"A natural question that sits at the nexus of algebraic geometry, differential geometry, and geometric group theory is: which groups can be realized as fundamental groups of compact Kähler manifolds, called "Kähler groups"? Roughly speaking, the fundamental group of a manifold measures the number of "holes." Many restrictions are known, and many examples are known; but mathematicians are far from having a precise conjecture about which groups are Kähler. The question serves as a fruitful connection between several major areas of geometry and complex analysis. Py's book is an up-to-date pedagogical survey of the central theorems and methods for the study of Kähler groups including, where ...
This book provides an introduction to topics in non-equilibrium quantum statistical physics for both mathematicians and theoretical physicists. The first part introduces a kinetic equation, of Kolmogorov type, which is needed to describe an isolated atom (actually, in experiments, an ion) under the effect of a classical pumping electromagnetic field which keeps the atom in its excited state(s) together with the random emission of fluorescence photons which put it back into its ground state. The quantum kinetic theory developed in the second part is an extension of Boltzmann's classical (non-quantum) kinetic theory of a dilute gas of quantum bosons. This is the source of many interesting fundamental questions, particularly because, if the temperature is low enough, such a gas is known to have at equilibrium a transition, the Bose–Einstein transition, where a finite portion of the particles stay in the quantum ground state. An important question considered is how a Bose gas condensate develops in time if its energy is initially low enough.
This collection of contributed articles comprises the scientific program of the fifth annual Prairie Analysis Seminar. All articles represent important current advances in the areas of partial differential equations, harmonic analysis, and Fourier analysis. A range of interrelated topics is presented, with articles concerning Painleve removability, pseudodifferential operators, $A p$ weights, nonlinear Schrodinger equations, singular integrals, the wave equation, the Benjamin-Ono equation, quasi-geostrophic equations, quasiconformal mappings, integral inclusions, Bellman function methods, weighted gradient estimates, Hankel operators, and dynamic optimization problems. Most importantly, the articles illustrate the fruitful interaction between harmonic analysis, Fourier analysis, and partial differential equations, and illustrate the successful application of techniques and ideas from each of these areas to the others.
The aim of this book is to provide beginning graduate students who completed the first two semesters of graduate-level analysis and PDE courses with a first exposure to the mathematical analysis of the incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. The book gives a concise introduction to the fundamental results in the well-posedness theory of these PDEs, leaving aside some of the technical challenges presented by bounded domains or by intricate functional spaces. Chapters 1 and 2 cover the fundamentals of the Euler theory: derivation, Eulerian and Lagrangian perspectives, vorticity, special solutions, existence theory for smooth solutions, and blowup criteria. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 cover ...
Written in honor of Victor Havin (1933–2015), this volume presents a collection of surveys and original papers on harmonic and complex analysis, function spaces and related topics, authored by internationally recognized experts in the fields. It also features an illustrated scientific biography of Victor Havin, one of the leading analysts of the second half of the 20th century and founder of the Saint Petersburg Analysis Seminar. A complete list of his publications, as well as his public speech "Mathematics as a source of certainty and uncertainty", presented at the Doctor Honoris Causa ceremony at Linköping University, are also included.
