Geometric analysis and geometric group theory are two fields which have seen rapid progress in recent years, with the development of powerful tools that have solved major open questions and opened up exciting new avenues of inquiry. Both these fields are very active but there have been relatively few opportunities to explore the interaction between them. The goal of this conference is to bring together world-leading experts from these two different research communities in order to enable exchange of ideas and explore potential new applications.
Topics: Geometric group theory, Geometric analysis, Geometric measure theory, analysis on metric spaces, quasiisometry, geometric flow, Ricci flow, quasisymmetry.
