Percolation on transitive graphs
May 5 to May 9, 2008
American Institute of Mathematics, Palo Alto, CA

Organizers:
Gabor Pete and Mark Sapir

Description:
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to
percolation on transitive graphs, most importantly, on Cayley graphs
of finitely generated infinite groups. Geometric properties of Cayley
graphs often turn out to have counterparts in the probabilistic
world, and vice versa, but the translations between the different
viewpoints are not always trivial. The aim of this workshop is to
bring together people working in geometric group theory, probability
and dynamics to learn from each other about the relevant techniques
in these fields and thus generate new momentum to solve some of the
persistent open problems. 

Deadline:
February 1, 2008
