Combinatorial and Geometric Group Theory
This volume assembles several research papers in all areas of geometric and combinatorial group theory originated in the recent conferences in Dortmund and Ottawa in 2007. It contains high quality refereed articles developing new aspects of these modern and active fields in mathematics. It is also appropriate to advanced students interested in recent results at a research level.
Geometric Methods in Group Theory
This volume presents articles by speakers and participants in two AMS special sessions, Geometric Group Theory and Geometric Methods in Group Theory, held respectively at Northeastern University (Boston, MA) and at Universidad de Sevilla (Spain). The expository and survey articles in the book cover a wide range of topics, making it suitable for researchers and graduate students interested in group theory.
Abelian Varieties and Number Theory
This book is a collection of articles on Abelian varieties and number theory dedicated to Gerhard Frey's 75th birthday. It contains original articles by experts in the area of arithmetic and algebraic geometry. The articles cover topics on Abelian varieties and finitely generated Galois groups, ranks of Abelian varieties and Mordell-Lang conjecture, Tate-Shafarevich group and isogeny volcanoes, endomorphisms of superelliptic Jacobians, obstructions to local-global principles over semi-global fields, Drinfeld modular varieties, representations of etale fundamental groups and specialization of algebraic cycles, Deuring's theory of constant reductions, etc. The book will be a valuable resource to graduate students and experts working on Abelian varieties and related areas.
Frobenius Algebras
This is the first of two volumes which will provide a comprehensive introduction to the modern representation theory of Frobenius algebras. The first part of the book serves as a general introduction to basic results and techniques of the modern representation theory of finite dimensional associative algebras over fields, including the Morita theory of equivalences and dualities and the Auslander-Reiten theory of irreducible morphisms and almost split sequences. The second part is devoted to fundamental classical and recent results concerning the Frobenius algebras and their module categories. Moreover, the prominent classes of Frobenius algebras, the Hecke algebras of Coxeter groups, and the finite dimensional Hopf algebras over fields are exhibited. This volume is self contained and the only prerequisite is a basic knowledge of linear algebra. It includes complete proofs of all results presented and provides a rich supply of examples and exercises. The text is primarily addressed to graduate students starting research in the representation theory of algebras as well as mathematicians working in other fields.
Lectures on Dynamical Systems
This book originated from an introductory lecture course on dynamical systems given by the author for advanced students in mathematics and physics at ETH Zurich. The first part centers around unstable and chaotic phenomena caused by the occurrence of homoclinic points. The existence of homoclinic points complicates the orbit structure considerably and gives rise to invariant hyperbolic sets nearby. The orbit structure in such sets is analyzed by means of the shadowing lemma, whose proof is based on the contraction principle. This lemma is also used to prove S. Smale's theorem about the embedding of Bernoulli systems near homoclinic orbits. The chaotic behavior is illustrated in the simple me...
Algebraic Topology
This book is written as a textbook on algebraic topology. The first part covers the material for two introductory courses about homotopy and homology. The second part presents more advanced applications and concepts (duality, characteristic classes, homotopy groups of spheres, bordism). The author recommends starting an introductory course with homotopy theory. For this purpose, classical results are presented with new elementary proofs. Alternatively, one could start more traditionally with singular and axiomatic homology. Additional chapters are devoted to the geometry of manifolds, cell complexes and fibre bundles. A special feature is the rich supply of nearly 500 exercises and problems....
Introduction to Group Theory
This book quickly introduces beginners to general group theory and then focuses on three main themes : finite group theory, including sporadic groups combinatorial and geometric group theory, including the Bass-Serre theory of groups acting on trees the theory of train tracks by Bestvina and Handel for automorphisms of free groups With its many examples, exercises, and full solutions to selected exercises, this text provides a gentle introduction that is ideal for self-study and an excellent preparation for applications. A distinguished feature of the presentation is that algebraic and geometric techniques are balanced. The beautiful theory of train tracks is illustrated by two nontrivial examples. Presupposing only a basic knowledge of algebra, the book is addressed to anyone interested in group theory: from advanced undergraduate and graduate students to specialists.
Algebra Colloquium
None
Groups, Geometry and Dynamics
Publishes research articles that focus on groups or group actions as well as articles in other areas of mathematics in which groups or group actions are used as a main tool. Covers all topics of modern group theory with preference given to geometric, asymptotic and combinatorial group theory, dynamics of group actions, probabilistic and analytical methods, interaction with ergodic theory and operator algebras, and other related fields.
