The 'Groups St Andrews' proceedings volumes are a snapshot of group theory and they often play an important role in future developments in the subject. This second volume of the two-volume book contains selected papers from the conference 'Groups St Andrews 2001 in Oxford'. The 'Groups St Andrews' proceedings volumes are a snapshot of group theory and they often play an important role in future developments in the subject. This second volume of the two-volume book contains selected papers from the international conference 'Groups St Andrews 2001 in Oxford' which was held at the University of Oxford in August 2001. Five main lecture courses were given at the conference, and articles based on their lectures form a substantial part of the Proceedings. This volume contains the contributions from Peter Palfy (Eotvos Lorand, Budapest) and Michael Vaughan-Lee (Oxford). The series of Proceedings of Groups St Andrews conferences have provided snapshots of the state of research in Group Theory throughout the past twenty years. As with earlier volumes, these refereed volumes also contain accessible surveys of contemporary research fronts, as well as a diverse collection of short research articles. They form a valuable reference for researchers, especially graduate students, working in group theory. Introduction; 27. Gracefulness, group sequencings and graph factorizations G. Kaplan, A.
