Geometry and Nature

This volume is the outgrowth of a conference devoted to William K. Clifford entitled, "New Trends in Geometrical and Topological Methods", which was held at the University of Madeira in July and August 1995. The aim of the conference was to bring together active workers in fields linked to Clifford's work and to foster the exchange of ideas between mathematicians and theoretical physicists. Divided into 6 one-day sessions, each session was devoted to a specific aspect of Clifford's work. This volume is an attempt to bring the Clifford legacy in a new perspective to a larger community of mathematicians and physicists. New concepts, ideas, and results stemming from Clifford's work are discussed. Containing papers presented or submitted to the conference, each article is self-contained.

Multidimensional Complex Analysis and Partial Differential Equations

This collection of papers by outstanding contributors in analysis, partial differential equations and several complex variables is dedicated to Professor Treves in honour of his 65th birthday. There are five excellent survey articles covering analytic singularities, holomorphically nondegenerate algebraic hypersurfaces, analyticity of CR mappings, removable singularities of vector fields and local solvability for systems of vector fields. The other papers are original research contributions on topics such as Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations, Toeplitz operators, elliptic structures, complexification of Lie groups, and pseudo-differential operators.

Birational Algebraic Geometry

Ten research reports illustrate the many directions the field is taking, and feature problems on special models such as Fanos and their fibrations, adjunctions and subadjunction formuli, and projectivity and projective embeddings. Also included are a eulogy and bibliography for the mathematician Chow, who was at Johns Hopkins since the 1940s. No index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Lipa's Legacy

The mathematical works of Lars Ahlfors and Lipman Bers are fundamental and lasting. They have influenced and altered the development of twentieth century mathematics. The personalities of these two scientists helped create a mathematical family and have had a permanent positive effect on a whole generation of mathematicians. Their mathematical heritage continues to lead succeeding generations. In the fall of 1994, one year after Bers' death, some members of this family decided to inaugurate a series of conferences, "The Bers Colloquium", to be held every three years. The theme was to be a topic in the Ahlfors-Bers mathematical tradition, broadly interpreted. Ahlfors died a year after the fir...

Recent Progress in Algebra

This volume presents the proceedings of the international conference on "Recent Progress in Algebra" that was held at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and Korea Institute for Advanced Study (KIAS). It brought together experts in the field to discuss progress in algebra, combinatorics, algebraic geometry and number theory. This book contains selected papers contributed by conference participants. The papers cover a wide range of topics and reflect the current state of research in modern algebra.

Topological Dynamics and Applications

Topological Dynamics and Applications

This book is a very readable exposition of the modern theory of topological dynamics and presents diverse applications to such areas as ergodic theory, combinatorial number theory and differential equations. There are three parts: 1) The abstract theory of topological dynamics is discussed, including a comprehensive survey by Furstenberg and Glasner on the work and influence of R. Ellis. Presented in book form for the first time are new topics in the theory of dynamical systems, such as weak almost-periodicity, hidden eigenvalues, a natural family of factors and topological analogues of ergodic decomposition. 2) The power of abstract techniques is demonstrated by giving a very wide range of applications to areas of ergodic theory, combinatorial number theory, random walks on groups and others. 3) Applications to non-autonomous linear differential equations are shown. Exposition on recent results about Floquet theory, bifurcation theory and Lyapanov exponents is given.

Integer Points in Polyhedra -- Geometry, Number Theory, Algebra, Optimization

The AMS-IMS-SIAM Summer Research Conference on Integer Points in Polyhedra took place in Snowbird (UT). This proceedings volume contains original research and survey articles stemming from that event. Topics covered include commutative algebra, optimization, discrete geometry, statistics, representation theory, and symplectic geometry. The book is suitable for researchers and graduate students interested in combinatorial aspects of the above fields.

Recent Developments in Optimization Theory and Nonlinear Analysis

This volume contains the refereed proceedings of the special session on Optimization and Nonlinear Analysis held at the Joint American Mathematical Society-Israel Mathematical Union Meeting which took place at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in May 1995. Most of the papers in this book originated from the lectures delivered at this special session. In addition, some participants who didn't present lectures and invited speakers who were unable to attend contributed their work. The fields of optimization theory and nonlinear analysis continue to be very active. This book presents not only the wide spectrum and diversity of the results, but also their manifold connections to other areas, suc...

Geometry, Spectral Theory, Groups, and Dynamics

This volume contains articles based on talks given at the Robert Brooks Memorial Conference on Geometry and Spectral Theory and the Workshop on Groups, Geometry and Dynamics held at Technion - the Israel Institute of Technology (Haifa). Robert Brooks' (1952 - 2002) broad range of mathematical interests is represented in the volume, which is devoted to various aspects of global analysis, spectral theory, the theory of Riemann surfaces, Riemannian and discrete geometry, and numbertheory. A survey of Brooks' work has been written by his close colleague, Peter Buser. Also included in the volume are articles on analytic topics, such as Szego's theorem, and on geometric topics, such as isoperimetric inequalities and symmetries of manifolds. The book is suitable for graduate studentsand researchers interested in various aspects of geometry and global analysis.

Ultrametric Functional Analysis

With contributions by leading mathematicians, this proceedings volume reflects the program of the Eighth International Conference on $p$-adic Functional Analysis held at Blaise Pascal University (Clermont-Ferrand, France). Articles in the book offer a comprehensive overview of research in the area. A wide range of topics are covered, including basic ultrametric functional analysis, topological vector spaces, measure and integration, Choquet theory, Banach and topological algebras,analytic functions (in particular, in connection with algebraic geometry), roots of rational functions and Frobenius structure in $p$-adic differential equations, and $q$-ultrametric calculus. The material is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in number theory, functionalanalysis, and algebra.
