Group Theory Genealogy Project

Exploring the academic connections between group theorists

Contribute

To suggest a group theorist, email agta@unina.it with their full name, country of birth, photograph, advisor and, where available, group theory students.

Manifesto

The aim of the Group Theory Genealogy Project is to give a complete picture of group theory through its main researchers, connected by the advisor–student relationship in a broad sense. A researcher is considered a group theorist here if they have published at least one original paper dealing with pure group theory.
