In a textbook for an advanced undergraduate course in mathematics, Climenhaga and Katok demonstrate how to use geometry to understand group theory, and group theory to understand geometry. They begin with symmetry groups in various geometries, then describe an (apparently) different type of relationship between groups and geometry by introducing the fundamental group. The 37 lectures are in sections on elements of group theory, symmetry in the Euclidean world: groups of isometries of planar and spatial objects, groups of matrices: linear algebra and symmetry in various geometries, the fundamental group: a different kind of group associated to geometric objects, from groups to geometric objects and back, and groups at large scale.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Groups arise naturally as symmetries of geometric objects, and so groups can be used to understand geometry and topology. Conversely, one can study abstract groups by using geometric techniques and ultimately by treating groups themselves as geometric objects. This book explores these connections between group theory and geometry, introducing some of the main ideas of transformation groups, algebraic topology, and geometric group theory.The first half of the book introduces basic notions of group theory and studies symmetry groups in various geometries, including Euclidean, projective, and hyperbolic. The classification of Euclidean isometries leads to results on regular polyhedra and polytopes; the study of symmetry groups using matrices leads to Lie groups and Lie algebras.The second half of the book explores ideas from algebraic topology and geometric group theory. The fundamental group appears as yet another group associated to a geometric object and turns out to be a symmetry group using covering spaces and deck transformations. In the other direction, Cayley graphs, planar models, and fundamental domains appear as geometric objects associated to groups. The final chapter discusses groups themselves as geometric objects, including a gentle introduction to Gromov's theorem on polynomial growth and Grigorchuk's example of intermediate growth.The book is accessible to undergraduate students (and anyone else) with a background in calculus, linear algebra, and basic real analysis, including topological notions of convergence and connectedness.This book is a result of the MASS course in algebra at Penn State University in the fall semester of 2009.
