SUMMARY:Conference (CIRM\, Luminy\, Marseille): Aspects of Non-Positive and
  Negative Curvature in Group Theory (ANR DAGGER)
DESCRIPTION:Conference: INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE\nThis conference will focu
 s on applications of non-positive and negative curvature to geometric grou
 p theory. The most well known examples of this are δ-hyperbolic and CAT(0
 )-groups. More recently\, some of the techniques that have been used to st
 udy these groups have been imported to study groups that have some feature
 s of negative curvature but aren’t themselves negatively curved. For exa
 mple\, the mapping class group is neither δ-hyperbolic nor CAT(0) but maj
 or progress has been obtained in on our understanding of this group by stu
 dying its action on the δ-hyperbolic curve complex. A related group is Ou
 t(Fn)\, the group of automorphisms of the rank n free group and similar pr
 ogram is underway to understand it. More generally\, large classes of grou
 ps have been identified that have certain features of negative curvature a
 nd this has been exploited to prove results which were heretofore only kno
 wn in special cases. This conference will bring together a distinguished i
 nternational group of mathematicians to report on current work and to expl
 ore future directions in this active and expanding area of research.\nThe 
 conference will also be an opportunity to celebrate the Mladen Bestvina’
 s contributions to mathematics.\n-\nSpeakers:\n- Yael Algom-Kfir (Universi
