Written on 04.04.2025 15:11 by Gabriela Weitze-Schmithuesen
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
