DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/GaTO/117/">A
 symptotically CAT(0) metrics and applications</a>\nby Alessandro Sisto (He
 riot-Watt) as part of Geometry and topology online\n\nLecture held in Room
  B3.02 in the Zeeman Building\, University of Warwick.\n\nAbstract\nWe con
 struct metrics that satisfy a CAT(0)-like inequality involving a sublinear
  error for a large class of groups including mapping class groups and a lo
 t of their quotients\, most 3-manifold groups\, extra-large Artin groups\,
  extension of Veech groups and multicurve stabilisers\, and many others. T
 hese metrics in turn allow one to construct contractible Rips complexes wi
 th "nice" compactifications\, and to use those to show that the groups in 
 our large class satisfy the Farrell-Jones conjecture.\n\nThis is joint wor
 k-in progress with Matt Durham and Yair Minsky.\n
