DESCRIPTION:Anastasia Khukhro\nGeometric properties of a collection of fin
 ite quotients of a group can provide information about the group if the se
 t of finite quotients is sufficiently rich. Using a metric space construct
 ed using Cayley graphs of these finite quotients\, one can exploit the con
 nections between the world of group theory and graph theory to give exampl
 es of metric spaces with interesting and often surprising properties. In t
 his talk\, we will describe some results in this direction\, and then give
  recent results concerning geometric rigidity of finite quotients​ of a 
 group (joint work with Thiebout Delabie).​
