The History of Combinatorial Group Theory
Author: B. Chandler
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461394872
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
One of the pervasive phenomena in the history of science is the development of independent disciplines from the solution or attempted solutions of problems in other areas of science. In the Twentieth Century, the creation of specialties witqin the sciences has accelerated to the point where a large number of scientists in any major branch of science cannot understand the work of a colleague in another subdiscipline of his own science. Despite this fragmentation, the development of techniques or solutions of problems in one area very often contribute fundamentally to solutions of problems in a seemingly unrelated field. Therefore, an examination of this phenomenon of the formation of independent disciplines within the sciences would contrib ute to the understanding of their evolution in modern times. We believe that in this context the history of combinatorial group theory in the late Nineteenth Century and the Twentieth Century can be used effectively as a case study. It is a reasonably well-defined independent specialty, and yet it is closely related to other mathematical disciplines. The fact that combinatorial group theory has, so far, not been influenced by the practical needs of science and technology makes it possible for us to use combinatorial group theory to exhibit the role of the intellectual aspects of the development of mathematics in a clearcut manner. There are other features of combinatorial group theory which appear to make it a reasona ble choice as the object of a historical study.

3-Manifold Groups Are Virtually Residually $p$
Author: Matthias Aschenbrenner
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821888013
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
Given a prime , a group is called residually if the intersection of its -power index normal subgroups is trivial. A group is called virtually residually if it has a finite index subgroup which is residually . It is well-known that finitely generated linear groups over fields of characteristic zero are virtually residually for all but finitely many . In particular, fundamental groups of hyperbolic -manifolds are virtually residually . It is also well-known that fundamental groups of -manifolds are residually finite. In this paper the authors prove a common generalization of these results: every -manifold group is virtually residually for all but finitely many . This gives evidence for the conjecture (Thurston) that fundamental groups of -manifolds are linear groups.

Automorphisms of Finite Groups
Author: Inder Bir Singh Passi
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9811328951
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
The book describes developments on some well-known problems regarding the relationship between orders of finite groups and that of their automorphism groups. It is broadly divided into three parts: the first part offers an exposition of the fundamental exact sequence of Wells that relates automorphisms, derivations and cohomology of groups, along with some interesting applications of the sequence. The second part offers an account of important developments on a conjecture that a finite group has at least a prescribed number of automorphisms if the order of the group is sufficiently large. A non-abelian group of prime-power order is said to have divisibility property if its order divides that of its automorphism group. The final part of the book discusses the literature on divisibility property of groups culminating in the existence of groups without this property. Unifying various ideas developed over the years, this largely self-contained book includes results that are either proved or with complete references provided. It is aimed at researchers working in group theory, in particular, graduate students in algebra.

New Horizons in pro-p Groups
Author: Marcus du Sautoy
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461213800
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
A pro-p group is the inverse limit of some system of finite p-groups, that is, of groups of prime-power order where the prime - conventionally denoted p - is fixed. Thus from one point of view, to study a pro-p group is the same as studying an infinite family of finite groups; but a pro-p group is also a compact topological group, and the compactness works its usual magic to bring 'infinite' problems down to manageable proportions. The p-adic integers appeared about a century ago, but the systematic study of pro-p groups in general is a fairly recent development. Although much has been dis covered, many avenues remain to be explored; the purpose of this book is to present a coherent account of the considerable achievements of the last several years, and to point the way forward. Thus our aim is both to stimulate research and to provide the comprehensive background on which that research must be based. The chapters cover a wide range. In order to ensure the most authoritative account, we have arranged for each chapter to be written by a leading contributor (or contributors) to the topic in question. Pro-p groups appear in several different, though sometimes overlapping, contexts.
