Month: May 2008

Date: May 26--30

Name: Discrete Groups and Geometric Structures, with Applications III

Location: K. U. Leuven Campus, Kortrijk, Belgium.

Description

This 5th edition of a conference series, will focus on research topics related to discrete groups and geometric structures in a broad sense and from a multi-disciplinary point of view. Plenary invited lectures and short lectures, upon proposal of participants, will consist the main framework of the meeting. In particular, the meeting also welcomes Ph.D. students and junior postdoc researchers.

Topics

Of interest to the conference include e.g., geometric group theory, discrete subgroups of Lie groups, crystallographic groups and their generalisations, group actions on manifolds and their invariants, mapping class groups and their properties, isometric actions of groups, applications of any of these topics.
