The theory of arithmetic groups deals with groups of matrices whose entries are integers, or more generally, S-integers in a global field. This notion has a long history, going back to the work of Gauss on integral quadratic forms. The modern theory of arithmetic groups retains its close connection to number theory (for example, through the theory of automorphic forms) but also relies on a variety of methods from the theory of algebraic groups, particularly over local and global fields (this area is often referred to as the arithmetic theory of algebraic groups), Lie groups, algebraic geometry and various aspects of group theory (primarily, homological methods and the theory of profinite groups). At the same time, results about arithmetic groups have numerous applications in differential and hyperbolic geometry (as the fundamental groups of many important manifolds often turn out to be arithmetic), combinatorics (expander graphs), and other areas. There are also intriguing connections and parallels (which are currently not so well-understood) between arithmetic groups and other important classes of groups such as Kac-Moody groups, automorphism groups of free groups and mapping class groups. The objective of the workshop was to survey the most significant results in the theory of arithmetic groups obtained primarily in the last five years in order to make the new concepts and methods accessible to a broader group of mathematicians whose interests are closely related to arithmetic groups. The workshop brought together 34 mathematicians, from the world’s leading experts to recent PhD recipients and graduate students, working on a variety of problems involving arithmetic groups. This resulted in very active exchanges between and after the lectures. The scientific program of the workshop consisted of 3 mini-courses (two 45-min lectures each), 17 survey and research talks 30 or 45 min one of which (by Bertrand Rémy) was not planned in advance, a Q&A session, and an open problem session. The subjects of the mini-courses were: Homological finiteness properties of arithmetic groups in positive characteristic (Kevin Wortman), Pseudo-reductive groups and their arithmetic applications (Brian Conrad), and Towards an arithmetic Kac-Moody theory (Ralf Köhl). The mini-course on homological finiteness properties contained an account of a major breakthrough in the
