  • 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 Huang
    Location: Seminar Room 2 Chrystal MacMillan Building (near Bayes on George Square)

    ------------------------------

    Title: K(pi,1)-conjecture via combinatorial non-positive curvature
    Abstract: 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.
