Topological Methods in Group Theory

N. Broaddus is Associate Professor of Mathematics at Ohio State University. M. Davis is Professor of Mathematics at Ohio State University. He is the author of The Geometry and Topology of Coxeter Groups (2007). J.-F. Lafont is Professor of Mathematics at Ohio State University. He is an author of Rigidity of High Dimensional Graph Manifolds (2015). His research focuses on the geometry, topology, and dynamics of spaces of non-positive curvature. I. J. Ortiz is Professor of Mathematics at Miami University. Her research focuses on K-theory of infinite groups with torsion.
