Infinite Groups and Group Rings: Proceedings of the A.m.s. Special Session.

This proceedings volume consists of contributed papers which deal with diverse topics ranging from logical questions to geometric methods and covering both integral group rings and group algebras.

Some papers are research announcements, or of a descriptive nature, while others are research papers.Contents: On Maximal Subgroups of Infinite Groups (J C Beidleman & H Smith)Computer Investigations of Group Algebras (D B Coleman)On HNN-Groups Whose Three-Generator Subgroups are Free (B Fine et al.)Even More Model Theory of Free Groups (A M Gaglione & D Spellman)The Pullback Structure of Blocks with Cyclic Normal Defect Groups (L Klingler & J Haefner)Units of the Integral Group Ring of the Infinite Dihedral Group (F Levin & S Sehgal)The Geometry of PSL(2,Z[ω]) Automorphisms (J Meier)Semiprimitivity of Group Algebras of Locally Finite Groups (D S Passman)The Automorphism Group of a Virtual Direct Product of Groups (M R Pettet)On Infinite Solvable Groups (A Rhemtulla & H Smith)Groups with Triple Factorizations by Abelian Groups (D J S Robinson & S E Stonehewer)A Short Survey on Vertical Heegaard Decompositions of Seifert Fibered Spaces and Nielsen Equivalence in Fuchsian Groups (G Rosenberger & H Terhorst)On the Seventh Lie Dimension Subgroups (K-I Tahara & J Xiao)Aspects of Infinite Symmetric Groups (S Thomas)and other papersReadership: Mathematicians.
