Groups : topological, combinatorial, and arithmetic aspects [E-Book] / edited by T.W. Müller.

In 1999 a number of eminent mathematicians were invited to Bielefeld to present lectures at a conference on topological, combinatorial and arithmetic aspects of (infinite) groups. The present volume consists of survey and research articles invited from participants in this conference. Topics covered...
