Algebra and Discrete Mathematics - Vol. 1

ASPECTS OF INFINITE GROUPS
A Festschrift in Honor of Anthony Gaglione
Fairfield, USA 10 March 2007

edited by Benjamin Fine (Fairfield University, USA), Gerhard Rosenberger (Universitat Dortmund, Germany) & Dennis Spellman (Temple University, USA)

This book is a festschrift in honor of Professor Anthony Gaglione’s sixtieth birthday. This volume presents an excellent mix of research and expository articles on various aspects of infinite group theory. The papers give a broad overview of present research in infinite group theory in general, and combinatorial group theory and non-Abelian group-based cryptography in particular. They also pinpoint the interactions between combinatorial group theory and mathematical logic, especially model theory.
