A  SPECIAL  WORKSHOP

on

ALGEBRAIC GEOMETRY
OVER GROUPS

will be held on

17-22 June, 2001

in the

Amado Mathematics Building

 
 The workshop will be devoted to the recent work of Zlil Sela on the theory of algebraic geometry over groups, with a particular focus on the Tarski problem regarding the elementary equivalence of free groups. All lectures will take place in the morning with the afternoons being free for informal discussions.
