This path will lead us to more recent results and current research.\n\nTitle: KolloquiumGRK: On group actions and expansion\nSpeaker: Jun.-Prof. Federico Vigolo\nOrganizer: Fakultät für Mathematik und Informatik\nContact: Linda Haber\, linda.haber@mathematik.uni-goettingen.de\, 0551/39.27752\n URL:https://events.goettingen-campus.de/event?eventId=29097 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
