Algebraic Combinatorics and the Monster Group

Buying and Selling
Buying and Selling explores the many facets of the business of books across and beyond Europe, adopting the viewpoints of printers, publishers, booksellers, and readers. Essays by twenty-five scholars from a range of disciplines seek to reconstruct the dynamics of the trade through a variety of sources. Through the combined investigation of printed output, documentary evidence, provenance research, and epistolary networks, this volume trails the evolving relationship between readers and the book trade. In the resulting picture of failure and success, balanced precariously between debt-economies, sale strategies and uncertain profit, customers stand out as the real winners.
Groups and Geometries
The Conference on Groups and Geometries held in Siena in 1996, addressed a broad range of topics in group theory and geometry, with emphasis on recent results and open problems. Special attention was drawn to the interplay between group-theoretic methods and geometric and combinatorial ones. Expanded versions of many of the talks appear in these proceedings. Algebraists and geometers will encounter in this conference record a stimulating collection of ideas stemming from work in such areas as 1) the classification of finite simple groups; 2) the structure and properties of groups of Lie type over finite and algebraically closed fields of finite characteristic; 3) buildings, and the geometry of projective and polar spaces; and 4) geometries of sporadic simple groups.
Wigner-Type Theorems for Hilbert Grassmannians
An accessible introduction to the geometric approach to Wigner's theorem and its role in quantum mechanics.
Finite Geometries
This book is a compilation of the papers presented at the conference in Winnipeg on the subject of finite geometry in 1984. It covers different fields in finite geometry: classical finite geometry, the geometry of finite planes, geometric structures and the theory of translation planes.

Geometries and Groups
The workshop was set up in order to stimulate the interaction between (finite and algebraic) geometries and groups. Five areas of concentrated research were chosen on which attention would be focused, namely: diagram geometries and chamber systems with transitive automorphism groups, geometries viewed as incidence systems, properties of finite groups of Lie type, geometries related to finite simple groups, and algebraic groups. The list of talks (cf. page iii) illustrates how these subjects were represented during the workshop. The contributions to these proceedings mainly belong to the first three areas; therefore, (i) diagram geometries and chamber systems with transitive automorphism grou...
