商品描述
This outstanding new book presents the modern, geometric approach to group theory, in an accessible and engaging approach to the subject. Topics include group actions, the construction of Cayley graphs, and connections to formal language theory and geometry. Theorems are balanced by specific examples such as Baumslag-Solitar groups, the Lamplighter group and Thompson's group. Only exposure to undergraduate-level abstract algebra is presumed, and from that base the core techniques and theorems are developed and recent research is explored. Exercises and figures throughout the text encourage the development of geometric intuition. Ideal for advanced undergraduates looking to deepen their understanding of groups, this book will also be of interest to graduate students and researchers as a gentle introduction to geometric group theory.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本卓越的新書以現代的幾何方法介紹群論,並以易於理解且引人入勝的方式探討這一主題。內容包括群作用、Cayley 圖的構造,以及與形式語言理論和幾何的聯繫。定理與具體例子相平衡,例如 Baumslag-Solitar 群、燈光工人群和湯普森群。書中僅假設讀者具備本科階段的抽象代數知識,並在此基礎上發展核心技術和定理,並探討最新研究。文本中的練習題和圖形鼓勵幾何直覺的發展。這本書非常適合希望加深對群的理解的高年級本科生,同時也將吸引研究生和研究人員,作為幾何群論的溫和入門。
