Infinite
monster groups
Erwin Schrödinger International
Institute, Vienna
Program: December 12 - 21, 2011 / Workshop:
December 14 - 18, 2011
The
aim of the programme is to bring together specialists in various
methods
of
constructing infinite groups with extreme properties.
Topics include, but are not limited to, geometric,
analytic, combinatorial, algorithmic,
and computational aspects of the following major classes of infinite
groups:
Limits of groups with curvature (e.g. Burnside and
Tarski monsters)
Golod-Schafarevich groups
Limit groups in the sense of Sela (questions related to
Tarski problem)
Random groups
Infinite Kac-Moody groups
Infinite simple groups
Kähler groups
Thompson's groups
Organizers: Prof.
Goulnara
Arzhantseva (Vienna) and Prof. Mark Sapir
(Vanderbilt).
