Summer School in Group Theory in Banff, 1996
The third annual CRM Summer School took place in Banff (Alberta, Canada) and was aimed toward advanced students and recent PhDs. This volume presents surveys from the group theory part of the theme year and examines different approaches to the topic: a geometric approach, an approach using methods from logic, and an approach with roots in the Bass-Serre theory of groups acting on trees. The work offers a concise introduction to current directions of research in combinatorial group theory. Surveys in the text are by leading researchers in the field who are experienced expositors. The text is suitable for use in a graduate course in geometric and combinatorial group theory.
Dynamical Systems
In at least five countries in Latin America, high level research in the field in taking place. To stimulate this development both at home and abroad, Chilean mathematicians have been promoting international meetings like the III International School of Dynamical Systems, which took place at the Universidad de Santiago de Chile-Santiago in 1990. A number of distinguished mathematicians were present at the meeting, side by side with younger people interested in the subject. Several of the participants submitted original contributions to these proceedings of the school. The topics of the papers are central to dynamics: ergodic theory, real and complex foliations, fractal dimensions, polynomial vector fields, hyperbolicity, and expansive maps. Notes on the ergodic theory of plane billiards are also included. This book will be of particular interest to researchers and graduate students working in mathematics, particularly in ordinary differential equations, bifurcation theory, and dynamical systems. Also those working in mathematical physics and physics.
Geometry, Groups and Dynamics
This volume contains the proceedings of the ICTS Program: Groups, Geometry and Dynamics, held December 3-16, 2012, at CEMS, Almora, India. The activity was an academic tribute to Ravi S. Kulkarni on his turning seventy. Articles included in this volume, both introductory and advanced surveys, represent the broad area of geometry that encompasses a large portion of group theory (finite or otherwise) and dynamics in its proximity. These areas have been influenced by Kulkarni's ideas and are closely related to his work and contribution.
Geometry of Foliations
Surveys research over the past few years at a level accessible to graduate students and researchers with a background in differential and Riemannian geometry. Among the topics are foliations of codimension one, holonomy, Lie foliations, basic forms, mean curvature, the Hodge theory for the transversal Laplacian, applications of the heat equation method to Riemannian foliations, the spectral theory, Connes' perspective of foliations as examples of non- commutative spaces, and infinite-dimensional examples. The bibliographic appendices list books and surveys on particular aspects of foliations, proceedings of conferences and symposia, all papers on the subject up to 1995, and the numbers of papers published on the subject during the years 1990-95.

Handbook of Dynamical Systems
Volumes 1A and 1B.These volumes give a comprehensive survey of dynamics written by specialists in the various subfields of dynamical systems. The presentation attains coherence through a major introductory survey by the editors that organizes the entire subject, and by ample cross-references between individual surveys.The volumes are a valuable resource for dynamicists seeking to acquaint themselves with other specialties in the field, and to mathematicians active in other branches of mathematics who wish to learn about contemporary ideas and results dynamics. Assuming only general mathematical knowledge the surveys lead the reader towards the current state of research in dynamics.Volume 1B will appear 2005.
On the Topology of Isolated Singularities in Analytic Spaces
Offers an overview of selected topics on the topology of singularities, with emphasis on its relations to other branches of geometry and topology. This book studies real analytic singularities which arise from the topological and geometric study of holomorphic vector fields and foliations.
Algebraic Geometry
"Surveys and applies fundamental ideas and techniques in the theory of curves, surfaces, and threefolds to a wide variety of subjects. Furnishes all of the basic definitions necessary for understanding and provides interrelated articles that support and refer to one another."
Metric Spaces of Non-Positive Curvature
A description of the global properties of simply-connected spaces that are non-positively curved in the sense of A. D. Alexandrov, and the structure of groups which act on such spaces by isometries. The theory of these objects is developed in a manner accessible to anyone familiar with the rudiments of topology and group theory: non-trivial theorems are proved by concatenating elementary geometric arguments, and many examples are given. Part I provides an introduction to the geometry of geodesic spaces, while Part II develops the basic theory of spaces with upper curvature bounds. More specialized topics, such as complexes of groups, are covered in Part III.
Singularities in Geometry, Topology, Foliations and Dynamics
This book features state-of-the-art research on singularities in geometry, topology, foliations and dynamics and provides an overview of the current state of singularity theory in these settings. Singularity theory is at the crossroad of various branches of mathematics and science in general. In recent years there have been remarkable developments, both in the theory itself and in its relations with other areas. The contributions in this volume originate from the “Workshop on Singularities in Geometry, Topology, Foliations and Dynamics”, held in Merida, Mexico, in December 2014, in celebration of José Seade’s 60th Birthday. It is intended for researchers and graduate students interested in singularity theory and its impact on other fields.
