About this title

Synopsis

This volume contains a selection of refereed papers presented in honour of A.M. Macbeath, one of the leading researchers in the area of discrete groups. The subject has been of much current interest of late as it involves the interaction of a number of diverse topics such as group theory, hyperbolic geometry, and complex analysis.

From the Back Cover

This book constitutes the proceedings of a conference held at the University of Birmingham to mark the retirement of Professor A. M. MacBeath. The papers represent up-to-date work on a broad spectrum of topics in the theory of discrete group actions, ranging from presentations of finite groups through the detailed study of Fuschian and crystallographic groups, to applications of group actions in low dimensional topology, complex analysis, algebraic geometry and number theory. For those wishing to pursue research in these areas, this volume offers a valuable summary of contemporary thought and a source of fresh geometric insights.
