This is the first of three volumes of a comprehensive and elementary treatment of finite p-group theory. Topics covered in this monograph include: (a) counting of subgroups, with almost all main counting theorems being proved, (b) regular p-groups and regularity criteria, (c) p-groups of maximal class and their numerous characterizations, (d) characters of p-groups, (e) p-groups with large Schur multiplier and commutator subgroups, (f) (p‒1)-admissible Hall chains in normal subgroups, (g) powerful p-groups, (h) automorphisms of p-groups, (i) p-groups all of whose nonnormal subgroups are cyclic, (j) Alperin's problem on abelian subgroups of small index. The book is suitable for researchers and graduate students of mathematics with a modest background on algebra. It also contains hundreds of original exercises (with difficult exercises being solved) and a comprehensive list of about 700 open problems.

This is the second of three volumes devoted to elementary finite p-group theory. Similar to the first volume, hundreds of important results are analyzed and, in many cases, simplified. Important topics presented in this monograph include: (a) classification of p-groups all of whose cyclic subgroups of composite orders are normal, (b) classification of 2-groups with exactly three involutions, (c) two proofs of Ward's theorem on quaternion-free groups, (d) 2-groups with small centralizers of an involution, (e) classification of 2-groups with exactly four cyclic subgroups of order 2n > 2, (f) two new proofs of Blackburn's theorem on minimal nonmetacyclic groups, (g) classification of p-groups all of whose subgroups of index p2 are abelian, (h) classification of 2-groups all of whose minimal nonabelian subgroups have order 8, (i) p-groups with cyclic subgroups of index p2 are classified. This volume contains hundreds of original exercises (with all difficult exercises being solved) and an extended list of about 700 open problems. The book is based on Volume 1, and it is suitable for researchers and graduate students of mathematics with a modest background on algebra.

This book is a basic reference in the modern theory of holomorphic foliations, presenting the interplay between various aspects of the theory and utilizing methods from algebraic and complex geometry along with techniques from complex dynamics and several complex variables. The result is a solid introduction to the theory of foliations, covering basic concepts through modern results on the structure of foliations on complex projective spaces.
