The Wild World of 4-Manifolds

What a wonderful book! I strongly recommend this book to anyone, especially graduate students, interested in getting a sense of 4-manifolds. --MAA Reviews The book gives an excellent overview of 4-manifolds, with many figures and historical notes. Graduate students, nonexperts, and experts alike will enjoy browsing through it. -- Robion C. Kirby, University of California, Berkeley This book offers a panorama of the topology of simply connected smooth manifolds of dimension four. Dimension four is unlike any other dimension; it is large enough to have room for wild things to happen, but small enough so that there is no room to undo the wildness. For example, only manifolds of dimension four c...

Topological Invariants of the Complement to Arrangements of Rational Plane Curves

The authors analyse two topological invariants of an embedding of an arrangement of rational plane curves in the projective complex plane, namely, the cohomology ring of the complement and the characteristic varieties. Their main result states that the cohomology ring of the complement to a rational arrangement is generated by logarithmic 1 and 2-forms and its structure depends on a finite number of invariants of the curve (its combinatorial type).

Representation Theory of Lie Groups

This book contains written versions of the lectures given at the PCMI Graduate Summer School on the representation theory of Lie groups. The volume begins with lectures by A. Knapp and P. Trapa outlining the state of the subject around the year 1975, specifically, the fundamental results of Harish-Chandra on the general structure of infinite-dimensional representations and the Langlands classification. Additional contributions outline developments in four of the most active areas of research over the past 20 years. The clearly written articles present results to date, as follows: R. Zierau and L. Barchini discuss the construction of representations on Dolbeault cohomology spaces. D. Vogan de...

Homogeneous Spaces, Tits Buildings, and Isoparametric Hypersurfaces

This title classifys 1-connected compact homogeneous spaces which have the same rational cohomology as a product of spheres $\mahtbb{S} DEGREES{n_1}\times\mathbb{S} DEGREES{n_2}$, with $3\leq n_1\leq n_2$ and $n_2$ odd. As an application, it classifys compact generalized quadrangles (buildings of type $C_2)$ which admit a point transitive automorphism group, and isoparametric hypersurfaces which admit a transitive isometry group on one f

Quasianalytic Monogenic Solutions of a Cohomological Equation

We prove that the solutions of a cohomological equation of complex dimension one and in the analytic category have a monogenic dependence on the parameter. This cohomological equation is the standard linearized conjugacy equation for germs of holomorphic maps in a neighborhood of a fixed point.

Probability Theory and Applications

This volume, with contributions by leading experts in the field, is a collection of lecture notes of the six minicourses given at the IAS/Park City Summer Mathematics Institute. It introduces advanced graduates and researchers in probability theory to several of the currently active research areas in the field. Each course is self-contained with references and contains basic materials and recent results. Topics include interacting particle systems, percolation theory, analysis on path and loop spaces, and mathematical finance. The volume gives a balanced overview of the current status of probability theory. An extensive bibliography for further study and research is included. This unique collection presents several important areas of current research and a valuable survey reflecting the diversity of the field.

Anisotropic Hardy Spaces and Wavelets

Investigates the anisotropic Hardy spaces associated with very general discrete groups of dilations. This book includes the classical isotropic Hardy space theory of Fefferman and Stein and parabolic Hardy space theory of Calderon and Torchinsky.

Symposium in Honor of C. H. Clemens

Gathers the 14 papers presented during a March 2000 symposium on algebraic geometry. The contributors survey the links between geometry and the theory of Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equations, as well as new developments in orbifold string theory. Other papers investigate orthogonal complex hyperbolic arrangements, vector bundles on the cubic threefold, using symmetry to count rational curves, the Nash conjecture for non-projective threefolds, and the punctual Hilbert scheme of a symplectic fourfold.

Vector Bundles and Representation Theory

This volume contains 13 papers from the conference on ``Hilbert Schemes, Vector Bundles and Their Interplay with Representation Theory''. The papers are written by leading mathematicians in algebraic geometry and representation theory and present the latest developments in the field. Among other contributions, the volume includes several very impressive and elegant theorems in representation theory by R. Friedman and J. W. Morgan, convolution on homology groups of moduli spaces of sheaves on K3 surfaces by H. Nakajima, and computation of the $S1$ fixed points in Quot-schemes and mirror principle computations for Grassmanians by S.-T. Yau, et al. The book is of interest to graduate students and researchers in algebraic geometry, representation theory, topology and their applications to high energy physics.
