TITLE: recommend paper on application of group theory
QUESTION [6 upvotes]: Application field can vary from biology\biochemistry, to computer science\coding theory, the more unexpected a connection to a field, the better. And paper preferably should be not very large one.
Thank you.

REPLY [2 votes]: Tom Fiore and his coauthors have used group theory to study various pieces of music.  You might enjoy the article "Musical actions of dihedral groups ( http://www-personal.umd.umich.edu/~tmfiore/1/CransFioreSatyendra.pdf ), or take a look at Tom's music page: http://www-personal.umd.umich.edu/~tmfiore/1/music.html
