Algebraic fiberings of groups

We say that a finitely generated group algebraically fibers if it admits a homomorphism onto the integers with finitely generated kernel. This is a group theoretic analogue of the manifold property of being a fibre bundle over a circle. In this talk, I will give an overview of this and related notions in group theory and geometric topology, and discuss my joint work with Norin and Wise on algebraic fiberings of right-angled Coxeter groups. 

***** There will be coffee, tea and snacks at PIMS from 2:30 PM to 3 PM.
