Presentation of the trimester
This term focuses on rigidity of group actions with some focus on issues that arise out of Zimmer's groundbreaking work in the 1980's. Areas of interest range from local and global rigidity of group actions to special rigidity phenomena in small dimensions to symmetry groups of geometric structures to measure rigidity results for quite general group actions with hyperbolicity.
This broad area has seen a very large number of dramatic breakthroughs in recent years. The goal of the term is to bring together experts and people in adjacent areas to share ideas and techniques and to foster additional breakthroughs. There will also be a significant component of the term dedicated to introducing younger participants to the broad area.
Introductory School:
April 15 to 19, 2024: Rigidity, Dynamics and Geometric Structures, held at CIRM, Marseille
Workshops:
April 29 to Saturday, May 4, 2024: Low Dimensional Actions (IHP, Paris)
May 27 to 31, 2024: Group Actions with Hyperbolicity and Measure Rigidity (IHP, Paris)
June 10 to 14, 2024: Actions of Large Groups, Geometric Structures, and the Zimmer Program (IHP, Paris)
Mini-courses:
Mini-courses will be held in amphitheater Darboux in IHP. The standard format will be three 2h long lectures during one week for each mini-course. More details will be updated soon.
