The 9th William Rowan Hamilton Geometry and Topology Workshop, on Geometry and Groups after Thurston
Month: August 2013
Date: August 27--31
Name: The 9th William Rowan Hamilton Geometry and Topology Workshop, on Geometry and Groups after Thurston
Location: Hamilton Mathematics Institute, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland.
Description
First announcement: The workshop will consist of a two day mini-course August 27-28, followed by a three day lecture series, August 29-31, 2013.
Topic
This year's topic for the workshop is Geometry and Groups after Thurston. This past year has seen the passing of William P. Thurston (1946-2012) whose work and conjectural program influenced much of the research in the fields of low-dimensional geometry and topology and geometric group theory. Also recent progress has seen most of Thurston's conjectural program now solved. This year's workshop aims to consider new directions of research and new problems which will direct future research in the spirit of Thurston's original program.
