This book was released on 1967 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For an abelian category C, the Grothendieck group K(O)(C) of C is an abelian group which solves the universal problem of finding 'additive' maps of Obj C into abelian groups. The Whitehead group K(1) C is the abelian group which furnishes a 'universal determinant theory' for C. The dissertation conducts a survey of certain techniques useful in the study of these groups. The groups are treated in some generality in the first chapter, then the survey is restricted to group rings, i.e. to the case when C is the category of Z pi-modules or else the category of projective Z pi-modules, for finite groups pi. In this setting, the crucial (and most subtle) question seems to be that of determining the torsion of the Whitehead group, and this is chiefly what is done in the last two chapters. (Author).
Download or read book Whitehead Groups of Finite Groups written by Robert Oliver and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988-02-25 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book's aim is to make accessible techniques for studying Whitehead groups of finite groups, as well as a variety of related topics such as induction theory and p-adic logarithms. The author has included a lengthy introduction to set the scene for non-specialists who want an overview of the field, its history and its applications. The rest of the book consists of three parts: general theory, group rings of p-groups and general finite groups. The book will be welcomed by specialists in K- and L-theory and by algebraists in general as a state-of-the art survey of the area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From reviews of the German edition: "This is an exciting text and a refreshing contribution to an area in which challenges continue to flourish and to captivate the viewer. Even though representation theory and constructions of simple groups have been omitted, the text serves as a springboard for deeper study in many directions." Mathematical Reviews
Download or read book Finite Groups written by Bertram A. F. Wehrfritz and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1999 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of groups, especially of finite groups, is one of the most delightful areas of mathematics. Its proofs often have elegance and crystalline beauty. This textbook is intended for the reader who has been exposed to about three years of serious mathematics. The notion of a group appears widely in mathematics and even further afield in physics and chemistry, and the fundamental idea should be known to all mathematicians. In this textbook a purely algebraic approach is taken and the choice of material is based upon the notion of conjugacy. The aim is not only to cover basic material, but also to present group theory as a living, vibrant and growing discipline, by including references and discussion of some work up to the present day.

This book was released on 1971 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This symposium, on Representation Theory of Finite Groups and Related Topics, was held in conjunction with a sectional meeting of the American Mathematical Society, and in honor of professor Richard Brauer. Dr. Brauer's fundamental work in representation theory is at the heart of many further developments in the topic. These proceedings contain the articles of participants, based on their symposium presentations, and indicate the scope of current research in representation theory.

Download or read book An Algebraic Introduction to K Theory written by Bruce A. Magurn and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-05-20 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an introduction to algebraic K-theory with no prerequisite beyond a first semester of algebra (including Galois theory and modules over a principal ideal domain). The presentation is almost entirely self-contained, and is divided into short sections with exercises to reinforce the ideas and suggest further lines of inquiry. No experience with analysis, geometry, number theory or topology is assumed. Within the context of linear algebra, K-theory organises and clarifies the relations among ideal class groups, group representations, quadratic forms, dimensions of a ring, determinants, quadratic reciprocity and Brauer groups of fields. By including introductions to standard algebra topics (tensor products, localisation, Jacobson radical, chain conditions, Dedekind domains, semi-simple rings, exterior algebras), the author makes algebraic K-theory accessible to first-year graduate students and other mathematically sophisticated readers. Even if your algebra is rusty, you can read this book; the necessary background is here, with proofs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 1981, the classification of the finite simple groups (Dl)* was completed,t. * representing one of the most remarkable achievements in the history or mathematics. Involving the combined efforts of several hundred mathematicians from around the world over a period of 30 years, the full proof covered something between 5,000 and 10,000 journal pages, spread over 300 to 500 individual papers. The single result that, more than any other, opened up the field and foreshadowed the vastness of the full classification proof was the celebrated theorem of Walter Feit and John Thompson in 1962, which stated that every finite group of odd order (D2) is solvable (D3)-a statement expressi ble in a single line, yet its proof required a full 255-page issue of the Pacific 10urnal of Mathematics [93]. Soon thereafter, in 1965, came the first new sporadic simple group in over 100 years, the Zvonimir Janko group 1 , to further stimulate the 1 'To make the book as self-contained as possible. we are including definitions of various terms as they occur in the text. However. in order not to disrupt the continuity of the discussion. we have placed them at the end of the Introduction. We denote these definitions by (DI). (D2), (D3). etc.

Download or read book Introduction to Algebraic K Theory AM 72 Volume 72 written by John Milnor and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algebraic K-theory describes a branch of algebra that centers about two functors. K0 and K1, which assign to each associative ring ∧ an abelian group K0∧ or K1∧ respectively. Professor Milnor sets out, in the present work, to define and study an analogous functor K2, also from associative rings to abelian groups. Just as functors K0 and K1 are important to geometric topologists, K2 is now considered to have similar topological applications. The exposition includes, besides K-theory, a considerable amount of related arithmetic.
