Recent Advances in Bounded Cohomology
Aims and Scope
A workshop on bounded cohomology and related topics will be held at the University of Regensburg, during September 26-30, 2022.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers in bounded cohomology theory and related fields and discuss recent developments. In addition to the invited talks, there will be opportunities for researchers to give contributed talks and ample time for discussions and collaboration.
The workshop will be held in a hybrid format.
