This book offers a panorama of recent advances in the theory of infinite groups. It contains survey papers contributed by leading specialists in group theory and other areas of mathematics. Topics include amenable groups, Kaehler groups, automorphism groups of rooted trees, rigidity, C*-algebras, random walks on groups, pro-p groups, Burnside groups, parafree groups, and Fuchsian groups. The accent is put on strong connections between group theory and other areas of mathematics.

Nanoanalytics is a novel branch of analytical chemistry which explores applications of nanotechnologies in chemical analysis. This comprehensive publication gives an overview of the analytical techniques used to study nanoobjects and nanoparticles as well as the application of nanomaterials themselves in the development of new methods of analysis. The authors also address important metrology aspects and give future prospects of the area.
