Summary:

Current research into pro-p groups continue to be a source of deep and challenging problems in number theory, analysis, algebra and group theory. With a systematic emphasis on the construction and examination of many classes of examples, this book presents a clear and reliable picture of the rich universe of pro-p groups. A wide range of exciting topics is covered from diverse perspectives, and connections with number theory are explored in depth. Introductory material is provided at the beginning of each chapter and a large number of open research problems is discussed.
