Description

Geometric group theory is a relatively new research field devoted to the study of the geometry of infinite groups and became a clearly identifiable branch of mathematics in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It closely interacts with low-dimensional topology, hyperbolic geometry, algebraic topology, combinatorial group theory and Riemannian geometry.  The goal of this conference is to bring together people from the various branches of the field to discuss recent developments in this area, and offer an opportunity for all the participants to make intensive exchanges of ideas.

Tips

Because of the enclosed campus of Peking University, some students will be waiting to help you enter the campus at the West gate and East gate of the campus from 9:00am to 9:40am on June 5 , the first day of the conference. You will get a badge which could be used as campus pass after the on-site registration at the venue.
