Topics in Geometric Group Theory

چکیده
We present a brief overview of methods and results in geometric group theory, with the goal of introducing the reader to both topological and metric perspectives. Prerequisites are kept to a minimum: we require only basic algebra, graph theory, and metric space topology.

Outline of Math 623; Topics in Geometric Topology: Manifold Theory
The basic topic will be the classification of manifolds with a focus on surgery theory; the classification of high dimensional manifolds. I will, however, cover topics of interest to low-dimensional topologists and algebraic topologists. The prerequisites are Math 521 and 522, in other words singular homology theory, CW complexes, fundamental group, and covering spaces. But familiarity with the...
متن کاملIntroduction to actions of algebraic groups
These notes present some fundamental results and examples in the theory of algebraic group actions, with special attention to the topics of geometric invariant theory and of spherical varieties. Their goal is to provide a self-contained introduction to more advanced lectures.
متن کاملA representation for some groups, a geometric approach
In the present paper, we are going to use geometric and topological concepts, entities and properties of the integral curves of linear vector fields, and the theory of differential equations, to establish a representation for some groups on $R^{n} (ngeq 1)$. Among other things, we investigate the surjectivity and faithfulness of the representation. At the end, we give some app...
متن کاملUsing Geometry in Teaching Group Theory
Discrete groups of isometries provide a rich class of groups for detailed study in an undergraduate course in abstract algebra. After developing some geometric tools, we illustrate several important ideas from group theory via symmetry groups. In particular, we consider conjugation, homomorphisms, normal and nonnormal subgroups, generators and relations, quotient groups and direct and semidirec...
متن کاملEuler-Lagrange equations and geometric mechanics on Lie groups with potential
Abstract. Let G be a Banach Lie group modeled on the Banach space, possibly infinite dimensional, E. In this paper first we introduce Euler-Lagrange equations on the Lie group G with potential and right invariant metric. Euler-Lagrange equations are natural extensions of the geodesic equations on manifolds and Lie groups. In the second part, we study the geometry of the mechanical system of a r...
