Workshop on Hyperbolic Geometry and Geometric Group Theory

May 23-27, 2006
Fields Institute, Toronto

The theme of the conference will be hyperbolic geometry and deformation
theory,
geometric group theory and coarse geometry.

Principal speakers:

Ian Agol (UIC)
Mladen Bestvina (Utah)
Francis Bonahon (USC): Local representations of the quantum Teichmuller space
Mario Bonk (Michigan): Quasiconformal Geometry of Fractals
Brian Bowditch (Southampton): Ends of hyperbolic 3-manifolds
Jeff Brock (Brown)
Ken Bromberg (Utah): Drilling, grafting and the ending lamination theorerm
Richard Canary (Michigan)
David Gabai (Princeton): Volumes of Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds
Misha Kapovich (UC Davis)
Steve Kerckhoff (Stanford): The Other Geometries
Lee Mosher (Rutgers Newark)
Juan Souto (Chicago): Rank of the fundamental group and geometry of
hyperbolic 3-manifolds
Mark Sapir (Vanderbilt)
