The Banach–Tarski paradox is a most striking mathematical
construction: it asserts that a solid ball may be taken apart into
finitely many pieces that can be rearranged using rigid motions to
form a ball twice as large as the original. This volume explores the
consequences of the paradox for measure theory and its connections
with group theory, geometry, and logic. It unifies the results of
contemporary research on the paradox and presents several new results
including some unusual paradoxes in hyperbolic space. It also provides
up-to-date proofs and discusses many unsolved problems.
