Combinatorial Methods

by Vladimir Shpilrain, Alexander Mikhalev, and Jie-tai Yu

Published 1 January 2003

The main purpose of this book is to show how ideas from combinatorial group theory have spread to two other areas of mathematics: the theory of Lie algebras and affine algebraic geometry. Some of these ideas, in turn, came to combinatorial group theory from low-dimensional topology in the beginning of the 20th Century.
