The 9th KAIST Geometric Topology Fair will focus on the topics from geometric group theory. Aimed at graduate students and early career researchers, the lecture series and talks will survey foundation and recent developments in geometric group theory.
This workshop is supported by National Research Fund of Korean Government, grant 2010-0023515 and 2010-0027001.
