Heilbronn Focussed Research Workshop on Conjugacy Growth

The workshop will take place in the Alan Turing building, between Oxford Street and Upper Brook Street (see map). The morning talks will be in Frank Adams seminar room 2, on the first floor.

Schedule

There is a 50 minute slot for each talk, but please aim to keep the material to 30-40 minutes, allowing time for questions and discussion. Later in the week there is time to schedule further presentations in response to ongoing discussions.
