Edge seminar: Georgios Dimitroglou Rizell (Uppsala University) -- A Floer theory for singular Lagrangians
June 12, 2026 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Bayes 5.46Abstract: We define a Floer homology for singular Lagrangians that admit the structure of a Weinstein skeleton, and discuss its invariance properties and some applications.

Edge seminar: Nancy Eagles (UC Berkeley) -- Invariants of Legendrians in thickened convex surfaces
June 12, 2026 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Bayes 5.46Abstract: Recently, myself and Zijian Rong defined a new differential graded algebra associated to Legendrian knots in thickened convex surfaces \Sigma \times \mathbb{R}. The algebra is defined in the same spirit as the Chekanov-Eliashberg DGA for Legendrians in \mathbb{R}^3, but incorporates the data of the dividing set \Gamma of \Sigma. The algebra is generated by (countably many)…

GGT: Jingyin Huang
June 17, 2026 1:15 pm - 3:00 pm
Seminar Room 2 (Chrystal MacMillan Building)Speaker(s):
Dear all,
The Groups, Geometry, and Topology (GGT) seminar will take place Wednesday June 17th at 3:00pm; details below. There will also be a short pre-talk at 2:15 by the speaker in the same room.Speaker: Jingyin HuangLocation: Seminar Room 2 Chrystal MacMillan Building (near Bayes on George Square)------------------------------
Title: K(pi,1)-conjecture via combinatorial non-positive curvatureAbstract: I will outline an approach to the K(pi,1)-conjecture for Artin groups, by constructing actions of certain Artin groups on complexes that satisfy suitable notion of combinatorial non-positive curvature. In particular, I will discuss how this would imply the K(pi,1)-conjecture for all 3-dimensional Artin groups and some higher dimensional ones. This is based on joint work with Piotr Przytycki and joint work with Nima Hoda. -

AGQ International Conference - Groups, Dynamics and Operator Algebras Conference
August 24, 2026 - August 28, 2026
School of Mathematics and Statistics, 132 University Pl, Glasgow G12 8TA, UKThe aim of the conference is to bring together researchers from geometric group theory, dynamics, and operator algebras to highlight and strengthen connections among our areas. The conference will include both research talks and introductory mini-courses, making it especially beneficial for early-career researchers. There will also be opportunities for lightning talks and poster presentations.
