This program will be organized around the areas of Geometry and Dynamics, which encompasses a large portion of Group Theory (finite or otherwise) in its proximity. The program will have two components:(i) Advanced School, Dec 3 - 12, 2012(ii) Discussion Meeting, Dec 13 - 16, 2012The Advanced School will be aimed mostly at young graduate and post-doctoral students.The list of topics in the school includesLorentzian GeometryGeometry of negatively curved spacesGeometry of Discrete GroupsArithmetic of Hyperbolic ManifoldsLattices in Lie groupsGeometry and Dynamics of real and complex Kleinian groupsFlows on Homogeneous spacesThe courses in the advanced school will be delivered by renowned experts in the above areas. The lectures will cover basic background of the theory and will bring the audience up-to-date with research on these topics. There will also be problem and discussion sessions everyday.The Discussion Meeting will lead to the frontiers of current research and trends in the fiel...
