  • Geometry of Hypersurfaces

    by Patrick J. Ryan, Thomas E. Cecil ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This exposition provides the state-of-the art on the differential geometry of hypersurfaces in real, complex, and quaternionic space forms. Special emphasis is placed on isoparametric and Dupin hypersurfaces in real space forms as well as Hopf hypersurfaces in complex space forms. The book is accessible to a reader who has completed a one-year graduate course in differential geometry. The text, ... Read more

  • The Fractalist

    Memoir of a Scientific Maverick

    by Benoit Mandelbrot ...
    A fascinating memoir from the man who revitalized visual geometry, and whose ideas about fractals have changed how we look at both the natural world and the financial world.Benoit Mandelbrot, the creator of fractal geometry, has significantly improved our understanding of, among other things, financial variability and erratic physical phenomena. In The Fractalist, Mandelbrot recounts the high ... Read more

  • Basic Category Theory

    by Tom Leinster ...
    Series Book 143 - Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics
    At the heart of this short introduction to category theory is the idea of a universal property, important throughout mathematics. After an introductory chapter giving the basic definitions, separate chapters explain three ways of expressing universal properties: via adjoint functors, representable functors, and limits. A final chapter ties all three together. The book is suitable for use in ... Read more

  • Geometry from a Differentiable Viewpoint

    by John McCleary ...
    The development of geometry from Euclid to Euler to Lobachevsky, Bolyai, Gauss and Riemann is a story that is often broken into parts – axiomatic geometry, non-Euclidean geometry and differential geometry. This poses a problem for undergraduates: Which part is geometry? What is the big picture to which these parts belong? In this introduction to differential geometry, the parts are united with all ...

  • First Steps in Differential Geometry

    Riemannian, Contact, Symplectic

    by Andrew McInerney ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    Differential geometry arguably offers the smoothest transition from the standard university mathematics sequence of the first four semesters in calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations to the higher levels of abstraction and proof encountered at the upper division by mathematics majors. Today it is possible to describe differential geometry as "the study of structures on the tangent ... Read more

  • Structure and Geometry of Lie Groups

    by Joachim Hilgert, Karl-Hermann Neeb ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This self-contained text is an excellent introduction to Lie groups and their actions on manifolds. The authors start with an elementary discussion of matrix groups, followed by chapters devoted to the basic structure and representation theory of finite dimensinal Lie algebras. They then turn to global issues, demonstrating the key issue of the interplay between differential geometry and Lie ... Read more

  • Clifford Algebras and Lie Theory

    by Eckhard Meinrenken ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This monograph provides an introduction to the theory of Clifford algebras, with an emphasis on its connections with the theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras. The book starts with a detailed presentation of the main results on symmetric bilinear forms and Clifford algebras. It develops the spin groups and the spin representation, culminating in Cartan’s famous triality automorphism for the group ... Read more

  • Analytic and Probabilistic Approaches to Dynamics in Negative Curvature

    Edited by Marc Peigné, Françoise Dal'Bo, Andrea Sambusetti ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    The work consists of two introductory courses, developing different points of view on the study of the asymptotic behaviour of the geodesic flow, namely: the probabilistic approach via martingales and mixing (by Stéphane Le Borgne); the semi-classical approach, by operator theory and resonances (by Frédéric Faure and Masato Tsujii). The contributions aim to give a self-contained introduction to ... Read more

  • Recent Trends in Lorentzian Geometry

    Edited by Miguel Sánchez, Miguel Ortega, Alfonso Romero ...
    Series series Springer Nature Proceedings excluding Computer Science
    Traditionally, Lorentzian geometry has been used as a necessary tool to understand general relativity, as well as to explore new genuine geometric behaviors, far from classical Riemannian techniques. Recent progress has attracted a renewed interest in this theory for many researchers: long-standing global open problems have been solved, outstanding Lorentzian spaces and groups have been classified ...
