This two-volume book contains selected papers from the international conference 'Groups 1993 Galway / St Andrews' which was held at University College Galway in August 1993. The wealth and diversity of group theory is represented in these two volumes. As with the Proceedings of the earlier 'Groups-St Andrews' conferences it is hoped that the articles in these Proceedings will, with their many references, prove valuable both to experienced researchers and also to new postgraduates interested in group theory.

This first volume of the two-volume book contains selected papers from the international conference 'Groups St Andrews 2001 in Oxford' which was held at the University of Oxford in August 2001. Five main lecture courses were given at the conference, and articles based on their lectures form a substantial part of the Proceedings. This volume contains the contributions from Marston Conder (Auckland), Persi Diaconis (Stanford) and Marcus Du Sautoy (Cambridge). The series of Proceedings of Groups St Andrews conferences have provided snapshots of the state of research in group theory throughout the past twenty years. As with earlier volumes, these refereed volumes also contain accessible surveys of contemporary research fronts, as well as a diverse collection of short research articles. They form a valuable reference for researchers, especially graduate students, working in group theory.

This two-volume book contains selected papers from the international conference "Groups 1993 Galway/St Andrews", which was held at University College Galway in August 1993. These two volumes represent the wealth and diversity of group theory. Five main lecture courses were given at the conference. These were "Geometry, Steinberg representations and complexity" by J. L. Alperin (Chicago), "Rickard equivalences and block theory" by M. Broué (ENS, Paris), "Cohomological finiteness conditions" by P. H. Kropholler (QMW, London), "Counting finite index subgroups" by A. Lubotzky (Hebrew University, Jerusalem), and "Lie methods in group theory" by E. I. Zel'manov (University of Wisconsin at Madison). Articles based on their lectures, in one case co-authored, form a substantial part of the Proceedings. Another main feature of the conference was a GAP workshop jointly run by J. NeubÜser and M. Schönert (RWTH, Aachen). Two articles by Professor NeubÜser, one co-authored, appear in the Proceedings. The other articles in the two volumes comprise both refereed survey and research articles contributed by other conference participants. As with the Proceedings of the earlier "Groups-St Andrews" conferences, the articles in these Proceedings will, with their many references, prove valuable both to experienced researchers and to postgraduates interested in group theory.

This book contains surveys and research articles on the state-of-the-art in finitely presented groups for researchers and graduate students. Overviews of current trends in exponential groups and of the classification of finite triangle groups and finite generalized tetrahedron groups are complemented by new results on a conjecture of Rosenberger and an approximation theorem. A special emphasis is on algorithmic techniques and their complexity, both for finitely generated groups and for finite Z-algebras, including explicit computer calculations highlighting important classical methods. A further chapter surveys connections to mathematical logic, in particular to universal theories of various classes of groups, and contains new results on countable elementary free groups. Applications to cryptography include overviews of techniques based on representations of p-groups and of non-commutative group actions. Further applications of finitely generated groups to topology and artificial intelligence complete the volume. All in all, leading experts provide up-to-date overviews and current trends in combinatorial group theory and its connections to cryptography and other areas.

This second volume of the two-volume book contains selected papers from the conference 'Groups St Andrews 2001 in Oxford'. The articles are contributed by a number of leading researchers and cover a wide spectrum of modern group theory. There are articles based on lecture courses given by five main speakers together with refereed survey and research articles. The 'Groups St Andrews' proceedings volumes are a snapshot of the state of the art in group theory and they often play an important role in future developments in the subject.
