This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS-EMS-SMF Special Session on Deformations of Artinian Algebras and Jordan Type, held July 18?22, 2022, at the Universit‚ Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble, France. Articles included are a survey and open problems on deformations and relation to the Hilbert scheme; a survey of commuting nilpotent matrices and their Jordan type; and a survey of Specht ideals and their perfection in the two-rowed case. Other articles treat topics such as the Jordan type of local Artinian algebras, Waring decompositions of ternary forms, questions about Hessians, a geometric approach to Lefschetz properties, deformations of codimension two local Artin rings using Hilbert-Burch matrices, and parametrization of local Artinian algebras in codimension three. Each of the articles brings new results on the boundary of commutative algebra and algebraic geometry.
The study of Lefschetz properties for Artinian algebras was motivated by the Lefschetz theory for projective manifolds. Recent developments have demonstrated important cases of the Lefschetz property beyond the original geometric settings, such as Coxeter groups or matroids. Furthermore, there are connections to other branches of mathematics, for example, commutative algebra, algebraic topology, and combinatorics. Important results in this area have been obtained by finding unexpected connections between apparently different topics. A conference in Cortona, Italy in September 2022 brought together researchers discussing recent developments and working on new problems related to the Lefschetz properties. The book will feature surveys on several aspects of the theory as well as articles on new results and open problems.
This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on Ends and Boundaries of Groups, held in honor of Michael Mihalik's 70th birthday, on April 15–16, 2023, at the University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio. The papers cover current topics in geometric group theory and related topology. Four survey papers discuss hyperbolic actions, CAT(0) groups, Thompson-type groups and $Z$-set boundaries. Other papers cover new material related to hyperbolic groups, Poincaré Duality groups, outer automorphism groups, right angled Artin groups, and mapping class groups. Several papers present new results on ends of spaces and related group theory. A notable addition, intended for readers interested in the interplay of topology and group theory, is a self-contained detailed exposition of $Z$-sets and their role in geometric group theory.
This volume contains the proceedings of the International Conference on Geometry, Groups and Mathematical Philosophy, held in honor of Ravindra S. Kulkarni's 80th birthday. Talks at the conference touched all the areas that intrigued Ravi Kulkarni over the years. Accordingly, the conference was divided into three parts: differential geometry, symmetries arising in geometric and general mathematics, mathematical philosophy and Indian mathematics. The volume also includes an expanded version of Kulkarni's lecture and a brief autobiography.
This volume contains the proceedings of the BIRS Workshop "Topics in Multiple Time Scale Dynamics," held from November 27? December 2, 2022, at the Banff International Research Station, Banff, Alberta, Canada. The area of multiple-scale dynamics is rapidly evolving, marked by significant theoretical breakthroughs and practical applications. The workshop facilitated a convergence of experts from various sub-disciplines, encompassing topics like blow-up techniques for ordinary differential equations (ODEs), singular perturbation theory for stochastic differential equations (SDE), homogenization and averaging, slow-fast maps, numerical approaches, and network dynamics, including their applications in neuroscience and climate science. This volume provides a wide-ranging perspective on the current challenging subjects being explored in the field, including themes such as novel approaches to blowing-up and canard theory in unique contexts, complex multi-scale challenges in PDEs, and the role of stochasticity in multiple-scale systems.
This volume contains the proceedings of the virtual AMS Special Session on Equivariant Cohomology, held March 19?20, 2022. Equivariant topology is the algebraic topology of spaces with symmetries. At the meeting, ?equivariant cohomology? was broadly interpreted to include related topics in equivariant topology and geometry such as Bredon cohomology, equivariant cobordism, GKM (Goresky, Kottwitz, and MacPherson) theory, equivariant $K$-theory, symplectic geometry, and equivariant Schubert calculus. This volume offers a view of the exciting progress made in these fields in the last twenty years. Several of the articles are surveys suitable for a general audience of topologists and geometers. To be broadly accessible, all the authors were instructed to make their presentations somewhat expository. This collection should be of interest and useful to graduate students and researchers alike.
This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS-EMS-SMF Special Session on Sub-Riemannian Geometry and Interactions, held from July 18–20, 2022, at the Université de Grenoble-Alpes, Grenoble, France. Sub-Riemannian geometry is a generalization of Riemannian one, where a smooth metric is defined only on a preferred subset of tangent directions. Under the so-called Hörmander condition, all points are connected by finite-length curves, giving rise to a well-defined metric space. Sub-Riemannian geometry is nowadays a lively branch of mathematics, connected with probability, harmonic and complex analysis, subelliptic PDEs, geometric measure theory, optimal transport, calculus of variations, and potential analysis. The articles in this volume present some developments of a broad range of topics in sub-Riemannian geometry, including the theory of sub-elliptic operators, holonomy, spectral theory, and the geometry of the exponential map.
This volume contains a collection of papers that focus on recent research in the broad field of special functions. The articles cover topics related to differential equations, dynamic systems, integrable systems, billiards, and random matrix theory. Linear classical special functions, such as hypergeometric functions, Heun functions, and various orthogonal polynomials and nonlinear special functions (e.g., the Painlev‚ transcendents and their generalizations), are studied from different perspectives. This volume serves as a useful reference for a large audience of mathematicians and mathematical physicists interested in modern theory of special functions. It is suitable for both graduate students and specialists in the field.
This volume presents a collection of research articles arising from the conference on “Convex and Complex: Perspectives on Positivity in Geometry,” held in Cetraro, Italy, from October 31–November 4, 2022. The conference celebrated the 70th birthday of Bo Berndtsson and the vitality of current research across complex and convex geometry, as well as interactions between the two areas, all united by the overarching concept of positivity. Positivity plays a central role in complex and convex geometry. It arises from a range of complementary perspectives, as illustrated by the breadth of the papers appearing in this volume, including existence Kähler–Einstein edge metrics, Santaló-type...
This is a monograph which collects basic techniques, major results and interesting applications of Lefschetz properties of Artinian algebras. The origin of the Lefschetz properties of Artinian algebras is the Hard Lefschetz Theorem, which is a major result in algebraic geometry. However, for the last two decades, numerous applications of the Lefschetz properties to other areas of mathematics have been found, as a result of which the theory of the Lefschetz properties is now of great interest in its own right. It also has ties to other areas, including combinatorics, algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, commutative algebra and representation theory. The connections between the Lefschetz property and other areas of mathematics are not only diverse, but sometimes quite surprising, e.g. its ties to the Schur-Weyl duality. This is the first book solely devoted to the Lefschetz properties and is the first attempt to treat those properties systematically.
