In recent times, group theory has found wider applications in
various fields of algebra and mathematics in general. But in order
to apply this or that result, you need to know about it, and such
results are often diffuse and difficult to locate, necessitating
that readers construct an extended search through multiple
monographs, articles, and papers. Such readers must wade through
the morass of concepts and auxiliary statements that are needed to
understand the desired results, while it is initially unclear which
of them are really needed and which ones can be dispensed with. A
further difficulty that one may encounter might be concerned with
the form or language in which a given result is presented. For
example, if someone knows the basics of group theory, but does not
know the theory of representations, and a group theoretical result
is formulated in the language of representation theory, then that
person is faced with the problem of translating this result into
the language with which they are familiar, etc. Infinite Groups: A
Roadmap to Some Classical Areas seeks to overcome this challenge.
The book covers a broad swath of the theory of infinite groups,
without giving proofs, but with all the concepts and auxiliary
results necessary for understanding such results. In other words,
this book is an extended directory, or a guide, to some of the more
established areas of infinite groups. Features An excellent
resource for a subject formerly lacking an accessible and in-depth
reference Suitable for graduate students, PhD students, and
researchers working in group theory Introduces the reader to the
most important methods, ideas, approaches, and constructions in
infinite group theory.
