Manifolds and Groups
Workshop
2007Period
09 Feb - 15 Feb 2020Abstract
The workshop concentrated on the interplay of advances in the understanding
of manifolds and geometric group theory. In particular, we discussed mapping
class groups and moduli spaces of manifolds (also of high dimension) and
aspects
of homological stability related to them; cobordism categories and their
applications;
$L^2$-invariants, simplicial volume, and their applications; and in
general, the phenomena of rigidity versus flexibility in geometry and
topology.
