DESCRIPTION:The JSJ decomposition of an object in a class of a topological
  spaces or groups is a maximal canonical way of cutting it up into simpler
  pieces. These were introduced in the study of 3-manifolds and have since 
 been applied in more general situations. In this talk we shall first look 
 at some general definitions and results before specialising to the case of
  hyperbolic groups and the Bowditch JSJ decomposition.
