Description for Topics in Combinatorial Group Theory
Paperback. Combinatorial group theory is a loosely defined subject, with close connections to topology and logic. The objective of combinatorial group theory is the systematic development of algebraic techniques to settle such questions. This title features notes that deals with many topics in combinatorial group theory. Series: Lectures in Mathematics. ETH Zurich. Num Pages: 178 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBC; PBG; PBPD; PBV. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 233 x 155 x 9. Weight in Grams: 580.
Combinatorial group theory is a loosely defined subject, with close connections to topology and logic. With surprising frequency, problems in a wide variety of disciplines, including differential equations, automorphic functions and geometry, have been distilled into explicit questions about groups, typically of the following kind: Are the groups in a given class finite (e.g., the Burnside problem)? Finitely generated? Finitely presented? What are the conjugates of a given element in a given group? What are the subgroups of that group? Is there an algorithm for deciding for every pair of groups in a given class whether they are isomorphic or ... Read more
