This is the second workshop in the Winter of Disconnectedness programme, 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.
Register for the conference on our Eventbrite page. Registration fees are as follows:
AMSI Members: $250
Non-AMSI Members: $300
The first week of the workshop will be held at the Harbourview Function Centre in Newcastle, and the second week will be held in the Purdue Room at the University of Newcastle's Callaghan campus.
You can also download the conference programme as a PDF.
