In this course we will consider the structure of (infinite) groups. For this, we will study actions of groups on interesting topological and metric spaces. The geometry of these spaces can be used to ...

Model Theory meets GGT is a week-long conference aimed at bringing together young researchers in the areas of Model Theory and Geometric Group Theory. These two areas exhibit a rich interplay, and the ...

On 22 February 2017, The Chronicle of Higher Education published an interview with Tufts University math professor Moon Duchin, who recently announced an initiative to train a "new generation of ...

We prove an asymptotic analog of the classical Hurewicz theorem on mappings that lower dimension. This theorem allows us to find sharp upper bound estimates for the asymptotic dimension of groups ...

The aim of the seminar is to understand the structure and theory of the isometry groups of CAT(0)-spaces and their lattices. The papers on discrete subgroups and structure theory by Caprace and Monod ...

Lodha presented his solution at the London Mathematical Society's Geometric and Cohomological Group Theory symposium in August, and has submitted the work to a journal. "People were very excited by ...

Geometric group theory is an interdisciplinary field that studies groups by exploring their actions on geometric spaces. By interpreting abstract algebraic properties through the lens of geometry and ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – A famous math problem that has vexed mathematicians for decades has met an elegant solution by Cornell University researchers. Graduate student Yash Lodha, working with Justin Moore, ...
