SUMMARY:From simple groups to symmetries of surfaces
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rachel Skipper\, Ohio State University\n\nWe will take a tour through some families of groups of historic importance in geometric group theory, including self-similar groups and Thompson’s groups. We will discuss the rich, continually developing theory of these groups which act as symmetries of the Cantor space, and how they can be used to …
