Revista Matemática Complutense is an international generalist research journal supported by the School of Mathematics at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. It publishes high quality research and survey articles across pure and applied mathematics. Fields of interests include: Algebra, Analysis, Astronomy, Computer sciences, Differential equations and applications, Geometry and Topology, and Statistics. This broad interest is reflected in our interdisciplinary editorial board which is comprised of over 30 internationally esteemed researchers in diverse areas.The Editorial Board of Revista Matemática Complutense organizes together with the School of Mathematics of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid the “Santaló Lecture”: a yearly event where a prominent mathematician delivers a colloquium-lecture to the broad mathematical community of our Faculty, including students and colleagues from all areas. Past lecturers were: Charles T.C. Wall, Jack K. Hale, Hans Triebel, Marcelo Viana, Narayanswamy Balakrishnan, Nigel Kalton, Alfio Quarteroni, David E. Edmunds, Giuseppe Buttazzo, Juan L. Vázquez, Eduard Feireisl, Nigel Hitchin, Lajos Horváth, Hélène Esnault, Luigi Ambrosio, Ignacio Cirac, Bernd Sturmfels, Noel Cressie, María Dolores Ugarte, Carolyn S. Gordon, Christoph Thiele, Philippe Souplet, Juan José López Velázquez and Francisco Santos Leal. The Santaló Lecturer 2026 will be Claire Voisin from Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu-Paris Rive Gauche, Paris, France.
