More about the book

Contains contributions from experts in geometric and combinatorial group theory, most of which were present at the Geneva and Barcelona conferences in 2005 Above the diversity of the articles included in this volume reigns a strong unity of themes and purposes: understanding geometrical and logical objects through their symmetries Witnesses to the power of group theory as a language for expressing, communicating and solving problems throughout mathematics Contains particularly two articles by A. Juhász on the solution of the membership problem for Magnus subgroups and on the solution of the conjugacy problem and malnormality of subgroups Includes supplementary material: sn. pub/extras
