Discrete groups. Transl. from the Japanese by Ken'ichi Ohshika (English)
0 references
This book aims to serve as a concise introduction to the study of infinite groups as geometric objects, including geometric group theory of Gromov as one of the main subjects. The main topics which this book deals with are: the theory of hyperbolic groups due to Gromov; automatic group theory, invented and developed by Epstein, whose subjects can be manipulated by computers; and Kleinian group theory, which enjoys the longest tradition and the richest contents among the theory of discrete subgroups of Lie groups.
