Description:
A group is a mathematical object encoding natural notions of symmetries and transformations. Geometric group theory is an area in mathematics devoted to the study of discrete groups by exploring connections between algebraic properties of such groups and topological and geometric properties of spaces on which these groups act. As a distinct area, geometric group theory is relatively new, and became an identifiable branch of mathematics in the early 1990s. Geometric group theory closely interacts with low-dimensional
