  • A Universal Construction for Groups Acting Freely on Real Trees

    by Ian Chiswell, Thomas Müller ...
    Series Book 195 - Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics
    The theory of R-trees is a well-established and important area of geometric group theory and in this book the authors introduce a construction that provides a new perspective on group actions on R-trees. They construct a group RF(G), equipped with an action on an R-tree, whose elements are certain functions from a compact real interval to the group G. They also study the structure of RF(G), ...

  • The Foundations of Geometry (Illustrated)

    by David Hilbert, PH. D. ...
    The Foundations of GeometryGeometry, like arithmetic, requires for its logical development only a small number of simple, fundamental principles. These fundamental principles are called the axioms of geometry. The choice of the axioms and the investigation of their relations to one another is a problem which, since the time of Euclid, has been discussed in numerous excellent memoirs to be found in ...

  • Hyperbolic Manifolds

    An Introduction in 2 and 3 Dimensions

    by Albert Marden ...
    Over the past three decades there has been a total revolution in the classic branch of mathematics called 3-dimensional topology, namely the discovery that most solid 3-dimensional shapes are hyperbolic 3-manifolds. This book introduces and explains hyperbolic geometry and hyperbolic 3- and 2-dimensional manifolds in the first two chapters and then goes on to develop the subject. The author ... Read more

  • Reversibility in Dynamics and Group Theory

    by Anthony G. O'Farrell, Ian Short ...
    Series Book 416 - London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series
    Reversibility is a thread woven through many branches of mathematics. It arises in dynamics, in systems that admit a time-reversal symmetry, and in group theory where the reversible group elements are those that are conjugate to their inverses. However, the lack of a lingua franca for discussing reversibility means that researchers who encounter the concept may be unaware of related work in other ... Read more

  • Lie Theory and Its Applications in Physics

    IX International Workshop

    Edited by Vladimir Dobrev ...
    Series series Springer Nature Proceedings excluding Computer Science
    Traditionally, Lie Theory is a tool to build mathematical models for physical systems. Recently, the trend is towards geometrisation of the mathematical description of physical systems and objects. A geometric approach to a system yields in general some notion of symmetry which is very helpful in understanding its structure. Geometrisation and symmetries are meant in their broadest sense, i.e., ... Read more
