摘要
We give a survey on large finite group actions on low-dimensional objects such as graphs, surfaces, handlebodies and closed 3-manifolds, and also on large finite subgroups of the outer automorphism groups of their fundamental groups (free groups and surface groups) and of linear groups GL (n, Z); in particular we discuss recent results on maximal orders in various situations. © 2003 Springer.
