Algebras of Functions on Quantum Groups: Part I

The text is devoted to the study of algebras of functions on quantum groups. The book includes the theory of Poisson-Lie algebras (quasi-classical version of algebras of functions on quantum groups), a description of representations of algebras of functions and the theory of quantum Weyl groups. It can serve as a text for an introduction to the theory of quantum groups and is intended for graduate students and research mathematicians working in algebra, representation theory and mathematical physics.

Continuous Cohomology, Discrete Subgroups, and Representations of Reductive Groups

It has been nearly twenty years since the first edition of this work. In the intervening years, there has been immense progress in the use of homological algebra to construct admissible representations and in the study of arithmetic groups. This second edition is a corrected and expanded version of the original, which was an important catalyst in the expansion of the field. Besides the fundamental material on cohomology and discrete subgroups present in the first edition, this edition also contains expositions of some of the most important developments of the last two decades.

Arithmetic and Analytic Theories of Quadratic Forms and Clifford Groups

In this book, award-winning author Goro Shimura treats new areas and presents relevant expository material in a clear and readable style. Topics include Witt's theorem and the Hasse principle on quadratic forms, algebraic theory of Clifford algebras, spin groups, and spin representations. He also includes some basic results not readily found elsewhere. The two principle themes are: (1) Quadratic Diophantine equations; (2) Euler products and Eisenstein series on orthogonal groups and Clifford groups. The starting point of the first theme is the result of Gauss that the number of primitive representations of an integer as the sum of three squares is essentially the class number of primitive bi...

The Semicircle Law, Free Random Variables and Entropy

The book treats free probability theory, which has been extensively developed since the early 1980s. The emphasis is put on entropy and the random matrix model approach. The volume is a unique presentation demonstrating the extensive interrelation between the topics. Wigner's theorem and its broad generalizations, such as asymptotic freeness of independent matrices, are explained in detail. Consistent throughout the book is the parallelism between the normal and semicircle laws. Voiculescu's multivariate free entropy theory is presented with full proofs and extends the results to unitary operators. Some applications to operator algebras are also given. Based on lectures given by the authors ...

Representations of Algebraic Groups

Gives an introduction to the general theory of representations of algebraic group schemes. This title deals with representation theory of reductive algebraic groups and includes topics such as the description of simple modules, vanishing theorems, Borel-Bott-Weil theorem and Weyl's character formula, and Schubert schemes and lne bundles on them.

Stochastic Partial Differential Equations: Six Perspectives

The field of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (SPDEs) is one of the most dynamically developing areas of mathematics. It lies at the cross section of probability, partial differential equations, population biology, and mathematical physics. The field is especially attractive because of its interdisciplinary nature and the enormous richness of current and potential future applications. This volume is a collection of six important topics in SPDEs presented from the viewpoint of distinguished scientists working in the field and related areas. Emphasized are the genesis and applications of SPDEs as well as mathematical theory and numerical methods. .

Lusternik-Schnirelmann Category

''Lusternik-Schnirelmann category is like a Picasso painting. Looking at category from different perspectives produces completely different impressions of category's beauty and applicability.'' --from the Introduction Lusternik-Schnirelmann category is a subject with ties to both algebraic topology and dynamical systems. The authors take LS-category as the central theme, and then develop topics in topology and dynamics around it. Included are exercises and many examples. The book presents the material in a rich, expository style. The book provides a unified approach to LS-category, including foundational material on homotopy theoretic aspects, the Lusternik-Schnirelmann theorem on critical points, and more advanced topics such as Hopf invariants, the construction of functions with few critical points, connections with symplectic geometry, the complexity of algorithms, and category of $3$-manifolds. This is the first book to synthesize these topics. It takes readers from the very basics of the subject to the state of the art. Prerequisites are few: two semesters of algebraic topology and, perhaps, differential topology. It is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested

Evolution Semigroups in Dynamical Systems and Differential Equations

The main theme of the book is the spectral theory for evolution operators and evolution semigroups, a subject tracing its origins to the classical results of J. Mather on hyperbolic dynamical systems and J. Howland on nonautonomous Cauchy problems. The authors use a wide range of methods and offer a unique presentation. The authors give a unifying approach for a study of infinite-dimensional nonautonomous problems, which is based on the consistent use of evolution semigroups. This unifying idea connects various questions in stability of semigroups, infinite-dimensional hyperbolic linear skew-product flows, translation Banach algebras, transfer operators, stability radii in control theory, Ly...

Gaussian Measures

This book gives a systematic exposition of the modern theory of Gaussian measures. It presents with complete and detailed proofs fundamental facts about finite and infinite dimensional Gaussian distributions. Covered topics include linear properties, convexity, linear and nonlinear transformations, and applications to Gaussian and diffusion processes. Suitable for use as a graduate text and/or a reference work, this volume contains many examples, exercises, and an extensive bibliography. It brings together many results that have not appeared previously in book form.

The Classification of Quasithin Groups

In around 1980, G. Mason announced the classification of a subclass of an important class of finite simple groups known as 'quasithin groups'. In the main theorem of this two-part work the authors provide a proof of a stronger theorem classifying a larger class of groups independently of Mason's research.
