Based on the proceedings of the conference held at the University of Iowa, in honour and celebration of the mathematician T.G. Ostrom's 80th birthday, this text focuses on finite geometries as well as topological geometries in the infinite case, some of which originate with ideas of finite geometric objects. It includes information about flocks of quadratic cones and related geometric and combinatorial structures.
This volume is the proceedings of a conference on Finite Geometries, Groups, and Computation that took place on September 4-9, 2004, at Pingree Park, Colorado (a campus of Colorado State University). Not accidentally, the conference coincided with the 60th birthday of William Kantor, and the topics relate to his major research areas. Participants were encouraged to explore the deeper interplay between these fields. The survey papers by Kantor, O'Brien, and Penttila should serve to introduce both students and the broader mathematical community to these important topics and some of their connections while the volume as a whole gives an overview of current developments in these fields.
This collection of tutorial and research papers introduces readers to diverse areas of modern pure and applied algebraic combinatorics and finite geometries. There is special emphasis on algorithmic aspects and the use of the theory of Gröbner bases.
This volume contains the proceedings of the 16th Carolina Dynamics Symposium, held from April 13–15, 2018, at Agnes Scott College, Decatur, Georgia. The papers cover various topics in dynamics and randomness, including complex dynamics, ergodic theory, topological dynamics, celestial mechanics, symbolic dynamics, computational topology, random processes, and regular languages. The intent is to provide a glimpse of the richness of the field and of the common threads that tie the different specialties together.
This volume contains the proceedings of the Workshop on Motivic Homotopy Theory and Refined Enumerative Geometry, held from May 14–18, 2018, at the Universität Duisburg-Essen, Essen, Germany. It constitutes an accessible yet swift introduction to a new and active area within algebraic geometry, which connects well with classical intersection theory. Combining both lecture notes aimed at the graduate student level and research articles pointing towards the manifold promising applications of this refined approach, it broadly covers refined enumerative algebraic geometry.
This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Applications Coding Theory and Design Theory Part I: Coding Theory is based on the proceedings of a workshop which was an integral part of the 1987-88 IMA program on APPLIED COMBINATORICS. We are grateful to the Scientific Committee: Victor Klee (Chairman), Daniel Kleitman, Dijen Ray-Chaudhuri and Dennis Stanton for planning and implementing an exciting and stimulating year long program. We especially thank the Workshop Organizer, Dijen Ray-Chaudhuri, for organizing a workshop which brought together many of the major figures in a variety of research fields in which coding theory and design theory are used.

This interdisciplinary volume contains papers from both a conference and special session on Error-Control Codes, Information Theory and Applied Cryptography. The conference was held at the Fields Institute in Toronto, On, Canada from December 5-6, 2007, and the special session was held at the Canadian Mathematical Society's winter meeting in London, ON, Canada from December 8-10, 2007. The volume features cutting-edge theoretical results on the Reed-Muller and Reed-Solomon codes, classical linear codes, codes from nets and block designs, LDPC codes, perfect quantum and orthogonal codes, iterative decoding, magnetic storage and digital memory devices, and MIMO channels. There are new contribu...
This volume contains the proceedings of the conference Dynamics: Topology and Numbers, held from July 2–6, 2018, at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, Bonn, Germany. The papers cover diverse fields of mathematics with a unifying theme of relation to dynamical systems. These include arithmetic geometry, flat geometry, complex dynamics, graph theory, relations to number theory, and topological dynamics. The volume is dedicated to the memory of Sergiy Kolyada and also contains some personal accounts of his life and mathematics.
