This book is intended for undergraduate students and all those interested in mathematics. Its goal is to give an easy introduction to the concept of a transformation group using examples from different areas of mathematics. The warm-up of the first two chapters includes a discussion of algebraic operations on points in the plane, and of Euclidean plane movements. Then the notions of a transformation group and of an abstract group are introduced. Group actions, orbits, and invariants constitute the subject of the next chapter. The book concludes with an elementary exposition of the basic ideas of Sophus Lie about symmetries of differential equations. The book contains plenty of figures, as well as many exercises with hints and solutions, which help the reader to master the material.
Transformation Groups and Algebraic K-Theory
The book focuses on the relation between transformation groups and algebraic K-theory. The general pattern is to assign to a geometric problem an invariant in an algebraic K-group which determines the problem. The algebraic K-theory of modules over a category is studied extensively and appplied to the fundamental category of G-space. Basic details of the theory of transformation groups sometimes hard to find in the literature, are collected here (Chapter I) for the benefit of graduate students. Chapters II and III contain advanced new material of interest to researchers working in transformation groups, algebraic K-theory or related fields.
