Speaker:
Guihua Gong (University of Puerto Rico)
Date and Time:
Monday, November 12, 2007 - 3:00pm to 3:45pm
Location:
The Fields Institute
Abstract:
In this talk, I will present the following results: Strong Novikov Conjecture for a residually finite group is essentially equivalent to the Coarse Geometric Novikov Conjecture for a certain metric space associated to the group. This is a joint work with Q. Wang and G. Yu.
