Summary
The international conference Building(s) in Aarhus will be held on September 1-2, 2022, at the Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies (AIAS) and its local organizer is Corina Ciobotaru, Assist. Prof at AIAS and the Department of Mathematics at Aarhus University. A mathematical building is a revolutionary notion in Mathematics invented by Jacques Tits in the late 20th Century as a means to describe and give a complete classification of simple algebraic groups over an arbitrary field. Since then the concept of buildings found applications to many areas of Mathematics and Physics. The conference is dedicated to Jacques Tits and aims to build new connections between local Maths researchers at AU and the international leading experts in the field invited at the conference.
