Set during the Roman invasion of Britain in 43 AD, The Golden Cord -- the second book in The Long-Aimed Blow series -- opens with unbridled cruelty. Caradoc's lust to rule Albion drives him to eliminate all in his path. He murders his father and his own wife, then he exiles his brother, Amminus, the rightful heir to the throne. Left behind are his twin sons, Boaz and Jachin. Each mistakenly believes the other has been killed by their father. As they mature into adults, their lives take very different paths -- with one becoming a Greek physician and the other a Roman legionnaire. Now High King of Albion, will Caradoc be dethroned when Amminus resurfaces? Will the twins reunite? Will Jachin sate his thirst for revenge by killing his father? Or will Caradoc's ruthless ambition continue to destroy his sons' lives? The Golden Cord taps into the age-old themes of familial love, unrestrained ambition, breathtaking adventure, and reckless revenge intertwined with hope and redemption, recovery and faith. It's a tale vast in scope, conveying an ancient world where loyalties and passions violently collide, culminating in total war.
Raena and Abby have relied on one another for as long as they can remember. Never knowing their parents and being shuffled through the foster care system, they quickly came to realize they are the only people they can count on. But when Abby doesn’t come home from work one night, Raena is left to take care of her nephew, Jaxon, and shoulder all of the responsibilities she once shared with her sister. She believes she has everything under control until her landlord tells her she must pay three months' worth of back rent before the end of the month, or she and Jax will be out on the street. One night, while working her new second job at Room 86, Raena meets King Wade of Maranetta and his two...
This volume contains the proceedings of the International Conference on Vorticity, Rotation and Symmetry (IV)—Complex Fluids and the Issue of Regularity, held from May 8–12, 2017, in Luminy, Marseille, France. The papers cover topics in mathematical fluid mechanics ranging from the classical regularity issue for solutions of the 3D Navier-Stokes system to compressible and non-Newtonian fluids, MHD flows and mixtures of fluids. Topics of different kinds of solutions, boundary conditions, and interfaces are also discussed.
This volume is dedicated to the memory of Björn Jawerth. It contains original research contributions and surveys in several of the areas of mathematics to which Björn made important contributions. Those areas include harmonic analysis, image processing, and functional analysis, which are of course interrelated in many significant and productive ways. Among the contributors are some of the world's leading experts in these areas. With its combination of research papers and surveys, this book may become an important reference and research tool. This book should be of interest to advanced graduate students and professional researchers in the areas of functional analysis, harmonic analysis, image processing, and approximation theory. It combines articles presenting new research with insightful surveys written by foremost experts.
Contains the proceedings of the 17th Workshop and International Conference on Representations of Algebras (ICRA 2016), held in August 2016, at Syracuse University. This volume includes three survey articles based on short courses in the areas of commutative algebraic groups, modular group representation theory, and thick tensor ideals of bounded derived categories.
This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on Higher Genus Curves and Fibrations in Mathematical Physics and Arithmetic Geometry, held on January 8, 2016, in Seattle, Washington. Algebraic curves and their fibrations have played a major role in both mathematical physics and arithmetic geometry. This volume focuses on the role of higher genus curves; in particular, hyperelliptic and superelliptic curves in algebraic geometry and mathematical physics. The articles in this volume investigate the automorphism groups of curves and superelliptic curves and results regarding integral points on curves and their applications in mirror symmetry. Moreover, geometric subjects are addressed, such as elliptic 3 surfaces over the rationals, the birational type of Hurwitz spaces, and links between projective geometry and abelian functions.

This volume contains the proceedings of the Second Workshop of Mexican Mathematicians Abroad (II Reunión de Matemáticos Mexicanos en el Mundo), held from December 15–19, 2014, at Centro de Investigación en Matemáticas (CIMAT) in Guanajuato, Mexico. This meeting was the second in a series of ongoing biannual meetings aimed at showcasing the research of Mexican mathematicians based outside of Mexico. The book features articles drawn from eight broad research areas: algebra, analysis, applied mathematics, combinatorics, dynamical systems, geometry, probability theory, and topology. Their topics range from novel applications of non-commutative probability to graph theory, to interactions between dynamical systems and geophysical flows. Several articles survey the fields and problems on which the authors work, highlighting research lines currently underrepresented in Mexico. The research-oriented articles provide either alternative approaches to well-known problems or new advances in active research fields. The wide selection of topics makes the book accessible to advanced graduate students and researchers in mathematics from different fields.
Contains the proceedings of the international conference "Ordered Algebraic Structures and Related Topics", held in October 2015, at CIRM, Luminy, Marseilles. Papers cover topics in real analytic geometry, real algebra, and real algebraic geometry including complexity issues, model theory of various algebraic and differential structures, Witt equivalence of fields, and the moment problem.
