Containing four parts such as Analytic Geometry, Algebraic Geometry, Variations of Hodge Structures, and Differential Systems that are organized according to the subject matter, this title provides the reader with a panoramic view of important and exciting mathematics during the second half of the 20th century.

This volume is a collection of published papers by Robert Steinberg. It contains all of his published papers on group theory, including those on special representations (now called Steinberg representations), Coxeter groups, regular nilpotent elements and Galois cohomology. After each paper, there is a section, Comments on the papers, that contains minor corrections and clarifications and explains how ideas and results have evolved and been used since they first appeared.

The field of differential topology underwent a dramatic development period between 1955 and 1965. This collection of articles contains original papers and expository lectures. It includes commentary by the author, filling in some of the historical context,

Eugene Dynkin is a rare example of a contemporary mathematician who has achieved results in two quite different areas of research: algebra and probability. In both areas, his ideas constitute an essential part of modern mathematical knowledge and form a basis for further development. Although his last work in algebra was published in 1955, his contributions continue to influence current research in algebra and in the physics of elementary particles. His work in probability is part of both the historical and the modern development of the topic.

This volume presents all the published works -- spanning more than thirty years -- of Julia Bowman Robinson. These papers constitute important contributions to the theory of effectively calculable functions and to its applications. Outstanding among the latter are Robinson's proof of the effective unsolvability of the decision problem for the rational number field (and, consequently of that for the first-order theory of all fields), and her work that provided the central step toward the negative solution of Hilbert's Tenth Problem. These results provide upper bound for what one can hope to...

Phillip Griffiths has been a central figure in mathematics. During this time, he made crucial contributions in several fields, including complex analysis, algebraic geometry, and differential systems. This book covers analytic geometry, algebraic geometry, variations of Hodge structures, and differential systems.

V.S. Varadarajan has made significant contributions to a broad range of mathematical subjects which include probability theory, various mathematical aspects of quantum mechanics, harmonic analysis on reductive groups and symmetric spaces, and the modern theory of meromorphic differential equations. The papers included in this volume have been selected to highlight these contributions. The book is jointly published by the AMS and the International Press.

Maurice Auslander made important contributions to many parts of algebra. This book features a broad selection of the core of his work, including commutative algebra, singularity theory, the theory of orders, and the representation theory of artin algebras. Although Auslander worked in many areas, there are characteristics common to most of his research. Of particular note is his use of homological methods, including functor categories. While his early work was concerned mostly with commutative rings and his later work mainly with Artin algebras, he was always interested in finding common...

Alberto Calderon was one of the leading mathematicians of the twentieth century. This title presents a wide selection from some of Calderon's most influential papers that range from singular integrals to partial differential equations, from interpolation t

Mathematician R.H. Bing laid the foundation for a number of areas of topology. Many of his papers have continued to serve as a source of major theoretical developments and concrete applications. One example was Michael H. Freedman's use of Bing's Shrinking Criterion to solve the four-dimensional Poincare Conjecture. This two-volume set brings together over 100 of Bing's research, expository and miscellaneous papers. These works range over a variety of topics in topology, including the topology of manifolds, decomposition spaces, continua, metrization, general topology, and geometric topology....
