LMS Research School on Growth and Expansion in Groups

Growth and Expansion in Groups

LMS-HIMR Research School

University of Warwick

6 - 10 July 2026

Organisers: Jitendra Bajpai (Kiel), Sean Eberhard (Warwick)

The school unites experts and young researchers to examine the latest developments in Growth and Expansion in Groups. Invited speakers will present both foundational perspectives and cutting-edge results, equipping participants with a deep understanding of the field and the skills to tackle its major challenges.

Minicourses will be given by

Daniele Dona (Renyi Institute, Budapest, Hungary)
Anna Erschler (CNRS Paris, France)
Itay Glazer (Technion, Israel)
Noam Lifschitz (Hebrew University, Israel)

In addition, there will be plenary talks given by

Laura Ciobanu (Heriot-Watt University, TU Berlin)
Ben Green (University of Oxford)
Harald Helfgott (CNRS Paris, France)
Michael Magee (Durham University)

Junior participants will also have the oppotunity to give a short talk to introduce themselves and their specialism.

Registration

This event has been made possible through grants from the London Mathematical Society and the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research. Participants (apart from local participants) are asked to contribute to the funding through registration fees: £150 for research students, £250 for early-career researchers (within five years of completing PhD, excluding career breaks). Aside from travel costs, the registration fee is the total cost to the participant. Accommodation will be arranged by the MRC. Financial aid is available for participants who would otherwise be unable to attend. Local participants not requiring accommodation are exempt from fees but they should still register.

To apply to participate, please fill out this application form. Please also ask a suitable referee (e.g., your PhD advisor) to support your application by filling out the referee form. The closing date for application is Friday 12 March 2026. Unfortunately space is limited to 40 junior participants, who will be chosen on the basis of research interests, suitability of academic background, and referee support.
