Discrete groups and geometry papers dedicated to A.M. Macbeath, proceedings of a conference at Birmingham University

This book constitutes the proceedings of a conference held at the University of Birmingham to mark the retirement of Professor A. M. Macbeath. The papers represent up-to-date work on a broad spectrum of topics in the theory of discrete group actions, ranging from presentations of finite groups throu...
