Workshop Announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Boundaries of groups ---------------------------------------------------------------- October 10 to October 14, 2016 American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center San Jose, California http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/groupbdy ------------ Description: ------------ This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will focus on understanding boundaries of groups, which can often encode various algebraic and geometric properties of the underlying group. The workshop is organized by Jean-Francois Lafont and Genevieve Walsh . For more details please see the workshop announcement page: http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/groupbdy 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 May 20, 2016. Applications are open to all, and we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities, junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily undergraduate institutions to apply. -------------------------------- AIM Research Conference Center: -------------------------------- The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM 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.
