Winter of
Disconnectedness
June-August, 2016
In June-August 2016, the Universities of Newcastle, Melbourne and Sydney are hosting the `Winter of
Disconnectedness', a series of workshops and seminars on the topic of totally disconnected, locally compact (t.d.l.c.) groups. The current state of
knowledge of simple t.d.l.c. groups and efforts towards their classification will be a theme running through the program, although simple groups will
not be the only focus.
