Random Nilpotent Groups Professor Tullia Dymarz In group theory, any group can be defined by specifying generators and relations. But for infinite groups, when trying to define a model for a generic/random group, there are many options for how to... Read More
Rigidity of lattices in Lie groups Professor Sebastian Hurtado Lattices in Lie groups are of importance in Geometry (providing examples of tilings and manifolds with many symmetries),Number Theory (via arithmetic groups), among other areas. We will attempt to explain a... Read More
Applications of model theory to functional transcendence Over the last decades there has been a surge in interest around functional transcendence results, in part due to their connection with special points conjectures in number theory. The approaches to proving those... Read More
