The Scattered Court
Presents a new history of how Hindustani court music responded to the political transitions of the nineteenth century. How far did colonialism transform north Indian music? In the period between the Mughal empire and the British Raj, how did the political landscape bleed into aesthetics, music, dance, and poetry? Examining musical culture through a diverse and multilingual archive, primarily using sources in Urdu, Bengali, and Hindi that have not been translated or critically examined before, The Scattered Court challenges our assumptions about the period. Richard David Williams presents a long history of interactions between northern India and Bengal, with a core focus on the two courts of ...
Pseudo-reductive Groups
Pseudo-reductive groups arise naturally in the study of general smooth linear algebraic groups over non-perfect fields and have many important applications. This self-contained monograph provides a comprehensive treatment of the theory of pseudo-reductive groups and gives their classification in a usable form. The authors present numerous new results and also give a complete exposition of Tits' structure theory of unipotent groups. They prove the conjugacy results (conjugacy of maximal split tori, minimal pseudo-parabolic subgroups, maximal split unipotent subgroups) announced by Armand Borel and Jacques Tits, and also give the Bruhat decomposition, of general smooth connected algebraic groups. Researchers and graduate students working in any related area, such as algebraic geometry, algebraic group theory, or number theory, will value this book as it develops tools likely to be used in tackling other problems.
Bruhat–Tits Theory
Comprehensive treatment of Bruhat-Tits theory for graduate students and researchers in number theory, representation theory, and algebraic geometry.
It Was Not Gold
“It Was Not Gold” is a story relating to gold smuggling. A consignment of gold was intercepted and seized which was later on found to be a replica made of brass instead of gold, leading to suspicion of substitution. The testing was done based on an unusual plea made by a young lawyer before the court. Two different agencies conducted the investigation separately and bit by bit the mystery of missing gold was solved. Everyone in the gold trade, the lawyers and the officers, suspected that the young lady lawyer had prior knowledge that it was not gold. The suspense in the book is kept alive till the last page.
The Theatre of Nepal and the People Who Make It
Examines Nepali theatre history, artists' personal lives, and political and social conditions that shape theatrical expression in Nepal.
Classification of Pseudo-reductive Groups (AM-191)
In the earlier monograph Pseudo-reductive Groups, Brian Conrad, Ofer Gabber, and Gopal Prasad explored the general structure of pseudo-reductive groups. In this new book, Classification of Pseudo-reductive Groups, Conrad and Prasad go further to study the classification over an arbitrary field. An isomorphism theorem proved here determines the automorphism schemes of these groups. The book also gives a Tits-Witt type classification of isotropic groups and displays a cohomological obstruction to the existence of pseudo-split forms. Constructions based on regular degenerate quadratic forms and new techniques with central extensions provide insight into new phenomena in characteristic 2, which also leads to simplifications of the earlier work. A generalized standard construction is shown to account for all possibilities up to mild central extensions. The results and methods developed in Classification of Pseudo-reductive Groups will interest mathematicians and graduate students who work with algebraic groups in number theory and algebraic geometry in positive characteristic.
