Group and Ring Theoretic Properties of Polycyclic Groups

Polycyclic groups are built from cyclic groups in a specific way. They arise in many contexts within group theory itself but also more generally in algebra, for example in the theory of Noetherian rings. They also touch on some aspects of topology, geomet

Managing Editor: Alain Verschoren University of Antwerp, Belgium Series Editors: Alice Fialowski Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary Eric Friedlander Northwestern University, USA John Greenlees Sheffield University, UK Gerhard Hiss Aachen University, Germany Ieke Moerdijk Utrecht University, The Netherlands Idun Reiten Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway Christoph Schweigert Hamburg University, Germany Mina Teicher Bar-llan University, Israel Algebra and Applications aims to publish well written and carefully refereed monographs with up-to-date information about progress in all fields of algebra, its classical impact on commutative and noncommutative algebraic and differential geometry, K-theory and algebraic topology, as well as applications in related domains, such as number theory, homotopy and (co)homology theory, physics and discrete mathematics. Particular emphasis will be put on state-of-the-art topics such as rings of differential operators, Lie algebras and super-algebras, group rings and algebras, C ∗ -algebras, Kac-Moody theory, arithmetic algebraic geometry, Hopf algebras and quantum groups, as well as their applications. In addition, Algebra and Applications will also publish monographs dedicated to computational aspects of these topics as well as algebraic and geometric methods in computer science.
