Geometric Group Theory Preliminary Version Under revision
The goal of this book is to present several central topics in geometric
group theory, primarily related to the large scale geometry of infinite groups
and spaces on which such groups act, and to illustrate them with fundamental
theorems such as Gromov’s Theorem on groups of polynomial growth. Topics covered includes: Geometry and
Topology, Metric spaces, Differential geometry, Hyperbolic Space, Groups and
their actions, Median spaces and spaces with measured walls, Finitely generated
and finitely presented groups, Coarse geometry, Coarse topology, Geometric
aspects of solvable groups, Gromov’s Theorem, Amenability and paradoxical
decomposition, Proof of Stallings’ Theorem using harmonic functions.
This note covers Notation
for sets and functions, Basic group theory, The symmetric group, Group actions,
Linear groups, Affine groups, Projective groups, Abelian groups, Finite linear
groups, Sylow theorems and applications, Solvable and nilpotent groups, p
groups, a second look, Presentations of groups, Building new groups from old.
This note explains the following topics: mapping, Basic
algebra, Modular arithmetic, Groups, Cosets and Lagranges theorem, Isomorphisms
and quotient group, The permutation group Sn, Finite abelian groups, Group
actions, Group solvability and the semi direct product.
This note describes
the following topics: Abstract Group Theory, Theory of Group Representations,
Group Theory in Quantum Mechanics, Lie Groups, Atomic Physics, The Group SU2:
Isospin, The Point Groups, The Group SU3.
