This 5 day workshop will concentrate on the area between operator
algebras, ergodic theory and geometric group theory. The purpose of the
workshop is to encourage interactions between these areas, with
expository lectures aimed at a general audience and accessible to
advanced graduate students.
A timetable of the workshop is available
here.
The following expository lectures have been organised:
- Nicolas Monod: Rigidity and ergodic theory (5 lectures)
- Pierre Julg: The Baum-Connes conjecture (3 lectures)
- Damien Gaboriau: Measurable equivalence relations (2 lectures)
- Stefaan Vaes: Rigidity and von Neumann algebras (2 lectures)
