Editorial Reviews

A dozen papers synthesize the rapid development in geometric group theory over the past few years because of the introduction of new geometric and algorithmic techniques. Asynchronous automatic structures on closed hyperbolic surface groups, the generalized tetrahedron groups, and isoperimetric inequalities for homogeneous nilpotent groups, are among the topics. Specialists in geometric group theory would be most interested, but graduate students could get a sense of the kinds of problems and the breadth of techniques in it. No index. Annotation c.
