Enrico Fermi
This biography explores the life and career of the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, which is also the story of thirty years that transformed physics and forever changed our understanding of matter and the universe: nuclear physics and elementary particle physics were born, nuclear fission was discovered, the Manhattan Project was developed, the atomic bombs were dropped, and the era of “big science” began.It would be impossible to capture the full essence of this revolutionary period without first understanding Fermi, without whom it would not have been possible. Enrico Fermi: The Obedient Genius attempts to shed light on all aspects of Fermi’s life - his work, motivation, influences, a...
Complex Analysis and Geometry
Based on two conferences held in Trento, Italy, this volume contains 13 research papers and two survey papers on complex analysis and complex algebraic geometry. The main topics addressed by these leading researchers include: Mori theory polynomial hull vector bundles q-convexity Lie groups and actions on complex spaces hypercomplex structures pseudoconvex domains projective varieties Peer-reviewed and extensively referenced, Complex Analysis and Geometry contains recent advances and important research results. It also details several problems that remain open, the resolution of which could further advance the field.
An Introduction to Mathematical Relativity
This concise textbook introduces the reader to advanced mathematical aspects of general relativity, covering topics like Penrose diagrams, causality theory, singularity theorems, the Cauchy problem for the Einstein equations, the positive mass theorem, and the laws of black hole thermodynamics. It emerged from lecture notes originally conceived for a one-semester course in Mathematical Relativity which has been taught at the Instituto Superior Técnico (University of Lisbon, Portugal) since 2010 to Masters and Doctorate students in Mathematics and Physics. Mostly self-contained, and mathematically rigorous, this book can be appealing to graduate students in Mathematics or Physics seeking specialization in general relativity, geometry or partial differential equations. Prerequisites include proficiency in differential geometry and the basic principles of relativity. Readers who are familiar with special relativity and have taken a course either in Riemannian geometry (for students of Mathematics) or in general relativity (for those in Physics) can benefit from this book.
Spectral Theory and Mathematical Physics
This proceedings volume contains peer-reviewed, selected papers and surveys presented at the conference Spectral Theory and Mathematical Physics (STMP) 2018 which was held in Santiago, Chile, at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile in December 2018. The original works gathered in this volume reveal the state of the art in the area and reflect the intense cooperation between young researchers in spectral theoryand mathematical physics and established specialists in this field. The list of topics covered includes: eigenvalues and resonances for quantum Hamiltonians; spectral shift function and quantum scattering; spectral properties of random operators; magnetic quantum Hamiltonians; microlocal analysis and its applications in mathematical physics. This volume can be of interest both to senior researchers and graduate students pursuing new research topics in Mathematical Physics.
Differential Geometric Methods in Mathematical Physics
The focal topic of the 14th International Conference on Differential Geometric Methods was that of mathematical problems in classical field theory and the emphasis of the resulting proceedings volume is on superfield theory and related topics, and classical and quantized fields.
Fourier-Mukai and Nahm Transforms in Geometry and Mathematical Physics
Integral transforms, such as the Laplace and Fourier transforms, have been major tools in mathematics for at least two centuries. In the last three decades the development of a number of novel ideas in algebraic geometry, category theory, gauge theory, and string theory has been closely related to generalizations of integral transforms of a more geometric character. "Fourier–Mukai and Nahm Transforms in Geometry and Mathematical Physics" examines the algebro-geometric approach (Fourier–Mukai functors) as well as the differential-geometric constructions (Nahm). Also included is a considerable amount of material from existing literature which has not been systematically organized into a monograph. Key features: Basic constructions and definitions are presented in preliminary background chapters - Presentation explores applications and suggests several open questions - Extensive bibliography and index. This self-contained monograph provides an introduction to current research in geometry and mathematical physics and is intended for graduate students and researchers just entering this field.
Differential Equations - Geometry, Symmetries and Integrability
The Abel Symposium 2008 focused on the modern theory of differential equations and their applications in geometry, mechanics, and mathematical physics. Following the tradition of Monge, Abel and Lie, the scientific program emphasized the role of algebro-geometric methods, which nowadays permeate all mathematical models in natural and engineering sciences. The ideas of invariance and symmetry are of fundamental importance in the geometric approach to differential equations, with a serious impact coming from the area of integrable systems and field theories. This volume consists of original contributions and broad overview lectures of the participants of the Symposium. The papers in this volume present the modern approach to this classical subject.
