On September 1-7, 1996 a conference on Groups and Geometries took
place in lovely Siena, Italy. It brought together experts and
interested mathematicians from numerous countries. The scientific
program centered around invited exposi tory lectures; there also
were shorter research announcements, including talks by younger
researchers. The conference concerned a broad range of topics in
group theory and geometry, with emphasis on recent results and open
problems. Special attention was drawn to the interplay between
group-theoretic methods and geometric and combinatorial ones.
Expanded versions of many of the talks appear in these Proceedings.
This volume is intended to provide a stimulating collection of
themes for a broad range of algebraists and geometers. Among those
themes, represented within the conference or these Proceedings, are
aspects of the following: 1. the classification of finite simple
groups, 2. the structure and properties of groups of Lie type over
finite and algebraically closed fields of finite characteristic, 3.
buildings, and the geometry of projective and polar spaces, and 4.
geometries of sporadic simple groups. We are grateful to the
authors for their efforts in providing us with manuscripts in
LaTeX. Barbara Priwitzer and Thomas Hintermann, Mathematics Editors
of Birkhauser, have been very helpful and supportive throughout the
preparation of this volume."
