Extract

It is the purpose of this note to draw attention to some connections between the topics mentioned in the title. These allow familiar results from one area of mathematics to be usefully exploited in another, to the mutual benefit of both. Moreover, the basic ideas suggest possible generalizations whose examination should prove worthwhile. In this introduction we give a brief account of the results to be derived and discussed in more detail in the later sections.
