Zassenhaus Lecture 3 - Gregory Margulis
Title: Discrete Groups of Affine TransformationsSpeaker: Gregory Margulis, Yale UniversityAbstract: About 40 years ago L.Auslander conjectured that if a discrete group H acts properly by affine transformations on R^n and R^n/H is compact then H is virtually polycyclic. i will talk about the current status of the Auslander conjecture. Another topic to be covered is affine proper actions without the assumption that the quotient space is compact.2012 Zassenhaus Lectures Poster [pdf]
