20Compactifications and Local-to-Global Structure for Bruhat-Tits Buildings

30/09/2019 | Conference

Buildings 2019

The Buildings conference is a conference series in its 26th year whith a focus on the geometry of spaces of non-positive curvature and in particular the geometry of and group actions on buildings.

Other topics represented in the conference are Kac-Moody geometry, non-compact type symmetric spaces, Coxeter groups, Artin groups (including braid groups) and lattices in locally compact groups. The conference aims in particular at young researchers in the area and fosters collaboration between researchers in closely related fields.

AUSTRALIAN-GERMAN WORKSHOP ON DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY IN THE LARGE

In the first week of the program, we plan an international conference to highlight recent advances in global Riemannian and metric geometry, topology, and geometric analysis to foster communication between experts and early career researchers from Australia and abroad and identify directions to set the stage for future advances.

 

In the second week, we plan to hold the first Australian-German workshop on differential geometry with Australian and German geometers who participated in the conference, focussing on new problems and potential directions of future research that came up in the first week.

 

Organisers: Owen Dearricott ( University of Melbourne), Diarmuid Crowley (University of Melbourne), Thomas Leistner (University of Adelaide), Yuri Nikolayevsky (LaTrobe University), Wilderich Tuschmann (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology).
