Crystallographic Groups and Their Generalizations: Workshop, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Campus Kortrijk, Belgium, May 26-28, 1999

Combining surveys and original research papers, the 16 contributions take up such issues as tores affines, problems in the geometry of finitely generated solvable groups, varieties of discontinuous groups, the classification of homogeneous complex affinely flat surfaces with compact quotients and applications to complex projective structures, an obstruction to the existence of Anosov differmorphisms on infra- nilmanifolds, the genus and localization of virtually nilpotent groups, and isoclinic spheres and flat homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. Two are in French. They are not indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
