There has been a flurry of recent activity around this conjecture, in particular relating it to the family of so called twisted Brin-Thompson groups. In this talk I will give some background on the conjecture, give a gentle introduction to twisted Brin-Thompson groups, and then discuss various recent results of mine, including some joint with combinations of Jim Belk, Collin Bleak, Francesco Fournier-Facio, James Hyde, and Francesco Matucci. \\ </WRAP> |

In this talk, we use this idea to explore the relationship between (\infty,1)-categories with a monoidal structure and (\infty,2)-categories with one object. This exploration relies on the model structure of simplicial and \Theta_2-spaces. The talk is designed to be self-contained, requiring no prior knowledge of the aforementioned categories. \\ </WRAP> |

If time permits, I will also explain why this strategy goes well with quasi-isometries and implies genericity of Morse elements for groups quasi-isometric to (many) 3-manifold groups and special cubical groups. \\ </WRAP> |
