Geometric Group Theory (Geometrische Gruppentheorie)

Dear all,

I uploaded a solution for the first exercise sheet here in the CMS. If you have questions concerning the solutions or any other topic, you are wolcome to come to SR 6 on Monday at 8:30 (our regular time).

If you want me to correct your solutions just bring them to the exercise/question sessions.

Have a nice weekend!

Manuel

Dear participants of the lecture GGT,

since the lecture is starting next week here are some first information:

The first lecture is on Monday, April 7, at 14:00 in SR 10 (Building E 2.4). In the first lecture we will determine the date for the exercise sessions.

The class begins with a brief crash course on foundational concepts from algebraic topology, which we will need for the lectures, conducted by Manuel Kany. Specifically, fundamental groups and covering theory will be introduced. Subsequently, we will embark on the core geometric group theory, starting with a comprehensive overview of the entire lecture series. Our first topic will be Cayley graphs, a central theme of geometric group theory.

 

Best,

Gabriela Weitze-Schmithüsen
