Topologie

Abstract

The lectures in the workshop covered various topics in modern topology, including algebraic and geometric topology, homotopy theory, geometric group theory, and manifold topology, as well as connections to neighboring areas, most prominently symplectic topology/geometry. The following current research topics received more attention during the workshop: manifolds and K-theory, symplectic topology and Floer homology, generalizations of hyperbolic techniques in geometric group theory, and equivariant and motivic homotopy theory. The aim of the various topics was to foster communication and provide chances for participants to see and experience driving questions and important methods in nearby fields within the realm of topology.
