TextSeries: London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series ; no. 36Publisher: Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 1979Description: 1 online resource (408 pages) : digital, PDF file(s)Content type: text Media type: computer Carrier type: online resourceISBN: 9781107325449 (ebook)Additional physical formats: Print version: : No titleDDC classification: 512/.22 LOC classification: QA171 | .H69Online resources: Click here to access online Summary: In 1977 several eminent mathematicians were invited to Durham to present papers at a short conference on homological and combinatorial techniques in group theory. The lectures, published here, aimed at presenting in a unified way new developments in the area. Group theory is approached from a geometrical viewpoint and much of the material has not previously been published. The various ways in which topological ideas can be used in group theory are also brought together. The volume concludes with an extensive set of problems, ranging from explicit questions demanding detailed calculation to fundamental questions motivating research in the area. These lectures will be of interest mainly to researchers in pure mathematics but will also prove useful in connection with relevant postgraduate courses.
