Title: Geometric Group Theory: A Guided Tour

Additional Public Info:
Geometric Group Theory is a relatively new area of Mathematics that combines tools from Analysis, Algebra, Geometry and Topology to study groups from various points of view. In this talk we will introduce the basic ideas of Geometric Group Theory and some interesting examples of classes of groups. We will then look at a set of recently solved topological questions that illustrate both the surprising relationships between the examples presented and the strength of the methods employed. No previous knowledge of Geometric Group Theory of Low-dimensional Topology will be assumed for this talk.

Refreshments will be served 3:30-4:00 in 348 Avery. The talk is free and open to the public.
