The Workshop
The
William Rowan Hamilton
Geometry
and Topology Workshop is an annual directed workshop held at the
Hamilton Mathematics Institute (HMI), Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. The topic for the 2007 workshop is Pro-p groups and low dimensional topology.
Specific topics include the virtual Haken and virtual fibering
conjectures, large groups, pro-p groups, property tau,
subgroup growth and L2-Betti numbers.
Goals
The goal of the William Rowan Hamilton
Geometery and Topology
Workshop is to provide a forum in which the international
geometry and topology community can meet annually with its European
counterpart to discuss topics of an interdisciplinary nature. A major
anticipated outcome of these annual workshops is the determination of
future research directions, and the generation of a list of open
problems in the topics of focus. The workshop has a permanent
website at http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~hmi/events/gt/gt.htm/,
where these problem lists and any lecture notes that the participants
provide will be posted. Furthermore, the HMI intends to have a
preprint series, whereby hard copies of the workshop results can be
disseminated to research institutions worldwide.
Sponsors
Boston College, and the HMI, have
generously provided
grants to co-sponsor this event as part of
their commitment to fostering ties between the US scientific community
and the European scientific community.
