Editorial Reviews

Seventeen contributions from the July 1996 conference present current research in the theory of algebraic groups, the theory of automatic and hyperbolic groups, convergence groups, distortion of subgroups, Artin groups and braid groups, amenable groups, combinatorial approaches to conformal structure, algebraic and geometric automorphism groups, and geometric invariants of groups. Some of the specific topics are the topology of polynomial varieties, the intersection of flat subsets of a braid group, embedding free amalgams of discrete groups in non-discrete topological groups, automatic structures on central extensions, and whitehead graphs on handlebodies.
