Beschreibungen

<p><b>A comprehensive guide to ranks and group theory </b></p> <p><i>Ranks of Groups </i>features a logical, straightforward presentation, beginning with a succinct discussion of the standard ranks before moving on to specific aspects of ranks of groups. Topics covered include section ranks, groups of finite 0-rank, minimax rank, special rank, groups of finite section p-rank, groups having finite section p-rank for all primes p, groups of finite bounded section rank, groups whose abelian subgroups have finite rank, groups whose abelian subgroups have bounded finite rank, finitely generated groups having finite rank, residual properties of groups of finite rank, groups covered by normal subgroups of bounded finite rank, and theorems of Schur and Baer.</p> <p>This book presents fundamental concepts and notions related to the area of ranks in groups. Class-tested worldwide by highly qualified authors in the fields of abstract algebra and group theory, this book focuses on critical concepts with the most interesting, striking, and central results. In order to provide readers with the most useful techniques related to the various different ranks in a group, the authors have carefully examined hundreds of current research articles on group theory authored by researchers around the world, providing an up-to-date, comprehensive treatment of the subject.</p> <p>• All material has been thoroughly vetted and class-tested by well-known researchers who have worked in the area of rank conditions in groups</p> <p>• Topical coverage reflects the most modern, up-to-date research on ranks of groups</p> <p>• Features a unified point-of-view on the most important results in ranks obtained using various methods so as to illustrate the role those ranks play within group theory</p> <p>• Focuses on the tools and methods concerning ranks necessary to achieve significant progress in the study and clarification of the structure of groups</p> <p><i>Ranks of Groups: The Tools, Characteristics, and Restrictions </i>is an excellent textbook for graduate courses in mathematics, featuring numerous exercises, whose solutions are provided.
