  • A Primer on Mapping Class Groups

    by Benson Farb, Dan Margalit ...
    Series Book 49 - Princeton Mathematical Series
    The study of the mapping class group Mod(S) is a classical topic that is experiencing a renaissance. It lies at the juncture of geometry, topology, and group theory. This book explains as many important theorems, examples, and techniques as possible, quickly and directly, while at the same time giving full details and keeping the text nearly self-contained. The book is suitable for graduate ... Read more

  • Indra's Pearls

    The Vision of Felix Klein

    by David Mumford, Caroline Series, David Wright ...
    Felix Klein, one of the great nineteenth-century geometers, discovered in mathematics an idea prefigured in Buddhist mythology: the heaven of Indra contained a net of pearls, each of which was reflected in its neighbour, so that the whole Universe was mirrored in each pearl. Klein studied infinitely repeated reflections and was led to forms with multiple coexisting symmetries. For a century, these ... Read more

  • A First Course in Computational Algebraic Geometry

    by Wolfram Decker, Gerhard Pfister ...
    Series series AIMS Library of Mathematical Sciences
    A First Course in Computational Algebraic Geometry is designed for young students with some background in algebra who wish to perform their first experiments in computational geometry. Originating from a course taught at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences, the book gives a compact presentation of the basic theory, with particular emphasis on explicit computational examples using the ...

  • Classical Algebraic Geometry

    A Modern View

    by Igor V. Dolgachev ...
    Algebraic geometry has benefited enormously from the powerful general machinery developed in the latter half of the twentieth century. The cost has been that much of the research of previous generations is in a language unintelligible to modern workers, in particular, the rich legacy of classical algebraic geometry, such as plane algebraic curves of low degree, special algebraic surfaces, theta ...

  • Aperiodic Order: Volume 1, A Mathematical Invitation

    by Michael Baake, Uwe Grimm ...
    Series Book 149 - Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications
    Quasicrystals are non-periodic solids that were discovered in 1982 by Dan Shechtman, Nobel Prize Laureate in Chemistry 2011. The underlying mathematics, known as the theory of aperiodic order, is the subject of this comprehensive multi-volume series. This first volume provides a graduate-level introduction to the many facets of this relatively new area of mathematics. Special attention is given to ... Read more

  • Cox Rings

    by Ivan Arzhantsev, Ulrich Derenthal, Jürgen Hausen, Antonio Laface ...
    Series Book 144 - Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics
    Cox rings are significant global invariants of algebraic varieties, naturally generalizing homogeneous coordinate rings of projective spaces. This book provides a largely self-contained introduction to Cox rings, with a particular focus on concrete aspects of the theory. Besides the rigorous presentation of the basic concepts, other central topics include the case of finitely generated Cox rings ... Read more

  • Hodge Theory and Complex Algebraic Geometry II: Volume 2

    by Claire Voisin ...
    Translated by Leila Schneps ...
    Series Book 77 - Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics
    The 2003 second volume of this account of Kaehlerian geometry and Hodge theory starts with the topology of families of algebraic varieties. Proofs of the Lefschetz theorem on hyperplane sections, the Picard–Lefschetz study of Lefschetz pencils, and Deligne theorems on the degeneration of the Leray spectral sequence and the global invariant cycles follow. The main results of the second part are the ... Read more

  • Fourier Restriction for Hypersurfaces in Three Dimensions and Newton Polyhedra

    by Detlef Müller, Isroil A. Ikromov ...
    Series Book 194 - Annals of Mathematics Studies
    This is the first book to present a complete characterization of Stein-Tomas type Fourier restriction estimates for large classes of smooth hypersurfaces in three dimensions, including all real-analytic hypersurfaces. The range of Lebesgue spaces for which these estimates are valid is described in terms of Newton polyhedra associated to the given surface.Isroil Ikromov and Detlef Müller begin with ... Read more

  • Configuration Spaces

    Geometry, Topology and Representation Theory

    Edited by Filippo Callegaro, Frederick Cohen, Corrado De Concini, Eva Maria Feichtner, Giovanni Gaiffi, Mario Salvetti ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This book collects the scientific contributions of a group of leading experts who took part in the INdAM Meeting held in Cortona in September 2014. With combinatorial techniques as the central theme, it focuses on recent developments in configuration spaces from various perspectives. It also discusses their applications in areas ranging from representation theory, toric geometry and geometric ... Read more

  • Non-Archimedean Tame Topology and Stably Dominated Types

    by Ehud Hrushovski, François Loeser ...
    Series Book 192 - Annals of Mathematics Studies
    Over the field of real numbers, analytic geometry has long been in deep interaction with algebraic geometry, bringing the latter subject many of its topological insights. In recent decades, model theory has joined this work through the theory of o-minimality, providing finiteness and uniformity statements and new structural tools.For non-archimedean fields, such as the p-adics, the Berkovich ...

  • Galois Theory, Coverings, and Riemann Surfaces

    by Askold Khovanskii ...
    Translated by Vladlen Timorin, Valentina Kiritchenko ...
    The first part of this book provides an elementary and self-contained exposition of classical Galois theory and its applications to questions of solvability of algebraic equations in explicit form. The second part describes a surprising analogy between the fundamental theorem of Galois theory and the classification of coverings over a topological space. The third part contains a geometric ...

  • Rigidity and Symmetry

    Edited by Robert Connelly, Asia Ivić Weiss, Walter Whiteley ...
    Series Book 70 - Fields Institute Communications
    This book contains recent contributions to the fields of rigidity and symmetry with two primary focuses: to present the mathematically rigorous treatment of rigidity of structures and to explore the interaction of geometry, algebra and combinatorics. Contributions present recent trends and advances in discrete geometry, particularly in the theory of polytopes. The rapid development of abstract ... Read more
