Salle W (DMA)14.00-14.45 Stefan Witzel (Ecole Polytehchnique)15.00-15.45 Katie Vokes (IHES)15.45-16.15 coffee break16.15-16.45 Adrien Le Boudec (ENS Lyon)Stefan Witzel, Arithmetic approximate groups and their finiteness propertiesI will talk about approximate groups, a geometric generalization of groups. Approximate groups were discovered independently in various contexts and I will describe how they arise very naturally in the context of arithmetic groups. I will then explain how to extend topological finiteness properties of groups to approximate groups. This allows to make a connection betweenarithmetic groups in positive characteristic and arithmetic approximate groups in characteristic zero. The […]
