A Conversation on Professional Norms in Mathematics
The articles in this volume grew out of a 2019 workshop, held at Johns Hopkins University, that was inspired by a belief that when mathematicians take time to reflect on the social forces involved in the production of mathematics, actionable insights result. Topics range from mechanisms that lead to an inclusion-exclusion dichotomy within mathematics to common pitfalls and better alternatives to how mathematicians approach teaching, mentoring and communicating mathematical ideas. This collection will be of interest to students, faculty and administrators wishing to gain a snapshot of the current state of professional norms within mathematics and possible steps toward improvements.
L’équation aux S-unités - Voyage géométrique en théorie des nombres
L’objectif de cet ouvrage est de dévoiler, à travers l’étude de la preuve d’un résultat important et récent, la beauté de certains concepts et outils fondamentaux de l’arithmétique contemporaine. Outils mélangeant géométrie et algèbre avec l'arithmétique. On s’intéresse plus précisément à un théorème relatif à la finitude des solutions de l’équation aux S-unités, qui constitue un problème central de cette discipline. Au cours de l’élucidation de la démonstration, qui constitue le fil rouge du texte, le lecteur découvrira les notions clés qui ont jalonné l’histoire de l’étude des nombres, de Diophante à nos jours. Ce livre n’a pas vocation à être un cours d’arithmétique exhaustif, mais cherche plutôt à permettre au plus grand nombre, étudiants en troisième année de licence ou curieux de mathématiques, de comprendre en profondeur un article de recherche dans cette discipline. Il est accompagné de nombreux exemples et illustrations.
Laws Of Form: A Fiftieth Anniversary
Laws of Form is a seminal work in foundations of logic, mathematics and philosophy published by G Spencer-Brown in 1969. The book provides a new point of view on form and the role of distinction, markedness and the absence of distinction (the unmarked state) in the construction of any universe. A conference was held August 8-10, 2019 at the Old Library, Liverpool University, 19 Abercromby Square, L697ZN, UK to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the publication of Laws of Form and to remember George Spencer-Brown, its author. The book is a collection of papers introducing and extending Laws of Form written primarily by people who attended the conference in 2019.
Eisenstein Series and Automorphic Representations
Detailed exposition of automorphic representations and their relation to string theory, for mathematicians and theoretical physicists.
Group Actions in Ergodic Theory, Geometry, and Topology
Robert J. Zimmer is best known in mathematics for the highly influential conjectures and program that bear his name. Group Actions in Ergodic Theory, Geometry, and Topology: Selected Papers brings together some of the most significant writings by Zimmer, which lay out his program and contextualize his work over the course of his career. Zimmer’s body of work is remarkable in that it involves methods from a variety of mathematical disciplines, such as Lie theory, differential geometry, ergodic theory and dynamical systems, arithmetic groups, and topology, and at the same time offers a unifying perspective. After arriving at the University of Chicago in 1977, Zimmer extended his earlier rese...
Fat Chance
Designed for the intellectually curious, this book provides a solid foundation in basic probability theory in a charming style, without technical jargon. This text will immerse the reader in a mathematical view of the world, and teach them techniques to solve real-world problems both inside and outside the casino.
Introduction to Cyclotomic Fields
This text on a central area of number theory covers p-adic L-functions, class numbers, cyclotomic units, Fermat’s Last Theorem, and Iwasawa’s theory of Z_p-extensions. This edition contains a new chapter on the work of Thaine, Kolyvagin, and Rubin, including a proof of the Main Conjecture, as well as a chapter on other recent developments, such as primality testing via Jacobi sums and Sinnott’s proof of the vanishing of Iwasawa’s f-invariant.
Cohomology of Arithmetic Groups
This book discusses the mathematical interests of Joachim Schwermer, who throughout his career has focused on the cohomology of arithmetic groups, automorphic forms and the geometry of arithmetic manifolds. To mark his 66th birthday, the editors brought together mathematical experts to offer an overview of the current state of research in these and related areas. The result is this book, with contributions ranging from topology to arithmetic. It probes the relation between cohomology of arithmetic groups and automorphic forms and their L-functions, and spans the range from classical Bianchi groups to the theory of Shimura varieties. It is a valuable reference for both experts in the fields and for graduate students and postdocs wanting to discover where the current frontiers lie.
Slicing The Truth: On The Computable And Reverse Mathematics Of Combinatorial Principles
This book is a brief and focused introduction to the reverse mathematics and computability theory of combinatorial principles, an area of research which has seen a particular surge of activity in the last few years. It provides an overview of some fundamental ideas and techniques, and enough context to make it possible for students with at least a basic knowledge of computability theory and proof theory to appreciate the exciting advances currently happening in the area, and perhaps make contributions of their own. It adopts a case-study approach, using the study of versions of Ramsey's Theorem (for colorings of tuples of natural numbers) and related principles as illustrations of various aspects of computability theoretic and reverse mathematical analysis. This book contains many exercises and open questions.
Elements of ?-Category Theory
This book develops the theory of infinite-dimensional categories by studying the universe, or ∞-cosmos, in which they live.
