GROWTH OF GROUPS IN MONTEVIDEO

Mini-workshop on growth of groups and applications

February 6th-17th, 2017

We will study geometric growth of groups acting by isometries on a negatively curved space and several interpretations, its relation to the entropy of the geodesic flow and to the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set.

Mini-course: Françoise Dal'Bo

                     “Growth of Fuchsian groups and applications”

Thematic study/discussion sessions:

• Patterson-Sullivan theory (Sébastien Alvarez)

• Hausdorff dimension (Matías Carrasco)

• Growth and amenability (Pablo Lessa)

• Growth and foliations (Matilde Martínez)

• Hitchin representations and critical exponents (Rafael Potrie)

• Entropy of geodesic flows (Felipe Riquelme)
