On 17 and 18 October 2024 the ICMAT will host the eighth edition of the Groups in Madrid conference, a conference devoted to recent developments in the field of group theory. On this occasion, the meeting will deal with new results and open problems on hyperbolic Coxeter groups, fast generation of algebraic structures, algebraic varieties on free groups, homotopy groups, generating sets in finite groups or binary actions of almost simple groups.

The programme of the event includes talks by Ruth Kellerhals (Université de Fribourg, Switzerland) – ‘Growth of hyperbolic Coxeter groups and Salem numbers’, Lars Louder (University College London, UK) – ‘An explicit upper bound on the number of ways to write a commutator’, Urban Jezernik (University of Ljubljana, Slovenia) – ‘Rapid generation of simple structures’, Chloé Perin (Einstein Institute for Mathematics of the Hebrew University, Israel) – ‘Algebraic groups over the free group’, Derek Holt (Warwick University, UK) – ‘Computing a smallest sized generating set in a finite group’, Nick Gill (The Open University, UK) – ‘The binary actions of the finite almost simple groups’ and Laurent Bartholdi (Universität des Saarlandes, Germany) – ‘Dimension series and homotopy groups of spheres’.

The organisers of the event are Yago Antolín (ICMAT-UCM), Javier Aramayona (ICMAT-CSIC), Caterina Campagnolo (ICMAT-UAM),  Alejandra Garrido (ICMAT-UCM), Andrei Jaikin (ICMAT-UAM) and Leo Margolis (ICMAT-UAM).
