Groups and Their Actions

Groups and Their Actions

9 - 13 July, 2012, Będlewo

The conference "Groups and Their Actions" 2012 continues the tradition of group theoretic conferences "Groups and Group Rings" which took place in Poland in 1993-2005 and "Groups and Their Actions" 2007, 2010 (in 2005, 2007, 2010 placed in Będlewo).

The discussed topics included: special aspects of finite p-groups, including combinatorial and Lie methods in this theory; geometric and combinatorial methods in important classes of infinite groups; groups of automorphisms of trees; linear groups; varieties of groups; unit groups of rings, with a special emphasis on unit groups of group rings and related problems. The conference was organized and supported by:

  1. Stefan Banach International Mathematical Center
  2. Institute of Mathematics of Silesian University of Technology (Gliwice, Poland)
  3. Institute of Mathematics of the University of Warsaw (Warsaw, Poland)

The next conference in a series is to be organized in 2015 in Będlewo.
