This is the organizational meeting for the Groups, Geometry, and Topology seminar (formerly known as GGD/GEAR) and has the following agenda: (1) introductions (2) discuss local speakers for the coming term, and (3) go to lunch. Normally, seminar will run 11am to noon but we'll start at 11:30am as 1 and 2 should be short.
All faculty, postdocs, and students interested in low-dimensional topology and geometry, geometric group theory, Higgs bundles, hyperbolic geometry, character varieties, Floer homology, and/or lunch are welcome.
