Traces and Determinants of Pseudodifferential Operators
ISBN: 9780198568360 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

The consequent developments around such invariants have led to significant advances both in pure mathematics and theoretical physics. As the fundamental tools of trace theory have become well understood and clear general structures have emerged, so the need for specialist texts which explain the basic theoretical principles and computational techniques has become increasingly urgent.
