This school will provide an introduction to the geometry of flat, hyperbolic and random surfaces, highlighting the questions that can be asked in parallel in the three scopes. It is mainly intended for young scientists at the beginning of their PhD studies, proposing research directions ranging from dynamics over geometric group theory and random geometry to intersection theory.

Cette école propose une introduction à la géométrie des surfaces plates, hyperboliques et aléatoires, en mettant en évidence les questions qui peuvent être posées en parallèle dans ces trois cadres. Elle s’adresse aux jeunes doctorants, et propose des directions de recherche allant de la dynamique à la théorie géométrique des groupes et à la géométrie aléatoire, jusqu’à la théorie des intersections.
