A current picture of progress and research in group theory is provided by five leading group theorists Bachmuth, Baumslag, Neumann, Roseblade and Tits.
This book contains selected papers from the international conference Groups--St Andrews 1985. It provides a comprehensive picture of current progress and research in group theory. Five leading group theorists, Bachmuth, Baumslag, Neumann, Roseblade and Tits have presented survey articles based on short lecture courses given at the conference and the rest of the book comprises both survey and research articles contributed by other conference speakers. The many articles with their wealth of references demonstrate the richness and vitality of modern group theory and its many connections with other areas of mathematics. The book will prove invaluable to both experienced researchers and new postgraduates whose interests involve group theory.
Selected papers presented at the international conference on group theory held at St. Andrews in 1989 are combined in two volumes. The themes of the conference were combinatorial and computational group theory.
This book contains selected papers from the international conference 'Groups - St Andrews 1981', which was held at the University of St Andrews in July/August 1981. Its contents reflect the main topics of the conference: combinatorial group theory; infinite groups; general groups, finite or infinite; computational group theory. Four courses, each providing a five-lecture survey, given by J. Neubuser (Aachen), D. J. S. Robinson (Illinois), S. J. Tobin (Galway) and J. Wiengold (Cardiff), have been expanded into articles, forming the first part of the book. The second part consists of surveys and research articles written by other conference participants. More than two-thirds of the book is composed of survey articles providing a remarkably clear and up-to-date picture of those areas of group theory. The articles which comprise this book, together with their extensive bibliographies, will prove an invaluable tool to researchers in group theory, and, in addition, their detailed expositions make them very suitable for relevant postgraduate courses.
These two volumes contain selected papers presented at the international conference on group theory held at St. Andrews in 1989. The themes of the conference were combinatorial and computational group theory; leading group theorists, including J.A. Green, N.D. Gupta, O.H. Kegel and J.G. Thompson, gave courses whose content is reproduced here. Also included are refereed papers presented at the meeting.
Representing the wealth and diversity of group theory for experienced researchers as well as new postgraduates, this two-volume book contains selected papers from the international conference which was held at University College Galway in August 1993.
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.
