimath.org/ARCC/workshops/geomgpthy.html Space and funding is available for a few more participants. If you would like to participate, please apply by filling out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later than January 12, 2007. Applications are open to all, and we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities, junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily undergraduate institutions to apply. Before submitting an application, please read the ARCC policies concerning participation and financial support for participants. -------------------------------------- AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC): -------------------------------------- The AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC) hosts focused workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. ARCC focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an important new result, or investigating the convergence between two distinct areas of mathematics.
