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 Ordered Structures

This volume contains 16 carefully refereed articles by participants in the Special Semester and the AMS Special Session on Real Algebraic Geometry and Ordered Structures held at Louisiana State University and Southern University (Baton Rouge). The 23 contributors to this volume were among the 75 mathematicians from 15 countries who participated in the special semester. Topics include the topology of real algebraic curves (Hilbert's 16th problem), moduli of real algebraic curves, effective sums of squares of real forms (Hilbert's 17th problem), efficient real quantifier elimination, subanalytic sets and stratifications, semialgebraic singularity theory, radial vector fields, exponential funct...

Analysis, Geometry, Number Theory: The Mathematics of Leon Ehrenpreis

This book presents the proceedings from the conference honoring the work of Leon Ehrenpreis. Professor Ehrenpreis worked in many different areas of mathematics and found connections among all of them. For example, one can find his analytic ideas in the context of number theory, geometric thinking within analysis, transcendental number theory applied to partial differential equations, and more. The conference brought together the communities of mathematicians working in the areas of interest to Professor Ehrenpreis and allowed them to share the research inspired by his work. The collection of articles here presents current research on PDEs, several complex variables, analytic number theory, integral geometry, and tomography. The work of Professor Ehrenpreis has contributed to basic definitions in these areas and has motivated a wealth of research results. This volume offers a survey of the fundamental principles that unified the conference and influenced the mathematics of Leon Ehrenpreis.

Function Spaces

This proceedings volume presents 36 papers given by leading experts during the Third Conference on Function Spaces held at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. A wide range of topics in the subject area are covered. Most papers are written for nonexperts, so the book can serve as a good introduction to the topic for those interested in this area. The book presents the following broad range of topics, including spaces and algebras of analytic functions of one and of many variables, $Lp$ spaces, spaces of Banach-valued functions, isometries of function spaces, geometry of Banach spaces and related subjects. Known results, open problems, and new discoveries are featured. At the time of publication, information about the book, the conference, and a list and pictures of contributors are available on the Web at www.siue.edu/MATH/conference.htm.

Advances in Discrete and Computational Geometry

This volume is a collection of refereed expository and research articles in discrete and computational geometry written by leaders in the field. Articles are based on invited talks presented at the AMS-IMS-SIAM Summer Research Conference, "Discrete and Computational Geometry: Ten Years Later", held in 1996 at Mt. Holyoke College (So.Hadley, MA). Topics addressed range from tilings, polyhedra, and arrangements to computational topology and visibility problems. Included are papers on the interaction between real algebraic geometry and discrete and computational geometry, as well as on linear programming and geometric discrepancy theory.

Higher Homotopy Structures in Topology and Mathematical Physics

Since the work of Stasheff and Sugawara in the 1960s on recognition of loop space structures on $H$-spaces, the notion of higher homotopies has grown to be a fundamental organizing principle in homotopy theory, differential graded homological algebra and even mathematical physics. This book presents the proceedings from a conference held on the occasion of Stasheff's 60th birthday at Vassar in June 1996. It offers a collection of very high quality papers and includes some fundamental essays on topics that open new areas.

Tel Aviv Topology Conference: Rothenberg Festschrift

This volume presents the proceedings of the Tel Aviv International Topology Conference held during the Special Topology Program at Tel Aviv University. The book is dedicated to Professor Mel Rothenberg on the occasion of his 65th birthday. His contributions to topology are well known-from the early work on triangulations to numerous papers on transformation groups and on geometric and analytic aspects of torsion theory. Current research related to those contributions are reported in this book. Coverage is included on the following topics: vanishing theorems for the Dirac operator, the theory of Reidemeister torsion (including infinite dimensional flat bundles), Nobikov-Shubin invariants of manifolds, topology of group actions, Lusternik-Schnirelman theory for closed 1-forms, finite type invariants of links and 3-manifolds, equivariant cobordisms, equivariant orientations and Thom isomorphisms, and more.

Higher Category Theory

Comprises six presentations on new developments in category theory from the March 1997 workshop. The topics are categorification, computads for finitary monads on globular sets, braided n- categories and a-structures, categories of vector bundles and Yang- Mills equations, the role of Michael Batanin's monoidal globular categories, and braided deformations of monoidal categories and Vassiliev invariants.

Homotopy Invariant Algebraic Structures

This volume presents the proceedings of the conference held in honor of J. Michael Boardman's 60th birthday. It brings into print his classic work on conditionally convergent spectral sequences. Over the past 30 years, it has become evident that some of the deepest questions in algebra are best understood against the background of homotopy theory. Boardman and Vogt's theory of homotopy-theoretic algebraic structures and the theory of spectra, for example, were two benchmark breakthroughs underlying the development of algebraic $K$-theory and the recent advances in the theory of motives. The volume begins with short notes by Mac Lane, May, Stasheff, and others on the early and recent history ...

Secondary Calculus and Cohomological Physics

This collection of invited lectures (at the Conference on Secondary Calculus and Cohomological Physics, Moscow, 1997) reflects the state-of-the-art in a new branch of mathematics and mathematical physics arising at the intersection of geometry of nonlinear differential equations, quantum field theory, and cohomological algebra. This is the first comprehensive and self-contained book on modern quantum field theory in the context of cohomological methods and the geometry of nonlinear PDEs.
