Lectures on Profinite Topics in Group Theory

by Nikolay Nikolov, Benjamin Klopsch, Christopher Voll

Book Overview

'In this book, three authors introduce readers to strong approximation methods, analytic pro-p groups and zeta functions of groups. Each chapter illustrates connections between infinite group theory, number theory and Lie theory. The first introduces the theory of compact p-adic Lie groups. The second explains how methods from linear algebraic groups can be utilised to study the finite images of linear groups. Derived from an LMS/EPSRC Short Course...
