The conference will focus on a variety of topics in geometric
and combinatorial group theory as well as on
algorithmic and computational problems involving groups,
with applications to cryptography.
More specifically, this includes combinatorial,
asymptotic and probabilistic methods in group theory
and algebraic cryptography, group actions, hyperbolicity,
quasi-isometries, isoperimetric functions, growth,
asymptotic invariants, random walks, etc.
This conference is a sequel to the conferences on
"Geometric and Asymptotic Group Theory with Applications"
that took place in
Manresa (Barcelona) in 2006,
and in Dortmund in 2007.
