Nota di contenuto

Some group theory -- Groups acting on sets -- Transitivity -- Primitivity -- Suborbits and orbitals -- More about symmetric groups -- Linear groups -- Wreath products -- Rational numbers -- Jordan groups -- Examples of Jordan groups -- Relations related to betweenness -- Classification theorems -- Homogeneous structures -- The Hrushovski construction -- Applications and open questions.

Sommario/riassunto

The book, based on a course of lectures by the authors at the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, covers aspects of infinite permutation groups theory and some related model-theoretic constructions. There is basic background in both group theory and the necessary model theory, and the following topics are covered: transitivity and primitivity; symmetric groups and general linear groups; wreatch products; automorphism groups of various treelike objects; model-theoretic constructions for building structures with rich automorphism groups, the structure and classification of infinite primitive Jordan groups (surveyed); applications and open problems. With many examples and exercises, the book is intended primarily for a beginning graduate student in group theory.

Sommario/riassunto

This open access book offers a comprehensive understanding of South-South migration. It explores crucial migration themes such as



migrant integration in urban areas, migration and rural transformation, urban migration policy environment, migration corridors, and migrant precarity and survival, especially food security. It features contributions from eminent scholars in the Global South, namely, Africa, Asia, Latin America & Caribbean and the Middle East. Chapters in the book present theoretical perspectives and practical case studies building on the results of detailed surveys, in-depth interviews, field observations and other materials. The book highlights new findings and research outputs from recent and ongoing collaborative projects between multiple researchers from the Global South and North. The book is intended for researchers, graduate students and teachers of geography, social policy, refugees and migration studies, history, international development and urban studies.
