| General Description |
The conference will be held from June 14th through June 16th 2023 at the Stevens Institute of Technology.
Group theory, computability and algorithms have been inextricably
intertwined since the fundamental papers of Max Dehn. The basis
of all undecidability results in group theory and topology is the
unsolvability of the word problem for finitely presented groups.
There are many close links between group theory and automata theory and logic.
The asymptotic-generic point of view of geometric group theory has recently led to new ideas in computational complexity and the theory of computability.
This conference will explore several aspects of these
connections.
The conference is dedicated to 80th birthday of Bob Gilman, whose work has played a central role in these developments. |
