Aims & Scope:<\/strong>
\nThe conference will highlight the close interrelationships between geometry and topology in low-dimensions and focus specifically on the powerful negative curvature and combinatorial techniques that have driven much of the research in low-dimensional topology in recent decades and are now revealing applications in contexts far removed from their original conception. Topics represented at the conference will include, but are not limited to, hyperbolic 3-manifolds, moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces, the geometry and topology of curves on surfaces, surface bundles, Gromov-hyperbolic simplicial complexes, and CAT(0) cube complexes. The aim of the conference is to bring young researchers together with leading experts who have made substantial contributions to these areas and to provide a platform to present recent results and future directions of research.<\/p>\n
