Klappentext Eminent mathematicians have presented papers on homological and combinatorial techniques in group theory. The lectures are aimed at presenting in a unified way new developments in the area. Zusammenfassung In 1977 several eminent mathematicians were invited to Durham to present papers at a short conference on homological and combinatorial techniques in group theory. The lectures! published here! aimed at presenting in a unified way new developments in the area. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; Introduction; 1. Traces and Euler characteristics Hyman Bass; 2.
