Course Description:   The course focus on some important examples in geometric group theory.  It will be based on a partial draft of a planned book, Infinite group actions on polyhedra.  Topics will include:  quasi-isometries, CAT(0) geometry, Cayley complexes and word metrics, simple complexes of groups, CAT(0) cube complexes and CAT(0) polyhedra, Gromov polyhedra, graph products of groups, Coxeter groups and Artin groups, the Davis complex and the Salvetti complex, Bestvina-Brady groups, hyperbolization techniques, simple groups acting on products of trees, and the relationship between special cube complexes and right-angled Artin groups.
