A Formalization of Set Theory without Variables

Culminates nearly half a century of the late Alfred Tarski's foundational studies in logic, mathematics, and the philosophy of science. This work shows that set theory and number theory can be developed within the framework of a new, different and simple equational formalism, closely related to the formalism of the theory of relation algebras.

The Structure of Relation Algebras Generated by Relativizations

The foundation of an algebraic theory of binary relations was laid by De Morgan, Peirce, and Schroder during the second half of the nineteenth century. Modern development of the subject as a theory of abstract algebras, called "relation algebras", was undertaken by Tarski and his students. This book aims to analyse the structure of relation algebras that are generated by relativized subalgebras. As examples of their potential for applications, the main results are used to establish representation theorems for classes of relation algebras and to prove existence and uniqueness theorems for simple closures (i.e., for minimal simple algebras containing a given family of relation algebras as relativized subalgebras). This book is well-written and accessible to those who are not specialists in this area. In particular, it contains two introductory chapters on the arithmetic and the algebraic theory of relation algebras. This book is suitable for use in graduate courses onalgebras of binary relations or algebraic logic.

The Mathematical Legacy of Wilhelm Magnus: Groups, Geometry and Special Functions

Wilhelm Magnus was an extraordinarily creative mathematician who made fundamental contributions to diverse areas, including group theory, geometry and special functions. This book contains the proceedings of a conference held in May 1992 at Polytechnic University, Brooklyn to honour the memory of Magnus. The focus of the book is on active areas of research where Magnus' influence can be seen. The papers range from expository articles to major new research, bringing together seemingly diverse topics and providing entry points to a variety of areas of mathematics.

  • Pages: 270

Representation Theory and Harmonic Analysis

This volume stems from a special session on representation theory and harmonic analysis held in honour of Ray Kunze at the 889th meeting of the American Mathematical Society on January 12-15 1994. It is intended for graduate students and research mathematicians interested in topological groups, lie groups and abstract harmonic analysis.

Algebraic $K$-Theory

This book contains proceedings of the research conference on algebraic K-theory which took place in Poznan, Poland in September 1995. The conference concluded the activity of the algebraic K-theory seminar held at the Adam Mickiewicz University in the academic year 1994-1995. Talks at the conference covered a wide range of current research activities in algebraic K-theory. In particular, the following topics were covered * K-theory of fields and rings of integers * K-theory of elliptic and modular curves * Theory of motives, motivic cohomology, Beilinson conjectures * algebraic K-theory of topological spaces, topological Hochschild homology and cyclic homology. With contributions by leading experts in the field, this book provides a look at the state of current research in algebraic K-theory.

Multidimensional Complex Analysis and Partial Differential Equations

This collection of papers by outstanding contributors in analysis, partial differential equations and several complex variables is dedicated to Professor Treves in honour of his 65th birthday. There are five excellent survey articles covering analytic singularities, holomorphically nondegenerate algebraic hypersurfaces, analyticity of CR mappings, removable singularities of vector fields and local solvability for systems of vector fields. The other papers are original research contributions on topics such as Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations, Toeplitz operators, elliptic structures, complexification of Lie groups, and pseudo-differential operators.

Domain Decomposition Methods in Scientific and Engineering Computing

This book contains proceedings from the Seventh International Conference on Domain Decomposition Methods, held at Pennsylvania State University in October 1993. The term ``domain decomposition'' has for nearly a decade been associated with the partly iterative, partly direct algorithms explored in the proceedings of this conference. Noteworthy trends in the current volume include progress in dealing with so-called ``bad parameters'' in elliptic partial differential equation problems, as well as developments in partial differential equations outside of the elliptically-dominated framework. Also described here are convergence and complexity results for novel discretizations, which bring with t...

Birational Algebraic Geometry

Ten research reports illustrate the many directions the field is taking, and feature problems on special models such as Fanos and their fibrations, adjunctions and subadjunction formuli, and projectivity and projective embeddings. Also included are a eulogy and bibliography for the mathematician Chow, who was at Johns Hopkins since the 1940s. No index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Real Algebraic Geometry and Topology

This book contains the proceedings of the Real Algebraic Geometry-Topology Conference, held at Michigan State University in December 1993. Presented here are recent results and discussions of new ideas pertaining to such topics as resolution theorems, algebraic structures, topology of nonsingular real algebraic sets, and the distribution of real algebraic sets in projective space.
