Noncommutative Harmonic Analysis

Dedicated to Jacques Carmona, an expert in noncommutative harmonic analysis, the volume presents excellent invited/refereed articles by top notch mathematicians. Topics cover general Lie theory, reductive Lie groups, harmonic analysis and the Langlands program, automorphic forms, and Kontsevich quantization. Good text for researchers and grad students in representation theory.

Torus Actions on Symplectic Manifolds

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2012-12-06
  • -
  • Publisher: Birkhäuser

The material and references in this extended second edition of "The Topology of Torus Actions on Symplectic Manifolds", published as Volume 93 in this series in 1991, have been updated. Symplectic manifolds and torus actions are investigated, with numerous examples of torus actions, for instance on some moduli spaces. Although the book is still centered on convexity results, it contains much more material, in particular lots of new examples and exercises.

Geometry

Geometry, this very ancient field of study of mathematics, frequently remains too little familiar to students. Michle Audin, professor at the University of Strasbourg, has written a book allowing them to remedy this situation and, starting from linear algebra, extend their knowledge of affine, Euclidean and projective geometry, conic sections and quadrics, curves and surfaces. It includes many nice theorems like the nine-point circle, Feuerbach's theorem, and so on. Everything is presented clearly and rigourously. Each property is proved, examples and exercises illustrate the course content perfectly. Precise hints for most of the exercises are provided at the end of the book. This very comprehensive text is addressed to students at upper undergraduate and Master's level to discover geometry and deepen their knowledge and understanding.

The Role of True Finiteness in the Admissible Recursively Enumerable Degrees

When attempting to generalize recursion theory to admissible ordinals, it may seem as if all classical priority constructions can be lifted to any admissible ordinal satisfying a sufficiently strong fragment of the replacement scheme. We show, however, that this is not always the case. In fact, there are some constructions which make an essential use of the notion of finiteness which cannot be replaced by the generalized notion of $\alpha$-finiteness. As examples we discuss bothcodings of models of arithmetic into the recursively enumerable degrees, and non-distributive lattice embeddings into these degrees. We show that if an admissible ordinal $\alpha$ is effectively close to $\omega$ (where this closeness can be measured by size or by cofinality) then such constructions maybe performed in the $\alpha$-r.e. degrees, but otherwise they fail. The results of these constructions can be expressed in the first-order language of partially ordered sets, and so these results also show that there are natu

Spinning Tops

Since the time of Lagrange and Euler, it has been well known that an understanding of algebraic curves can illuminate the picture of rigid bodies provided by classical mechanics. A modern view of the role played by algebraic geometry has been established iby many mathematicians. This book presents some of these techniques, which fall within the orbit of finite dimensional integrable systems. The main body of the text presents a rich assortment of methods and ideas from algebraic geometry prompted by classical mechanics, whilst in appendices the general, abstract theory is described. The methods are given a topological application to the study of Liouville tori and their bifurcations. The book is based on courses for graduate students given by the author at Strasbourg University but the wealth of original ideas will make it also appeal to researchers.

Integrable Hamiltonian Systems on Complex Lie Groups

Studies the elastic problems on simply connected manifolds $M_n$ whose orthonormal frame bundle is a Lie group $G$. This title synthesizes ideas from optimal control theory, adapted to variational problems on the principal bundles of Riemannian spaces, and the symplectic geometry of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}, $ of $G$

An Analogue of a Reductive Algebraic Monoid Whose Unit Group Is a Kac-Moody Group

By an easy generalization of the Tannaka-Krein reconstruction we associate to the category of admissible representations of the category ${\mathcal O}$ of a Kac-Moody algebra, and its category of admissible duals, a monoid with a coordinate ring. The Kac-Moody group is the Zariski open dense unit group of this monoid. The restriction of the coordinate ring to the Kac-Moody group is the algebra of strongly regular functions introduced by V. Kac and D. Peterson. This monoid has similar structural properties as a reductive algebraic monoid. In particular it is unit regular, its idempotents related to the faces of the Tits cone. It has Bruhat and Birkhoff decompositions. The Kac-Moody algebra is isomorphic to the Lie algebra of this monoid.

Maximum Principles on Riemannian Manifolds and Applications

Aims to introduce the reader to various forms of the maximum principle, starting from its classical formulation up to generalizations of the Omori-Yau maximum principle at infinity obtained by the authors.

The Second Duals of Beurling Algebras

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra, with second dual space $A""$. We propose to study the space $A""$ as a Banach algebra. There are two Banach algebra products on $A""$, denoted by $\,\Box\,$ and $\,\Diamond\,$. The Banach algebra $A$ is Arens regular if the two products $\Box$ and $\Diamond$ coincide on $A""$.
