Hierarchically hyperbolic groups: an introduction

Abstract:

Hierarchically hyperbolic spaces provide a uniform framework for working with many important examples, including mapping class groups, right angled Artin groups, Teichmuller space, and others.  In this talk I'll provide an introduction to studying groups and spaces from this point of view. I'll focus on a few of my favorite "hyperbolic features" and how they manifest in many examples. This talk will include joint work with M. Hagen and A. Sisto, as well as with C. Abbott and M. Durham.
