Description for Ordered Groups and Topology (Graduate Studies in Mathematics)
hardcover. Series: Graduate Studies in Mathematics. Num Pages: 154 pages. BIC Classification: PBF; PBMW; PBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 229 x 152. .
This book deals with the connections between topology and ordered groups. It begins with a self-contained introduction to orderable groups and from there explores the interactions between orderability and objects in low-dimensional topology, such as knot theory, braid groups, and 3-manifolds, as well as groups of homeomorphisms and other topological structures. The book also addresses recent applications of orderability in the studies of codimension-one foliations and Heegaard-Floer homology. The use of topological methods in proving algebraic results is another feature of the book.
The book was written to serve both as a textbook for graduate students, containing many exercises, ... Read more

Reviews for Ordered Groups and Topology (Graduate Studies in Mathematics)
The book finds a good balance between being a resource for researchers and a graduate textbook." - Sebastian Wolfgang Hensel, Mathematical Reviews "The diligent and disciplined reader of this thin (<150 pp) book will be rewarded by a lot more than knowledge of ordered groups." - Lee P. Neuwirth, Zentralblatt MATH "Given the huge popularity enjoyed by low ... Read more
