On 15 and 16 October, seven international researchers will present their recent results in group theory at ICMAT. This is the tenth edition of Groups in Madrid, a two-day workshop that has become an annual fixture in the field.

Groups are the algebraic objects that capture the idea of symmetry, and they are of great interest in modern mathematical research. Geometric group theory studies them using tools from geometry and topology, analysing each group through the spaces on which it acts. This is the focus of Groups in Madrid, which holds its tenth edition this week at ICMAT. On 15 and 16 October, specialist researchers will give a series of talks presenting the latest advances on several of the open questions in this discipline.

The speakers are Pénélope Azuelos (University of Cambridge, UK), Shaked Bader (University of Oxford, UK), Elia Fioravanti (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, KIT, Germany), Ian Leary (University of Southampton, UK), Bruno Martelli (University of Pisa, Italy), Zachary Munro (University of Bristol, UK) and Luis Paris (University of Burgundy, France). The titles and abstracts of their talks are available on the event website.

The conference is organised by Yago Antolín (ICMAT-UCM), Javier Aramayona (ICMAT-CSIC), Caterina Campagnolo (UAM), Sam Fisher (UAM), Dominik Francoeur (UAM), Alejandra Garrido (UCM), Andrei Jaikin (ICMAT-UAM), Marco Linton (ICMAT) and Leo Margolis (ICMAT-UAM).
