描述 | .Topological Methods in Group Theory. is about the interplay between algebraic topology and the theory of infinite discrete groups. The author has kept three kinds of readers in mind: graduate students who have had an introductory course in algebraic topology and who need a bridge from common knowledge to the current research literature in geometric, combinatorial and homological group theory; group theorists who would like to know more about the topological side of their subject but who have been too long away from topology; and manifold topologists, both high- and low-dimensional, since the book contains much basic material on proper homotopy and locally finite homology not easily found elsewhere...The book focuses on two main themes:..1. Topological Finiteness Properties of groups (generalizing the classical notions of "finitely generated" and "finitely presented");..2. Asymptotic Aspects of Infinite Groups (generalizing the classical notion of "the number of ends of a group")...Illustrative examples treated in some detail include: Bass-Serre theory, Coxeter groups, Thompson groups, Whitehead‘s contractible 3-manifold, Davis‘s exotic contractible manifolds in dimensions greater |
