Workshop

Hot Topics: Artin Groups and Arrangements - Topology, Geometry, and Combinatorics March 11, 2024 - March 15, 2024
Parent Program: --
Series: Hot Topic, Hot Topic
Location: MSRI: Simons Auditorium, Atrium
Organizers Christin Bibby (Louisiana State University), Ruth Charney (Brandeis University), Giovanni Paolini (California Institute of Technology), Mario Salvetti (Università di Pisa)
Description
Affine arrangement
The affine line arrangement of type C with different lattices and toric arrangements arising from it.
This workshop brings together experts from different areas to discuss and foster collaboration on several topics of current interest related to Artin groups such as the K(π, 1) conjecture, hyperplane arrangements and abelian arrangements, combinatorial structures associated with dual Coxeter systems, and complexes of nonpositive curvature.
