ICMS 2014 - ICM Satellite Conference on Geometric Group Theory & Geometric Structures

This conference will cover various topics in the interplays between geometric group theory and geometric structures. The topics in geometric structures will include discrete subgroups of Lie groups, hyperbolic geometry, Teichmüller theory and representation varieties. In geometric group theory, the topics will include bounded cohomology, automorphisms of free and surface groups and the structures of hyperbolic and CAT(0) groups.
