The purpose of this paper is to survey recent work on how classical asymptotic density interacts with the theory of computability. We have tried to make the survey accessible to those who are not specialists i...

We show that all groups in a very large class of Coxeter groups are locally quasiconvex and have a uniform membership problem solvable in quadratic time. If a group in the class satisfies a further hypothesis ...

Chapter
Groups are very often described as quotient groups of free groups: G = F/N. If F is free with basis X and N is the normal closure in F of a set R, we say that the pair (X; R) is a presentation for G, and, by a mi...
Chapter
In this chapter we will study the definitions, properties, and applications of the products of groups which are basic to doing combinatorial group theory. We begin with a study of free products.
Chapter
Informally, a group is free on a set of generators if no relation holds among these generators except the trivial relations that hold among any set of elements in any group. We make this precise as follows.
Chapter
We have mentioned the strong influence of geometry, topology, and parts of analysis on the origin and development of combinatorial group theory, as well as the application of geometric and topological methods ...
Chapter
In 1911 M. Dehn posed the word and conjugacy problems for groups in general and provided algorithms which solved these problems for the fundamental groups of closed orientable two-dimensional manifolds. A cruc...

Two of the basic constructions of infinite group theory are the free product with amalgamated subgroup, introduced by Schreier [11] in 1927, and Higman-Neumann-Neumann extensions, introduced by G. Higman, B.H....
