North British Geometric Group Theory Seminar

Wednesday 3rd November 2021, University of Newcastle

We plan to hold this through zoom. Please contact me (Sarah Rees) if you have any queries about this.

I will distribute the zoom link by email to all on my email list and any others who contact me, well in advance of the meeting.

But you can also join using zoom ID: 818 3811 3592 if you can solve my password puzzle:

the password is the name in lower case of a Russian emigre mathematician whose name is associated with negative curved triangles, FOLLOWED BY the order in decimal digits of the smallest non-abelian simple group.

Our schedule (in UK time, please add one hour for West Europe, subtract 4 hours for USA):

• 1300-1330 `Coffee' in gathertown.

  Due to a technical problem we can only organise access to gathertown on Wednesday. So we'll post the link to that within the chat of the zoom meeting.

• 1330-1430: Remi Coulon (Rennes) : Equations in periodic groups
• 1445-1545: Rylee Lyman (Rutgers) : Train track maps and CTs on graphs of groups
• 1545-1615: Online Tea break in Gathertown. (We'll distribute the link through zoom chat.)
• 1615-1715: Anna Wienhard (Heidelberg) : Symmetric spaces and discrete structures: Geometry, Dynamics, and Applications
• 1715 onwards: Online drinks and nibbles in Gathertown. (We'll distribute the link through zoom chat.)

  The meeting is funded by grants from the London Mathematical Society, and the Glasgow Mathematical Journal Learning and Research Support Fund.
