Automorphisms of Free Groups: Algorithms, Geometry and Dynamics

Sign in
Intensive Research Programme (IRP)
From September 01, 2012
to September 30, 2012

Introduction

The study of automorphisms of free groups is a classical subject, with more than 100 years of history. The last 25 years have witnessed the development of many interesting new tools, resulting in the subject’s diversification into algorithmic, geometric and dynamical aspects. While these aspects continue to be heavily intertwined, they have meanwhile taken root in several other areas of mathematics. The purpose of the proposed program is to assemble experts from these three aspects, with the object of finding innovative approaches to the main open questions from each.

scam warning

We are aware of a number of current scams targeting participants at CRM activities concerning registration or accommodation bookings. If you are approached by a third party (eg travellerpoint.org, Conference Committee, Global Travel Experts or Royal Visit) asking for booking or payment details, please ignore them.

Please remember:
i) CRM never uses third parties to do our administration for events: messages will come directly from CRM staff
ii) CRM will never ask participants for credit card or bank details
iii) If you have any doubt about an email you receive please get in touch
