Description for Progress in Galois Theory
Hardback. Focuses on the interactions between group theory and algebra/geometry/number theory, showing ubiquity and power of the basic principle of Galois theory. This book presents developments in a line of work about covers of the projective line, their fields of definition and parameter spaces, and questions about arithmetic fundamental groups. Series: Developments in Mathematics. Num Pages: 168 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PB. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 11. Weight in Grams: 432.
The legacy of Galois was the beginning of Galois theory as well as group theory. From this common origin, the development of group theory took its own course, which led to great advances in the latter half of the 20th cen tury. It was John Thompson who shaped finite group theory like no-one else, leading the way towards a major milestone of 20th century mathematics, the classification of finite simple groups. After the classification was announced around 1980, it was again J. Thomp son who led the way in exploring its implications for Galois theory. The first question is whether ... Read more
