β¦ Synopsis
Abstract. Random groups provide a rigorous way to tackle such ques-
tions as "What does a typical (finitely generated) group look like?" or
"What is the behavior of an element of a group when nothing particular
happens?"
We review the results obtained on random groups as of January 2005.
We give proper definitions and list known properties of typical groups. We
also emphasize properties of random elements in a given group. In addition
we present more specific, randomly twisted group constructions providing
new, "wild" examples of groups.
A comprehensive discussion of open problems and perspectives is in-
cluded.

This book lays the foundation for a theory of coarse groups: namely, sets with operations that satisfy the group axioms βup to uniformly bounded errorβ. These structures are the group objects in the category of coarse spaces, and arise naturally as approximate subgroups, or as coarse kernels. The fi

This book provides an introduction to the theory of quantum groups with emphasis on their duality and on the setting of operator algebras. Part I of the text presents the basic theory of Hopf algebras, Van Daele's duality theory of algebraic quantum groups, and Woronowicz's compact quantum groups, s
