Among the many properties one would wish a favourite group to have is coherence: the property that every finitely generated subgroup is finitely presented. Among our old friends, the 2-dimensional hyperbolic groups, coherence has an empirical connection with Euler characteristic: those groups which are known to be coherent have nonpositive Euler characteristic. In this talk I will discuss imminent work with Kielak & Kropholler which makes this connection probabilistic: a random group of negative Euler characteristic is coherent with high probability.

This talk is part of the Geometric Group Theory (GGT) Seminar series.
