Higher Spinor Classes

This work defines the higher spinor classes of an orthogonal representation of a Galois group. These classes are higher-degree analogues of the Fröhlich spinor class, which quantify the difference between the Stiefel-Whitney classes of an orthogonal representation and the Hasse-Witt classes of the associated form. Jardine establishes various basic properties, including vanishing in odd degrees and an induction formula for quadratic field extensions. The methods used include the homotopy theory of simplicial presheaves and the action of the Steenrod algebra on mod 2 étale cohomology.

Constant Mean Curvature Immersions of Enneper Type

This memoir is devoted to the case of constant mean curvature surfaces immersed in [bold]R3. We reduce this geometrical problem to finding certain integrable solutions to the Gauss equation. Many new and interesting examples are presented, including immersed cylinders in [bold]R3 with embedded Delaunay ends and [italic]n-lobes in the middle, and one-parameter families of immersed constant mean curvature tori in [bold]R3. We examine minimal surfaces in hyperbolic three-space, which is in some ways the most complicated case.

The Cohen-Macaulay and Gorenstein Rees Algebras Associated to Filtrations

At first, this volume was intended to be an investigation of symbolic blow-up rings for prime ideals defining curve singularities. The motivation for that has come from the recent 3-dimensional counterexamples to Cowsik's question, given by the authors and Watanabe: it has to be helpful, for further researches on Cowsik's question and a related problem of Kronecker, to generalize their methods to those of a higher dimension. However, while the study was progressing, it proved apparent that the framework of Part I still works, not only for the rather special symbolic blow-up rings but also in the study of Rees algebras R(F) associated to general filtrations F = {F[subscript]n} [subscript]n [subscript][set membership symbol][subscript bold]Z of ideals. This observation is closely explained in Part II of this volume, as a general ring-theory of Rees algebras R(F). We are glad if this volume will be a new starting point for the further researchers on Rees algebras R(F) and their associated graded rings G(F).

Phantom Homology

This book uses a powerful new technique, tight closure, to provide insight into many different problems that were previously not recognized as related. The authors develop the notion of weakly Cohen-Macaulay rings or modules and prove some very general acyclicity theorems. These theorems are applied to the new theory of phantom homology, which uses tight closure techniques to show that certain elements in the homology of complexes must vanish when mapped to well-behaved rings. These ideas are used to strengthen various local homological conjectures. Initially, the authors develop the theory in positive characteristic, but it can be extended to characteristic 0 by the method of reduction to characteristic $p$. The book would be suitable for use in an advanced graduate course in commutative algebra.

Filtrations on the Homology of Algebraic Varieties

This work provides a detailed exposition of a classical topic from a very recent viewpoint. Friedlander and Mazur describe some foundational aspects of ``Lawson homology'' for complex projective algebraic varieties, a homology theory defined in terms of homotopy groups of spaces of algebraic cycles. Attention is paid to methods of group completing abelian topological monoids. The authors study properties of Chow varieties, especially in connection with algebraic correspondences relating algebraic varieties. Operations on Lawson homology are introduced and analysed. These operations lead to a filtration on the singular homology of algebraic varieties, which is identified in terms of correspondences and related to classical filtrations of Hodge and Grothendieck.

Abelian Coverings of the Complex Projective Plane Branched along Configurations of Real Lines

This work studies abelian branched coverings of smooth complex projective surfaces from the topological viewpoint. Geometric information about the coverings (such as the first Betti numbers of a smooth model or intersections of embedded curves) is related to topological and combinatorial information about the base space and branch locus. Special attention is given to examples in which the base space is the complex projective plane and the branch locus is a configuration of lines.

Minimal Surfaces in Riemannian Manifolds

A multiple solution theory to the Plateau problem in a Riemannian manifold is established. In [italic capital]S[superscript italic]n, the existence of two solutions to this problem is obtained. The Morse-Tompkins-Shiffman Theorem is extended to the case when the ambient space admits no minimal sphere.
