Geometric and Computational Perspectives on Infinite Groups: Proceedings of a Joint Dimacs/Geometry Center Workshop, January 3-14 and March 17-20, ... MATHEMATICS AND THEORETICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE)

by David Epstein, Robert Gilman, Hamish Short

Geometric group theory sprawls across the disciplines of group theory, geometry, and automata theory; the 11 research and expository papers here help researchers in any one of them understand the computation aspects of the theory in the other two perspectives. The topics include lower bounds of isoperimentric functions for nilpotent groups, one-relator free products with amalgamation, and the finite subgroups of a context-free group. No index.
