This book is, on the one hand, a pedagogical introduction to the formalism of slopes, of semi-stability and of related concepts in the simplest possible context. It is therefore accessible to any graduate student with a basic knowledge in algebraic geometry and algebraic groups. On the other hand, the book also provides a thorough introduction to the basics of period domains, as they appear in the geometric approach to local Langlands correspondences and in the recent conjectural p-adic local Langlands program. The authors provide numerous worked examples and establish many connections to topics in the general area of algebraic groups over finite and local fields. In addition, the end of each section includes remarks on open questions, historical context and references to the literature.
Presents, through a mix of research and expository articles, some of the fascinating new directions in number theory and representation theory arising from recent developments in the Langlands program. Special emphasis is placed on nonclassical versions of the conjectural Langlands correspondences, where the underlying field is no longer the complex numbers.
The three voyages undertaken by the Dutch, towards the close of the sixteenth century, with a view to the discovery of a north-east passage to China, are deservedly placed among the most remarkable exploits of that enterprising nation; while the ten months’ residence of the adventurous seamen at the furthest extremity of the inhospitable region of Novaya Zemlya, within little more than fourteen degrees of the North Pole, and their homeward voyage of upwards of seventeen hundred geographical miles in two small open boats, are events full of romantic interest. The republication by the Hakluyt Society of the narrative of these three voyages, is most appropriate at this particular juncture, wh...

"Si l'oeuvre de Walker Evans (1903-1975) est strictement photographique, la photographie ne constitue qu'un aspect, mais très important, de celle de Dan Graham. Pour ces deux artistes américains, la photographie représente une manière d'approfondir leur intérêt pour l'architecture, la vie urbaine et la culture vernaculaire. Walker Evans réalisa l'essentiel de son oeuvre dans les années 1930, réunissant un ensemble d'images qui préfigurent le Pop Art. Dan Graham s'est manifesté dans l'art conceptuel des années 1960, comme l'un des artistes qui ont repris le plus consciemment l'héritage du Pop Art. L'exposition a été conçue par l'historien d'art Jean-François Chevrier. Les photographies et les textes du livre qui l'accompagnent devraient mettre en évidence les constantes formelles et culturelles communes à l'histoire des arts visuels et à l'histoire de la photographie."--Page 4 de la couverture.
