Description
------------------------------
Approximate groups have shot to prominence in recent years, driven both by rapid progress in the field itself and by a varied and expanding range of applications. This text collects, for the first time in book form, the main concepts and techniques into a single, self-contained introduction. The author presents a number of recent developments in the field, including an exposition of his recent result classifying nilpotent approximate groups. The book also features a considerable amount of previously unpublished material, as well as numerous exercises and motivating examples. It closes with a substantial chapter on applications, including an exposition of Breuillard, Green and Tao''s celebrated approximate-group proof of Gromov''s theorem on groups of polynomial growth. Written by an author who is at the forefront of both researching and teaching this topic, this text will be useful to advanced students and to researchers working in approximate groups and related areas.

Recent years have seen rapid progress in the field of approximate groups, with the emergence of a varied range of applications. Written by a leader in the field, this text for both beginning graduate students and researchers collects, for the first time in book form, the main concepts and techniques into a single, self-contained introduction.
