This volume grew out of two AMS conferences held at Columbia University and the Stevens Institute of Technology and presents articles on a wide variety of topics in group theory. Readers will find a variety of contributions, including a collection of over 170 open problems in combinatorial group theory, three survey papers (on boundaries of hyperbolic groups, on fixed points of free group automorphisms, and on groups of automorphisms of compact Riemann surfaces), and several original research papers that represent the diversity of contemporary trends in combinatorial and geometric group...

An overview of the diversity of current trends in computational and statistical group theory. The book presents the latest research and a number of specific topics, such as growth, black box groups, measures on groups, product replacement algorithms and quantum automata. It includes contributions by speakers at AMS Special Sessions at the University of Nevada (Las Vegas) and the Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken, New Jersey). It is suitable for graduate students and research mathematicians interested in group theory.
