How to
get there? |
On the occasion of
the International Congress of
Mathematicians to be held in Madrid (Spain) from 22 to 30
August, 2006, the Department of
Algebra, Geometry and Topology of the University
of Málaga is pleased to host the very first Group Action Forum
conference. We also want to highlight the fact that immediately
after the conference in Madrid, and before the GTT06 conference there
will be another satellite activity of the ICM related to Group Theory
that participants may find interesting: the conference Geometric and Asymptotic
Group Theory with Applications that will take place in Manresa
(Barcelona).
Goals:
The purpose of the conference is to highlight the interactions of group
theory with topology and geometry. So it is our aim to bring together leading
researchers from these branches of mathematics where transformation
groups appear, and so the notion of group and the concept of symmetry
play important roles. Being more precise, the topics this event will cover are:
- groups and
homotopy theory
- geometric
group theory
- manifolds
and group actions
- orbifolds
and group actions
- L2
methods/Farrell-Jones Conjecture
