Algebras, Representations and Applications
This volume contains contributions from the conference on "Algebras, Representations and Applications" (Maresias, Brazil, August 26-September 1, 2007), in honor of Ivan Shestakov's 60th birthday. The collection of papers presented here is of great interest to graduate students and researchers working in the theory of Lie and Jordan algebras and superalgebras and their representations, Hopf algebras, Poisson algebras, Quantum Groups, Group Rings and other topics.
Geometry and Algebra of Multidimensional Three-Webs
This monograph, which is the first to be devoted to the geometry of multidimensional three-webs, presents the classical adn up-to-date results of the theory, and those parts of geometry and algebra which are closely connected with it. Many problems of the theory of smooth quasigroups and loops are considered. In addition to the general theory of webs, important classes of special webs are also studied. The volume contains eight chapters dealing with geometric and algebraic structures associated with three-webs, transversally geodesic and isoclinic three-webs, Bol and Moufang three-webs, closed G-structures, automorphisms of three-webs, the geometry of the fourth-order differential neighborhood of a multidimensional three-web, and d-webs of codimension r. The book concludes with some appendices and a comprehensive bibliography. This volume will be of particular interest to graduate students and researchers working in the areas of differential and algebraic geometry and algebra.
Handbook of Optical Engineering
This handbook explains principles, processes, methods, and procedures of optical engineering in a concise and practical way. It emphasizes fundamental approaches and provides useful formulas and step-by-step worked-out examples to demonstrate applications and clarify calculation methods. The book covers refractive, reflective, and diffractive optical components; lens optical devices; modern fringe pattern analysis; optical metrology; Fourier optics and optical image processing; electro-optical and acousto-optical devices; spatial and spectral filters; optical fibers and accessories; optical fabrication; and more. It includes over 2,000 tables, flow charts, graphs, schematics, drawings, photographs, and mathematical expressions.
Handbook of Pseudo-Riemannian Geometry and Supersymmetry
The purpose of this handbook is to give an overview of some recent developments in differential geometry related to supersymmetric field theories. The main themes covered are: Special geometry and supersymmetry Generalized geometry Geometries with torsion Para-geometries Holonomy theory Symmetric spaces and spaces of constant curvature Conformal geometry Wave equations on Lorentzian manifolds D-branes and K-theory The intended audience consists of advanced students and researchers working in differential geometry, string theory, and related areas. The emphasis is on geometrical structures occurring on target spaces of supersymmetric field theories. Some of these structures can be fully described in the classical framework of pseudo-Riemannian geometry. Others lead to new concepts relating various fields of research, such as special Kahler geometry or generalized geometry.
Algebra
The series is aimed specifically at publishing peer reviewed reviews and contributions presented at workshops and conferences. Each volume is associated with a particular conference, symposium or workshop. These events cover various topics within pure and applied mathematics and provide up-to-date coverage of new developments, methods and applications.
Foliations on Riemannian Manifolds and Submanifolds
This monograph is based on the author's results on the Riemannian ge ometry of foliations with nonnegative mixed curvature and on the geometry of sub manifolds with generators (rulings) in a Riemannian space of nonnegative curvature. The main idea is that such foliated (sub) manifolds can be decom posed when the dimension of the leaves (generators) is large. The methods of investigation are mostly synthetic. The work is divided into two parts, consisting of seven chapters and three appendices. Appendix A was written jointly with V. Toponogov. Part 1 is devoted to the Riemannian geometry of foliations. In the first few sections of Chapter I we give a survey of the basic results on foliated smooth manifolds (Sections 1.1-1.3), and finish in Section 1.4 with a discussion of the key problem of this work: the role of Riemannian curvature in the study of foliations on manifolds and submanifolds.
Introduction to Möbius Differential Geometry
