An Introduction to the Circle Method
The circle method, pioneered by Ramanujan and Hardy in the early 20th century, has over the past 100 years become part of the standard tool chest of analytic number theory. Its scope of applications is ever-expanding, and the subject continues to see important breakthroughs. This book provides an introduction to the circle method that is accessible to undergraduate students with no background in number theory. The authors' goal is to show the students the elegance of the circle method and at the same time give a complete solution of the famous Waring problem as an illustration of the method. The first half of this book is a curated introduction to elementary number theory with an emphasis on topics needed for the second half. The second half showcases the two most “classic” applications of the circle method, to Waring's problem (following Hardy–Littlewood–Hua) and to Goldbach's conjectures (following Vinogradov, with improvements by Vaughan). This text is suitable for a one-semester undergraduate course or for independent study and will be a great entry point into this fascinating area of research.
My Mathematical Universe: People, Personalities, And The Profession
This is an autobiography and an exposition on the contributions and personalities of many of the leading researchers in mathematics and physics with whom Dr Krishna Alladi, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Florida, has had personal interaction with for over six decades. Discussions of various aspects of the physics and mathematics academic professions are included.Part I begins with the author's unusual and frequent introductions as a young boy to scientific luminaries like Nobel Laureates Niels Bohr, Murray Gell-Mann, and Richard Feynman, in the company of his father, the scientist Alladi Ramakrishnan. Also in Part I is an exciting account of how the author started his research...
SCHOLAR -- a Scientific Celebration Highlighting Open Lines of Arithmetic Research
M. Ram Murty has had a profound impact on the development of number theory throughout the world. To honor his mathematical legacy, a conference focusing on new research directions in number theory inspired by his most significant achievements was held from October 15-17, 2013, at the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques in Montréal. This proceedings volume is representative of the broad spectrum of topics that were addressed at the conference, such as elliptic curves, function field arithmetic, Galois representations, -functions, modular forms and automorphic forms, sieve methods, and transcendental number theory. This book is co-published with the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques.
Multiple Dirichlet Series, Automorphic Forms, and Analytic Number Theory
Multiple Dirichlet series are Dirichlet series in several complex variables. A multiple Dirichlet series is said to be perfect if it satisfies a finite group of functional equations and has meromorphic continuation everywhere. The earliest examples came from Mellin transforms of metaplectic Eisenstein series and have been intensively studied over the last twenty years. More recently, many other examples have been discovered and it appears that all the classical theorems on moments of $L$-functions as well as the conjectures (such as those predicted by random matrix theory) can now be obtained via the theory of multiple Dirichlet series. Furthermore, new results, not obtainable by other methods, are just coming to light. This volume offers an account of some of the major research to date and the opportunities for the future. It includes an exposition of the main results in the theory of multiple Dirichlet series, and papers on moments of zeta- and $L$-functions, on new examples of multiple Dirichlet
Contributions to the Theory of Zeta-Functions
This volume provides a systematic survey of almost all the equivalent assertions to the functional equations - zeta symmetry - which zeta-functions satisfy, thus streamlining previously published results on zeta-functions. The equivalent relations are given in the form of modular relations in Fox H-function series, which at present include all that have been considered as candidates for ingredients of a series. The results are presented in a clear and simple manner for readers to readily apply without much knowledge of zeta-functions. This volume aims to keep a record of the 150-year-old heritage starting from Riemann on zeta-functions, which are ubiquitous in all mathematical sciences, wherever there is a notion of the norm. It provides almost all possible equivalent relations to the zeta-functions without requiring a reader's deep knowledge on their definitions. This can be an ideal reference book for those studying zeta-functions.
Number Theory Related to Modular Curves
This volume contains the proceedings of the Barcelona-Boston-Tokyo Number Theory Seminar, which was held in memory of Fumiyuki Momose, a distinguished number theorist from Chuo University in Tokyo. Momose, who was a student of Yasutaka Ihara, made important contributions to the theory of Galois representations attached to modular forms, rational points on elliptic and modular curves, modularity of some families of Abelian varieties, and applications of arithmetic geometry to cryptography. Papers contained in this volume cover these general themes in addition to discussing Momose's contributions as well as recent work and new results.
The Mathematics of Cellular Automata
This textbook offers a rigorous mathematical introduction to cellular automata (CA). Numerous colorful graphics illustrate the many intriguing phenomena, inviting undergraduates to step into the rich field of symbolic dynamics. Beginning with a brief history, the first half of the book establishes the mathematical foundations of cellular automata. After recapping the essentials from advanced calculus, the chapters that follow introduce symbolic spaces, equicontinuity, and attractors. More advanced topics include the Garden of Eden theorem and Conway's Game of Life, and a chapter on stochastic CA showcases a model of virus spread. Exercises and labs end each chapter, covering a range of applications, both mathematical and physical. Designed for undergraduates studying mathematics and related areas, the text provides ample opportunities for end-of-semester projects or further study. Computer use for the labs is largely optional, providing flexibility for different preferences and resources. Knowledge of advanced calculus and linear algebra is essential, while a course in real analysis would be ideal.
