The book series will feature volumes of selected contributions from workshops and conferences in all areas of current research activity in mathematics. Besides an overall evaluation, at the hands of the publisher, of the interest, scientific quality, and timeliness of each proposal, every individual contribution will be refereed to standards comparable to those of leading mathematics journals. It is hoped that this series will thus propose to the research community well-edited and authoritative reports on newest developments in the most interesting and promising areas of mathematical research today.

Preface
This is a collection of invited articles by some active researchers in the interface of the theory of finite groups and their representations, incidence geometries and the theory of buildings. The collection includes eight articles by some of the invited speakers at the Satellite Conference on “Buildings, Finite Geometries and Groups” held at the Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore Centre, during August 29–31, 2010. The request to the authors of the chapters of this volume was to discuss the latest developments in the topics mentioned above, with emphasis on the basic questions of current interest. This was also the objective of the conference. I would like to thank all the authors for kindly writing the articles and many colleagues who carefully refereed the chapters in time. I also wish to thank the speakers and the participants at the Satellite Conference. This conference was one of several such conferences organized at various universities
