Description for Lectures on Buildings
Paperback. In mathematics, 'buildings' are geometric structures that represent groups of Lie type over an arbitrary field. This book presents an introduction to mathematical buildings. It is suitable for those doing research or teaching courses on Lie-type groups, on finite groups, or on discrete groups. Num Pages: 216 pages, 42 figures. BIC Classification: PB. Category: (UF) Further/Higher Education. Dimension: 230 x 153 x 15. Weight in Grams: 384.
In mathematics, 'buildings' are geometric structures that represent groups of Lie type over an arbitrary field. This concept is critical to physicists and mathematicians working in discrete mathematics, simple groups, and algebraic group theory, to name just a few areas. Almost twenty years after its original publication, Mark Ronan's "Lectures on Buildings" remains one of the best introductory texts on the subject. A thorough, concise introduction to mathematical buildings, it contains problem sets and an excellent bibliography that will prove invaluable to students new to the field. "Lectures on Buildings" will find a grateful audience among those doing research or ... Read more

Reviews for Lectures on Buildings
"Ronan's account of the classification of affine buildings is both interesting and stimulating, and his book is highly recommended to those who already have some knowledge and enthusiasm for the theory of buildings." - Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society "[This book] belongs in every research library. Ronan's book will do more [than other books on the subject] to initiate ... Read more
