Geometric Group Theory in East Asia
Description
Welcome to the the GGTea Webinar.
The webinar provides a platform for communication and collaboration among young researchers in geometric group theory. We meet weekly for a one-hour talk followed by half an hour of informal discussion and tea. The talks should be accessible to graduate students. All are welcome to join.
The seminar usually takes place on Fridays at 10am (China) / 11am (Korea, Japan) / 12pm (Aus EST) / 9pm Thursday (US ET), unless otherwise adjusted for the speaker. The talks will be hosted on Zoom. All are welcome to tune in.
Meeting ID: 982 4085 5770
Passcode: a space satisfying the thin triangle property is called a ??? space (10 letters lower case).

December 17 10am China Time: Ivan Levcovitz Title: Random BMW groups Abstract: BMW (Burger-Mozes-Wise) groups are a class of groups that act geometrically on the product of two infinite, regular trees. For large enough trees, these groups admit the same coarse geometry (they are all pairwise quasi-isometric), yet they can be algebraically quite different. In fact, by a celebrated result of Burger-Mozes, these groups can even be virtually simple. In this talk, I will discuss a random model for generating BMW groups and how we use ideas from this model to solve counting problems related to these groups. This is joint work with Nir Lazarovich and Alex Margolis. |
