During the last 40 years the theory of finite groups has developed dramatically. The finite simple groups have been classified and are becoming better understood. Tools exist to reduce many questions about arbitrary finite groups to similar questions about simple groups. Since the classification there have been numerous applications of this theory in other branches of mathematics. Finite Group Theory develops the foundations of the theory of finite groups. It can serve as a text for a course on finite groups for students already exposed to a first course in algebra. It could supply the background necessary to begin reading journal articles in the field. For specialists it also provides a reference on the foundations of the subject. This second edition has been considerably improved with a completely rewritten Chapter 15 considering the 2-Signalizer Functor Theorem, and the addition of an appendix containing solutions to exercises.

The book describes developments on some well-known problems regarding the relationship between orders of finite groups and that of their automorphism groups. It is broadly divided into three parts: the first part offers an exposition of the fundamental exact sequence of Wells that relates automorphisms, derivations and cohomology of groups, along with some interesting applications of the sequence. The second part offers an account of important developments on a conjecture that a finite group has at least a prescribed number of automorphisms if the order of the group is sufficiently large. A non-abelian group of prime-power order is said to have divisibility property if its order divides that of its automorphism group. The final part of the book discusses the literature on divisibility property of groups culminating in the existence of groups without this property. Unifying various ideas developed over the years, this largely self-contained book includes results that are either proved or with complete references provided. It is aimed at researchers working in group theory, in particular, graduate students in algebra.

This is the sixth volume of a comprehensive and elementary treatment of finite group theory. This volume contains many hundreds of original exercises (including solutions for the more difficult ones) and an extended list of about 1000 open problems. The current book is based on Volumes 1–5 and it is suitable for researchers and graduate students working in group theory.

ISBN: 9780821803905

The second volume of a series devoted to reorganizing and simplifying proof of the classification of the finite simple groups. In a single chapter, it lays the groundwork for the forthcoming analysis of finite simple groups, beginning with the theory of components, layers, and the generalized Fitting subgroup, which has been developed largely since Gorenstein's basic 1968 text and is now central to understanding the structure of finite groups. Suitable as an auxiliary text for a graduate course in group theory. Member prices are $35 for individual and $47 for institutions. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This is the fifth volume of a comprehensive and elementary treatment of finite p-group theory. Topics covered in this volume include theory of linear algebras and Lie algebras. The book contains many dozens of original exercises (with difficult exercises being solved) and a list of about 900 research problems and themes.

This two-volume book contains selected papers from the international conference "Groups St. Andrews 1997 in Bath". The articles are arranged in roughly alphabetical order and cover a wide spectrum of modern group theory. There are articles based on lecture courses given by five main speakers together with refereed survey and research articles contributed by other conference participants. Proceedings of earlier "Groups St. Andrews" conferences have had a major impact on the development of group theory and these volumes should be equally important.
