Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Research Seminar: selected topics of current top-level research in geometry and analysis on infinite groups, with applications. The themes vary and include combinatorial, asymptotic, and probabilistic aspects of finite and infinite groups, randomness in graphs and groups, group C*-algebras, low-dimensional topology.
The first hour (15:00–15:45) of every seminar is an introductory lecture explaining basic notions that are going to appear during the second hour (16:00–16:45)—the regular research seminar presenting recent developments.
