Bücher der Reihe Progress in Mathematics

Volume I presents the speeches delivered at the Congress, the list of lectures, and short summaries of the achievements of the prize winners as well as papers by plenary and parallel speakers.

This book features a series of lectures that explores three different fields in which functor homology (short for homological algebra in functor categories) has recently played a significant role.

This bookprovides an overview of the latest developments concerning the moduli of K3surfaces. It is aimed at algebraic geometers, but is also of interest to numbertheorists and theoretical physicists, and continues the tradition of relatedvolumes like ¿The Moduli Space of Curves¿ and ¿Moduli of Abelian Varieties,¿which originated from conferences on the islands Texel and Schiermonnikoog andwhich have become classics.K3 surfacesand their moduli form a central topic in algebraic geometry and arithmeticgeometry, and have recently attracted a lot of attention from bothmathematicians and theoretical physicists. Advances in this field often resultfrom mixing sophisticated techniques from algebraic geometry, lattice theory,number theory, and dynamical systems. The topic has received significantimpetus due to recent breakthroughs on the Tate conjecture, the study ofstability conditions and derived categories, and links with mirror symmetry andstring theory. At the sametime, the theory of irreducible holomorphicsymplectic varieties, the higher dimensional analogues of K3 surfaces, hasbecome a mainstream topic in algebraic geometry.Contributors:S.

This lecture notes volume presents significant contributions from the "Algebraic Geometry and Number Theory" Summer School, held at Galatasaray University, Istanbul, June 2-13, 2014. It addresses subjects ranging from Arakelov geometry and Iwasawa theory to classical projective geometry, birational geometry and equivariant cohomology.

His contributions to many fields include representation theory, harmonic analysis, algebraic geometry, combinatorics, number theory, differential equations, Riemannian geometry, ring theory, and quantum information theory.

This volume presents original research articles and extended surveys related to the mathematical interest and work of Jean-Michel Bismut.

Ever since the analogy between number fields and function fields was discovered, it has been a source of inspiration for new ideas. This title contains articles which explore various aspects of the parallel worlds of function fields and number fields, ranging from Arakelov geometry to Drinfeld modules, and t-motives.

His contributions to many fields include representation theory, harmonic analysis, algebraic geometry, combinatorics, number theory, differential equations, Riemannian geometry, ring theory, and quantum information theory.

This volume, dedicated to the memory of the great American mathematician Bertram Kostant (May 24, 1928 - February 2, 2017), is a collection of 19 invited papers by leading mathematicians working in Lie theory, representation theory, algebra, geometry, and mathematical physics.

The various contributions to this volume cover a broad range of topics in metric and differential geometry, including metric spaces, Ricci flow, Einstein manifolds, Kahler geometry, index theory, hypoelliptic Laplacian and analytic torsion.

Tamari lattices can be realized in terms of polytopes called associahedra, which in fact also appeared first in Tamari's thesis. On the occasion of Dov Tamari's centennial birthday, this book provides an introduction to topical research related to Tamari's work and ideas.

Evolution equations of hyperbolic or more general p-evolution type form an active field of current research. The book gives an overview of a variety of ongoing current research in the field and, therefore, allows researchers as well as students to grasp new aspects and broaden their understanding of the area.

This monograph lays down the foundations of the theory of complex Kleinian groups, a newly born area of mathematics whose origin traces back to the work of Riemann, Poincare, Picard and many others. Kleinian groups are, classically, discrete groups of conformal automorphisms of the Riemann sphere, and these can be regarded too as being groups of holomorphic automorphisms of the complex projective line CP1. When going into higher dimensions, there is a dichotomy: Should we look at conformal automorphisms of the n-sphere?, or should we look at holomorphic automorphisms of higher dimensional complex projective spaces? These two theories are different in higher dimensions. In the first case we are talking about groups of isometries of real hyperbolic spaces, an area of mathematics with a long-standing tradition. In the second case we are talking about an area of mathematics that still is in its childhood, and this is the focus of study in this monograph. This brings together several important areas of mathematics, as for instance classical Kleinian group actions, complex hyperbolic geometry, chrystallographic groups and the uniformization problem for complex manifolds.

The action of a compact Lie group, G, on a compact sympletic manifold gives rise to some remarkable combinatorial invariants. The simplest and most interesting of these is the moment polytopes, a convex polyhedron which sits inside the dual of the Lie algebra of G.

The book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of differential geometry, complex geometry, and several complex variables geometry, as well as to graduate students in mathematics.

This book takes the reader from the end of introductory Lie group theory to the threshold of infinite-dimensional group representations. Merging algebra and analysis throughout, the author uses Lie-theoretic methods to develop a beautiful theory having wide applications in mathematics and physics.

This book expresses the full understanding of Weyl's formula for the volume of a tube, its roots and its implications. Historical notes and Mathematica drawings have been added to this revised second edition. From the reviews:"Will do much to make Weyl's tube formula more accessible to modern readers....

"...A nice feature of the book [is] that at various points the authors provide examples, or rather counterexamples, that clearly show what can go wrong...This is a nicely-written book [that] studies algebraic differential modules in several variables."--Mathematical Reviews

Contains a significant amount of new in areas of interest, and presents the "big picture" in an engaging framework.

Deals with the study of rational and integral points on higher-dimensional algebraic varieties. This book contains selected research papers addressing the arithmetic geometry of varieties which are not of general type, with an emphasis on how rational points are distributed with respect to the classical, Zariski and adelic topologies.

Details the mathematical developments in total variation based image restauration. This book is devoted to PDE's of elliptic and parabolic type associated to functionals having a linear growth in the gradient, with a special emphasis on the applications related to image restoration and nonlinear filters.

This book gives an introduction to index theory for symplectic matrix paths and its iteration theory, as well as applications to periodic solution problems of nonlinear Hamiltonian systems.

An exploration of the theory of discrete integrable systems, with an emphasis on the following general problem: how to discretize one or several of independent variables in a given integrable system of differential equations, maintaining the integrability property?

The main objective of this book is to give a broad uni?ed introduction to the study of dimension and recurrence inhyperbolic dynamics.

This text offers a collection of survey and research papers by leading specialists in the field documenting the current understanding of higher dimensional varieties.

The first European Congress of Mathematics was held in Paris from July 6 to July 10, 1992, at the Sorbonne and Pantheon-Sorbonne universities. Moreover, a Junior Mathematical Congress was organized, in parallel with the Congress, which brought together two hundred high school students.
