Mini-Workshop: Trending Aspects in Group Cohomology

Description

Cohomological methods are of paramount importance in group theory. Besides providing powerful invariants for investigating groups, group cohomology as a theory encompasses many areas by the very nature of the objects it is concerned with.

This is a two-day workshop about current developments in the cohomology of infinite groups, taking place 2-3 July 2024 at the University of Lincoln, UK.

The meeting is supported and co-funded by the London Mathematical Society within Scheme 9 "Celebrating new appointments", on the occasion of the organiser's recent appointment at the University of Lincoln.

Invited Speakers

The deadline for registration is 16 June 2024.
We are currently working to secure further (limited) financial assistance to support participants. There might be some funding for accommodation (in shared double rooms), and there might be a bit extra to cover travel costs in the case of UK-based participants.

If you would like to apply for financial support, please express this in the corresponding fields of the form when registering. Priority for financial support will be given to students and young researchers, particularly those contributing talks, and otherwise will be done on a first-come-first-served basis.

A list of participants will be posted here in due time.
(If you have any queries or would like to express interest in participating, feel free to contact the organiser.)

Venue

All talks and the coffee break will take place in the Isaac Newton Building at the University of Lincoln, in room INB 1103.

The Brayford Campus of the University of Lincoln is situated down the Lincoln hill, very close to the historical city centre and at a walking distance to the central train station.
