Structured Fluids
Publisher Description
Structured Fluids
Over the last thirty years, the study of liquids containing polymers, surfactants, or colloidal particles has developed from a loose assembly of facts into a coherent discipline with substantial predictive power. These liquids expand our conception of what condensed matter can do. Such structured-fluid phenomena dominate the physical environment within living cells. This book teaches how to think of these fluids from a unified point of view, showing the far-reaching effects of thermal fluctuations in producing forces and motions. Keeping mathematics to a minimum, the book seeks the simplest explanations that account for the distinctive scaling properties of these fluids. An example is the growth of viscosity of a polymer solution as the cube of the molecular weight of the constituent polymers. Another is the hydrodynamic radius of a colloidal aggregate, which remains comparable to its geometrical radius even though the density of particles in the aggregate becomes arbitrarily small. The book aims for a simplicity, unity and depth not found in previous treatments. The text is supplemented by numerous figures, tables and problems to aid the student.

Witten Letters
William Stanley Witten was born in Maryland in 1761, the son of Thomas Witten and Elizabeth Cecil. William married Letitia Laird in 1790. Their children were Elizabeth, James, Jane, Letitia, Melinda, Mary, Keziah, Malinda, John Wesley, William Abbot, Susana and Thomas. William died in 1824 in Tennessee. John Wesley Witten married Sarah McPherson, the daughter of Barton and Elizabeth McPherson. Their children were Martha, Coke, Salinda, Wilkerson, William and Benson. William Witten was born in 1835. His children included John Emmet and William L. William Witten died in 1919. Other localities include Oklahoma, Texas and Mississippi.
Soft Interfaces
This volume is an introduction to interfacial phenomena. It collects the lecture notes from a one month Summer school in Les Houches. The courses and the notes are intended to be especially useful for master and PhD students as well as young researchers.

Recent Progress on the Donaldson–Thomas Theory
This book is an exposition of recent progress on the Donaldson–Thomas (DT) theory. The DT invariant was introduced by R. Thomas in 1998 as a virtual counting of stable coherent sheaves on Calabi–Yau 3-folds. Later, it turned out that the DT invariants have many interesting properties and appear in several contexts such as the Gromov–Witten/Donaldson–Thomas conjecture on curve-counting theories, wall-crossing in derived categories with respect to Bridgeland stability conditions, BPS state counting in string theory, and others. Recently, a deeper structure of the moduli spaces of coherent sheaves on Calabi–Yau 3-folds was found through derived algebraic geometry. These moduli spaces ...
