The program focuses on geometry, dynamical systems and group actions. Topics are chosen to cover the modern aspects of these areas in which research has been very active in recent times. The program will have two parts, a preschool in the first week and an advanced school during the remaining two weeks. The pre-school will be devoted to covering the necessary background material for the advanced school during the remaining two weeks. The courses for the first week of pre-school include:Discrete subgroups of Lie groups, by Pralay Chatterjee (IMSc, Chennai )Introduction to hyperbolic geometry, by Subhojoy Gupta (IISc, Bangalore)Introduction to Geometric Group Theory, by Pranab Sardar (IISER, Mohali)Crash course on Riemannian geometry, by Harish Seshadri (IISc, Bangalore)Teichmüller Theory, old and new, by Athanase Papadopoulos (Univ. Strasbourg, France)More details of the courses will be given soon on this webpage.The advanced school will consist of courses aimed at graduate students a...
