This proposal aims to develop further a novel domain of computational group theory: the design of algorithms and software for finitely generated linear groups over infinite fields. Our research is motivated by the applications of linear groups in many areas of mathematics, and the high demand for algorithms to carry out practical computations. We plan to advance our recently obtained computational techniques, based on exploring Zariski density and the strong approximation property. Specifically, we will complete the design of algorithms for isometry groups over infinite domains, and apply implementations of these algorithms to solve hard open problems via computer-aided experimentation. The latter includes experiments with symplectic hypergeometric monodromy groups. All results will be new. Moreover, the algorithms will be the first-ever of their kind, satisfying the demand for practical computational methods in the areas concerned.

Two mini-courses will be given by experts in Geometric Group Theory. These are designed to give graduate students and early career researchers a research level perspective on how and why Polyhedral Products appear in Geometric Group Theory, thereby enabling the participants to engage fully in the workshop that immediately follows.

Two special cases of the polyhedral product construction have been immensely influential in geometric group theory, giving rise to at least three major families of examples of groups parametrized by flag simplicial complexes: right-angled Coxeter groups associated with the polyhedral product for pairs (,*); right-angled Artin groups associated with the polyhedral product for pairs (,*); and Bestvina-Brady groups associated with a covering space of the polyhedral product for pairs (,*). However, the interaction between toric topology and geometric group theory is largely unexplored. The purpose of this workshop is to significantly increase synergies between the two groups and establish a framework for approaching common problems and methods in a more global context.

The conference is the third meeting within prof. Le Donne's ERC project GeoMeG (Geometry of Metric Groups). The idea for the 2020 meeting is to focus on the following subjects: 1) large-scale geometry of nilpotent groups (and as the sub-Riemannian geometry appear as asymptotic cone) 2) Heintze groups (= homogeneous negatively curved manifolds) and their boundaries (which are nilpotent groups, possibly equipped with non-smooth distances) 3) geometry of solvable groups or, more generally, the large scale geometry of Lie groups.

Motives have recently been applied in several branches of representation theory, for example in geometric and modular representation theory. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers in these areas in order to foster new synergies in topics such as foundational aspects in the theory of motives, Tate motives on varieties of representation-theoretic origin, motivic aspects of the Langlands program, and motives of classifying spaces.

We are pleased to announce a one day conference dedicated to Hanna Neumann (1914 – 1971). It will be held at University of Hull, 12 June 2020.

Hanna Neumann was an outstanding mathematician whose research has significantly influenced the development of modern group theory. Her key achievements were in combinatorial group theory, and her book ‘Varieties of Groups’ (Springer 1967) is now a recognised classic. Hanna’s academic career was closely tied to the University of Hull, where she worked from 1946 until 1958. The conference includes lectures and a number of public events. Further details will be posted on the conference webpage.

The two-year cycle of conferences "GABY - Groups & Algebras in Bicocca for Young algebraists" stems from the will to support young researchers in group theory, algebra and related topics. The convention is committed to provide an introduction to those topics of group theory and algebra that may not be readily available in any institution and that cover some of the most inviting research topics. Each conference in the series consists of three mini-courses complemented by lectures, posters, and discussion sessions. In addition, we give participants the opportunity to present their research and to expand their network of contacts with other researchers in the areas of interest to them.

Since its inception, Computational Group Theory has proved to be a fertile area for the development of effective computational techniques, which have been applied in diverse areas of mathematics, science and engineering; these include coding theory, design theory, integer programming, crystallography, algebraic number theory, and topology. The aim of this meeting is to bring together a combination of leading and young researchers on computations with linear groups, for the purpose of exploring new directions for research in the light of significant recent advances.

This final workshop will aim to bring all strands of the programme together. There will be speakers covering aspects of all the main themes, focussing particularly on the simple groups: representation theory, subgroup structure, fusion systems and local group theory, computational algebra, and connections with other areas. The workshop will particularly celebrate the great influence of the work of Michael Aschbacher and Robert Guralnick on all of these themes.

G2G2-Summer School is associated with G2G2-Minisymposia of 8ECM. It belongs to the G2-series that are about strong and beautiful mathematics, especially those involving group actions on combinatorial objects. The main goal of G2G2-Summer School is to bring together experts and students to exchange ideas and to enrich their mathematical horizon. We organize two short courses and four colloquium talks to let participants see order and simplicity from possibly new perspectives and share insights with experts.

The investigation of arithmetic groups has been an active and important area of mathematical research ever since it arose in the work of Gauss, Klein, Poincare, and other famous mathematicians of the 18th and 19th centuries. New points of view have recently led to progress on classical problems, opened new directions of inquiry, and revealed unexpected connections with other areas of mathematics. The workshop will bring together experts in the area, researchers in related fields, and young mathematicians who wish to learn about the most recent advances and the most promising directions for the future of the field.

Symmetries appear naturally in various areas of mathematics and the sciences, ranging from geometry, numbers, differential equations to quantum mechanics. The more symmetries there are, the better we can grasp the objects by group theoretic approaches. Branching problems investigate how a large symmetries break down into smaller ones, such as fusion rules, via a mathematical formulation using the language of representations and their restrictions. Branching problems have a history of study of over 80 years. In recent years there was an outburst of research activities focus- ing on the restriction of continuous symmetries in the infinite-dimensional cases, for which new geometric and analytic methods have been developed. We highlight branching problems of infinite-dimensional representations of real, p-adic and adelic reductive groups, the former carrying analytic features and the latter carrying number-theoretic features, which might lead us to a (conjecturally) unified phenomenon. A major goal of the Workshop is to capitalize on this momentum and to gather researchers from diverse mathematical disciplines to encourage new collaborations, and achieve progress in solving open questions in number theory, geometry and physics.

In this two-week program, we explore the interactions between geometric group theory, geometric structures and Anosov representations. Geometric group theory, in the broadest sense, seeks to understand the structure of groups through their actions on objects with geometric meaning. Conversely, one can take a known group and attempt to understand all its geometrically meaningful actions. One natural notion that arises in this setting is an Anosov representation, which came about as an attempt to describe what it means for the action of a discrete group on a homogeneous space to be geometrically well behaved. Also, in his Erlangen program, Felix Klein viewed geometry as a space which is invariant under a group of transformations. This gave rise to the notion of a geometric structure, which gives yet another notion of a geometrically meaningful action of a group on a homogeneous space.

The conference will bring together leading experts and research scholars to exchange and share their experience and research results on all aspects of mathematical physics and to promote transference of knowledge at the crossroads of mathematics and physics. There will be plenary sessions (30 to 40min), short talks and posters for student presentations. The scope of the conference will be quite broad, including in particular the following topics: polyanalytic function theory, harmonic analysis, representation theory and quantization, Clifford analysis and applications, coherent states, time-frequency analysis and wavelets, orthogonal polynomials, special functions and q-analogues, Hopf algebras and quantum groups, geometric mechanics and symmetry, exact solvable systems, spectral theory and quantum systems, topological methods. With the goal of encouraging communication and collaborative research between the participants, a feature of ICMMP2021 will be the inclusion of specific time-slots for scientific discussion.
