Similar in philosophy to the study of moduli spaces in algebraic geometry, the central theme of this book is that spaces of (pseudoconvex) domains should admit geometrical structures that reflect the complex geometry of the underlying domains in a natural way. With its unusual geometric perspective of some topics in several complex variables, this book appeals to those who view much of mathematics in broadly geometrical terms.
Some of the most active practitioners in the field of integrable systems have been asked to describe what they think of as the problems and results which seem to be most interesting and important now and are likely to influence future directions. The papers in this collection, representing their authors' responses, offer a broad panorama of the subject as it enters the 1990's.
In this paper, we discuss the existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior of positive solutions of the equation −[capital Greek]Delta[italic]u = [lowercase Greek]Lambda[function]ƒ([italic]u) in [capital Greek]Omega[surmounted by macron] [times symbol] [−[italic]n, [italic]n], [and] [italic]u = 0 on [partial derivative/boundary/degree of a polynomial symbol]([capital Greek]Omega[surmounted by macron] [times symbol] [−[italic]n, [italic]n]) for [italic]n large. Here [capital Greek]Omega[surmounted by macron] is a bounded domain in [italic capital]R[superscript italic]k with smooth boundary. Note that by rescaling the equation (including [lowercase Greek]Lambda), our theory covers problems on domains ([set membership symbol][capital Greek]Omega[surmounted by macron]) [times symbol] [−1,1] where [set membership symbol] is small.
In chapter one we address the classification of finite subgroups of [italic capitals]SL([bold]3,[double-struck capital]C). This is followed by a general method to find invariant polynomials and their relations of finite subgroups of [italic capitals]GL([bold]3,[double-struck capital]C). Lastly, we recall some properties of quotient varieties and prove that [double-struck capital]C3/[italic capital]G has isolated singularities if and only if [italic capital]G is abelian and 1 is not an eigenvalue of g in [italic capital]G.
First we investigate the structure of Lie algebras with invariant cones and give a characterization of those Lie algebras containing pointed and generating invariant cones. Then we study the global structure of invariant Lie semigroups, and how far Lie's third theorem remains true for invariant cones and Lie semigroups.
The basic definitions and properties of vertex operator algebras, modules, intertwining operators and related concepts are presented, following a fundamental analogy with Lie algebra theory. The first steps in the development of the general theory are taken, and various natural and useful reformulations of the axioms are given. In particular, tensor products of algebras and modules, adjoint vertex operators and contragradient modules, adjoint intertwining operators and fusion rules are studied in greater depth. This paper lays the monodromy-free axiomatic foundation of the general theory of vertex operator algebras, modules and intertwining operators.
This paper investigates the question of linkage and block theory for Lie algebras of Cartan type. The second part of the paper deals mainly with block structure and projective modules of Lies algebras of types W and K.
This paper deals with the two broad questions of how 3-manifold groups imbed in one another and how such imbeddings relate to any corresponding [lowercase Greek]Pi1-injective maps. In particular, we are interested in 1) determining which 3-manifold groups are no cohopfian, that is, which 3-manifold groups imbed properly in themselves, 2) determining the knot subgroups of a knot group, and 3) determining when surgery on a knot [italic]K yields a lens (or "lens-like") space and the relationship of such a surgery to the knot-subgroup structure of [lowercase Greek]Pi1([italic]S3 - [italic]K). Our work requires the formulation of a deformation theorem for [lowercase Greek]Pi1-injective maps between certain kinds of Haken manifolds and the development of some algebraic tools.
The concept of thickness assigns to every Cantor set in the real line a number from 0 to [infinity symbol]. It was known that for some pairs of numbers the intersection of Cantor sets with such numbers as thicknesses may be just one point and that, in some other cases, with certain conditions, the intersection must contain a Cantor set. The author gives a complete answer to the problem of determining all pairs of thicknesses for which the intersection may be a single point and all the pairs of thicknesses for which the intersection must contain a Cantor set. He also considers the problem of how often, as one Cantor set is being translated over another one, the intersection of the two Cantor sets contains a Cantor set.
The papers in this volume are an outgrowth of the lectures and informal discussions that took place during the workshop on "The Geometry of Hamiltonian Systems" which was held at MSRl from June 5 to 16, 1989. It was, in some sense, the last major event of the year-long program on Symplectic Geometry and Mechanics. The emphasis of all the talks was on Hamiltonian dynamics and its relationship to several aspects of symplectic geometry and topology, mechanics, and dynamical systems in general. The organizers of the conference were R. Devaney (co-chairman), H. Flaschka (co-chairman), K. Meyer, and T. Ratiu. The entire meeting was built around two mini-courses of five lectures each and a series o...
