Perspectives in Representation Theory
This volume contains the proceedings of the conference Perspectives in Representation Theory, held from May 12-17, 2012, at Yale University, in honor of Igor Frenkel's 60th birthday. The aim of the conference was to present current progress on the following (interrelated) topics: vertex operator algebras and chiral algebras, conformal field theory, the (geometric) Langlands program, affine Lie algebras, Kac-Moody algebras, quantum groups, crystal bases and canonical bases, quantum cohomology and K-theory, geometric representation theory, categorification, higher-dimensional Kac-Moody theory, integrable systems, quiver varieties, representations of real and -adic groups, and quantum gauge theories. The papers in this volume present representation theory connections to numerous other subjects, as well as some of the most recent advances in representation theory, including those which occurred thanks to the application of techniques in other areas of mathematics, and of ideas of quantum field theory and string theory.
Symmetries in Complex Analysis
"The theme of this volume concerns interactions between group actions and problems in complex analysis." "The first four articles deal with such topics as representation kernels in representation theory, complex automorphisms and holomorphic equivalence of domains, and geometric description of exceptional symmetric domains. The last article is devoted to Seiberg-Witten equations and Taubes correspondence on symplectic 4-manifolds."--BOOK JACKET.
Semigroups in Algebra, Geometry and Analysis
The aim of the series is to present new and important developments in pure and applied mathematics. Well established in the community over two decades, it offers a large library of mathematics including several important classics. The volumes supply thorough and detailed expositions of the methods and ideas essential to the topics in question. In addition, they convey their relationships to other parts of mathematics. The series is addressed to advanced readers wishing to thoroughly study the topic. Editorial Board Lev Birbrair, Universidade Federal do Ceará, Fortaleza, Brasil Walter D.

Peter Suranyi 87th Birthday Festschrift: A Life In Quantum Field Theory
This is a Festschrift compiled in honor of Professor Peter Suranyi, Professor Emeritus, University of Cincinnati. In a long career spanning almost 60 years, Professor Suranyi has made valuable contributions in many areas of theoretical physics, especially in the fields of strong interaction physics, quantum field theory, particle physics, statistical mechanics, lattice field theory, condensed matter physics, and particle cosmology. His important contributions range from analysis of Regge poles in quantum field theory, work on Reggeon field theory, developing improved perturbation theory methods and numerical simulation techniques, analyzing rigidity percolation and molecular clustering in network glasses, to his recent work on Bose condensate dark matter. This volume is our way of paying tribute to his scientific achievements, mentoring prowess, and his rigorous outlook on theoretical physics.

The Moment-Weight Inequality and the Hilbert–Mumford Criterion
This book provides an introduction to geometric invariant theory from a differential geometric viewpoint. It is inspired by certain infinite-dimensional analogues of geometric invariant theory that arise naturally in several different areas of geometry. The central ingredients are the moment-weight inequality relating the Mumford numerical invariants to the norm of the moment map, the negative gradient flow of the moment map squared, and the Kempf--Ness function. The exposition is essentially self-contained, except for an appeal to the Lojasiewicz gradient inequality. A broad variety of examples illustrate the theory, and five appendices cover essential topics that go beyond the basic concepts of differential geometry. The comprehensive bibliography will be a valuable resource for researchers. The book is addressed to graduate students and researchers interested in geometric invariant theory and related subjects. It will be easily accessible to readers with a basic understanding of differential geometry and does not require any knowledge of algebraic geometry.
Perverse Sheaves and Applications to Representation Theory
Since its inception around 1980, the theory of perverse sheaves has been a vital tool of fundamental importance in geometric representation theory. This book, which aims to make this theory accessible to students and researchers, is divided into two parts. The first six chapters give a comprehensive account of constructible and perverse sheaves on complex algebraic varieties, including such topics as Artin's vanishing theorem, smooth descent, and the nearby cycles functor. This part of the book also has a chapter on the equivariant derived category, and brief surveys of side topics including étale and ℓ-adic sheaves, D-modules, and algebraic stacks. The last four chapters of the book show...
