Computational and Statistical Group Theory: Ams Special Session Geometric Group Theory, April 21-22, 2001, Las Vegas, Nevada, Ams Special Session ... April 28-29, 2001

Consists of nine papers presented during two April 2001 AMS special sessions on geometric group theory and computational group theory. The topics include centralizers of involutions in black box groups, the spectral properties of a torsion-free weakly branch group defined by a three state automaton, and the Knuth-Bendix procedure for strings and large rewriting systems.
