Combinatorial and Geometric Group Theory, Edinburgh 1993 Duncan Gilbert Howie

Description: Combinatorial and Geometric Group Theory, Edinburgh 1993 Authoritative collection of surveys and papers that will be indispensable to all research workers in the area. Andrew J. Duncan (Edited by), N. D. Gilbert (Edited by), James Howie (Edited by) 9780521465953, Cambridge University Press Paperback / softback, published 3 November 1994 336 pages 22.7 x 15.2 x 2 cm, 0.486 kg The ICMS Workshop on Geometric and Combinatorial Methods in Group Theory, held at Heriot-Watt University in 1993, brought together some of the leading research workers in the subject. Some of the survey articles and contributed papers presented at the meeting are collected in this volume. The former cover a number of areas of current interest and include papers by: S. M. Gersten, R. I. Grigorchuk, P. H. Kropholler, A. Lubotzky, A. A. Razborov and E. Zelmanov. The contributed articles, all refereed, range over a wide number of topics in combinatorial and geometric group theory and related topics. The volume represents a summary of the state of knowledge of the field, and as such will be indispensable to all research workers in the area.
