Description for Self-Similar Groups (Mathematical Surveys and Monographs)
Hardcover. Self-similar groups (groups generated by automata) initially appeared as examples of groups that are easy to define but have exotic properties like nontrivial torsion, intermediate growth, etc. This book studies the self-similarity phenomenon in group theory and shows its relationship with dynamical systems. Series: Mathematical Surveys and Monographs. Num Pages: 231 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 262 x 184 x 19. Weight in Grams: 654.
Self-similar groups (groups generated by automata) initially appeared as examples of groups that are easy to define but have exotic properties like nontrivial torsion, intermediate growth, etc. This book studies the self-similarity phenomenon in group theory and shows its intimate relationship with dynamical systems and more classical self-similar structures, such as fractals, Julia sets, and self-affine tilings. This connection is established through the central topics of the book, which are the notions of the iterated monodromy group and limit space.A wide variety of examples and different applications of self-similar groups to dynamical systems and vice versa are discussed. In particular, ... Read more
