Activities

An international conference to bring together experts in various fields working on the general scheme of approximation of infinite geometric or algebraic structures by finitary objects. Cases of this general approach appear in Ramsey theory, coarse geometry, geometric group theory, the theory of operator algebras and ergodic theory.

27Invariants and boundaries of spaces

This workshop is intended as the continuation of a series of highly successful international conferences centered around the analysis and geometry of gauge-theoretically defined moduli spaces.

Gauge-theoretically defined moduli spaces often exhibit interesting geometry at infinity. In many interesting cases they are non-compact, carry special metrics (often hyperkähler) and limit to certain asymptotic models. Their description requires tools from geometry and global analysis.

We intend to bring together a number of internationally renowned experts as well as younger researchers in the field.
