Galois Covers, Grothendieck-Teichmüller Theory and Dessins D'Enfants : Interactions Between Geometry, Topology, Number Theory and Algebra, Leicester, UK, June 2018

This book presents original peer-reviewed contributions from the London Mathematical Society (LMS) Midlands Regional Meeting and Workshop on 'Galois Covers, Grothendieck-Teichmüller Theory and Dessinsd'Enfants', which took place at the University of Leicester, UK, from 4 to 7 June, 2018. Within the theme of the workshop, the collected articles cover a broad range of topics and explore exciting new links between algebraic geometry, representation theory, group theory, number theory and algebraic topology. The book combines research and overview articles by prominent international researchers and provides a valuable resource for researchers and students alike.
