Discrete and Continuous Structures in Mathematics

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together in an informal gathering of colleagues to discuss possible research directions and connections in the context of establishing a long-term institutional collaboration between Budapest, Yale and Leipzig.

16:00 - 17:00	Felix Klein Colloquium at University Leipzig : Wolfgang Lueck (Bonn) - Survey on aspherical manifolds We give a survey over aspherical closed manifolds. Aspherical is the purely homotopy theoretic condition that the universal covering is contractible. There are many well-known examples such as closed Riemannian manifolds with non-positive sectional curvature, but also very exotic examples such as closed aspherical manifolds that do not admit a triangulation. We discuss some prominent conjectures, e.g., the Borel Conjecture about the topological rigidity, and the Singer Conjecture about the concentration of L^2-Betti numbers in the middle dimension. The main point is to get a better understanding why the condition aspherical has so many consequences about the topology, geometry, algebra, and analysis about such manifolds. see more information
