Boundaries in Geometric Group Theory
June 13 to June 17, 2005
AIM Research Conference Center, Palo Alto, CA

Organizers:
Misha Kapovich and Bruce Kleiner

Workshop topics:
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will serve to
facilitate discussions on various aspects of boundaries of groups. 
A variety of different constructions of boundaries at infinity 
have long played an important role in geometric group theory and 
related areas such as Kleinian groups, rigidity theory for lattices,
3-manifolds, and nonpositive curvature.  In the last 7 years, 
there has been particularly intense progress on boundaries, especially
boundaries of hyperbolic groups and CAT(0) groups.  The principal 
goal of the workshop is to bring together people working on this topic
so as to foster further research. 

Application deadline:
March 13, 2005
