NEGATIVE IMMERSIONS, COHERENCE AND THE SURFACE GROUP CONJECTURE

The centrepiece of the workshop will consist of the following three minicourses:

Virtual fibring from a homological viewpoint (Dawid Kielak, University of Oxford)
L^2-invariance and the coherence property (Marco Linton, ICMAT)
Surfaces and cubulated groups (Henry Wilton, University of Cambridge)

In addition to the minicourses there will be three 75' morning talks to complement the minicourses and seven 45' afternoon talks. Monday afternoon there will be two sessions of lightning talks.

Morning speakers:

Macarena Arenas (ICMAT)
Monika Kudlinska (University of Cambridge)
Pablo Sanchez-Peralta (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid)

Afternoon speakers: TBD

Lightning talks speakers: TBD

Here is the schedule from 2025 for you to get an idea. As in previous years the talks will be in the Centro Polivalente, very near the Hotel Isolabella. If you have not registered on Sunday evening you can do it on Monday morning at 9:00am in the Centro Polivalente. Please check the map of the island to see how to get there. (Here is also a picture of the Centro Polivalente during a talk of the European Federalist Movement: there were not whiteboards as we have bought them after the picture was taken.)

The conference will run from Monday, September 6th at 9:30am (begin of first minicourse) until Saturday, September 11th at 11:30am.
