Amenability, Coarse Embeddability and Fixed Point Properties
Date: 6 - 9 December 2016
Location: MSRI
Event type: Workshop
Organisers: Goulnara Arzhantseva (Vienna), Cornelia Drutu (Oxford), Graham Niblo (Southampton), Piotr Nowak (Polish Academy of Sciences)
The main theme of the workshop is the spectrum of analytic properties running from Kazhdan’s property (T) at one end to von Neumann’s amenability at the other, that forms a foundational organizing structure for infinite groups and spaces. These properties can be described both analytically, via unitary representation theory, and geometrically, using embedding properties for discrete spaces. Connections with probability and combinatorics will likewise be addressed during the meeting.
