Basic Notions in (Geometric) Group Theory

Abstract

Geometric group theory studies finitely presented groups using geometric properties of associated graphs. We discuss new developments, such as Kleiner's new proof of Gromov's theorem on polynomial growth and Bridson's lower bounds for the Andrews- Curtis conjecture.
