Geometric group theory is an interdisciplinary field that studies groups by exploring their actions on geometric spaces. By interpreting abstract algebraic properties through the lens of geometry and ...

On 22 February 2017, The Chronicle of Higher Education published an interview with Tufts University math professor Moon Duchin, who recently announced an initiative to train a "new generation of ...

We prove an asymptotic analog of the classical Hurewicz theorem on mappings that lower dimension. This theorem allows us to find sharp upper bound estimates for the asymptotic dimension of groups ...

10:15 Sam Shepard (Münster) Product separability for special cube complexes Abstract: I will talk about my new result regarding the separability of products of subgroups for groups that admit a ...

Lodha presented his solution at the London Mathematical Society's Geometric and Cohomological Group Theory symposium in August, and has submitted the work to a journal. "People were very excited by ...

Current areas of research in Bristol include finite and algebraic groups, simple groups and geometric group theory. Representation theory, in its broadest sense, is the art of relating the symmetries ...

In this course we will consider the structure of (infinite) groups. For this, we will study actions of groups on interesting topological and metric spaces. The geometry of these spaces can be used to ...
