Whitehead groups of finite groups /
Oliver, Robert, 1949-
Whitehead groups of finite groups / Robert Oliver. - Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 1988. - 1 online resource (349 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). - London Mathematical Society lecture note series ; 132 . - London Mathematical Society lecture note series ; 132. .
Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
This book's aim is to make accessible techniques for studying Whitehead groups of finite groups, as well as a variety of related topics such as induction theory and p-adic logarithms. The author has included a lengthy introduction to set the scene for non-specialists who want an overview of the field, its history and its applications. The rest of the book consists of three parts: general theory, group rings of p-groups and general finite groups. The book will be welcomed by specialists in K- and L-theory and by algebraists in general as a state-of-the art survey of the area.
