Welcome to the First Online Seminar dedicated to Group Theory and Non-Commutative Algebra.

The seminar presents a unique opportunity for mathematicians from around the world to communicate and share their ideas on a regular basis without leaving the office or even home. Participants include faculty and students from US, Canada, Australia, Europe and Russia.

If you are a first-time participant please visit the technical advice page.

"Invariant random subgroups"

Abstract:

An invariant random subgroup (IRS) of a group G is a conjugation invariant probability distribution on the space of (closed) subgroups of G. This notion has attracted a lot of attention in the past few years as it seems to provide new and useful connections between measurable group theory, probability and combinatorics. I will survey this area and present my new results showing that there is a large "zoo" of IRS's of the free group.
