Computational problems about 3-manifolds, associated groups and varieties

October 4–5, 2025 at Rutgers University, Newark

The focus of the workshop is the interactions of 3-manifold topology and geometry, and the study of 3-manifold groups and character and representation varieties with computational topology and theoretical computer science. We also welcome related topics!

There will be several introductory lectures and longer research talks, and some short (lightning) talks. There also will be ample time for discussions and informal interactions.

The workshop is funded by NSF CAREER grant DMS 2142487.
