The theory of one-relator groups is now almost a century old. The authors therefore feel that a comprehensive survey of this fascinating subject is in order, and this document is an attempt at precisely such a survey. This article is…
In this note we present some of the most basic aspects of the fractional Laplacean with a self-contained and purely didactic intent, and with a somewhat different slant from the several excellent existing references. Given the interest that…
