Topology and Combinatorial Group Theory : Proceedings of the Fall Foliage Topology Seminars held in New Hampshire 1986 1988

This book demonstrates the lively interaction between algebraic topology, very low dimensional topology and combinatorial group theory. Many of the ideas presented are still in their infancy, and it is hoped that the work here will spur others to new and exciting developments. Among the many techniq...
