North British Geometric Group Theory Seminar

Wednesday April 30, 2008, University of Leeds

• 1.45-2.45 Nik Ruskuc (St. Andrews), `Monoids, normal forms and Cayley graphs'
• 3.00-4.00 Tim Riley (Bristol) `Hydra Groups'
• Tea: 4.00--4.30
• 4.30--5.30 Eric Jaligot (Lyon 1) `Free, hyperbolic, and CSA-groups: model-theoretic properties of equations.'

Lectures will be in Lecture Theatre 10 of the Roger Stevens Lecture Theatre Block, adjacent to the School of Mathematics.

We'll be organising a dinner afterwards. For lunch, Dugald suggests the Staff Common Room -- he will take a group of people along there around 12.45.

The meeting is funded by grants from the London Mathematical Society, the Edinburgh Mathematical Society and the Glasgow Mathematical Journal, with support also from the Marie Curie projects MRTN-CT-2004-512234 and MEXC-CT-2005-024052.
