Contains papers that cover a wide variety of topics in the geometric theory of functions of one and several complex variables, including univalent functions, conformal and quasiconformal mappings, minimal surfaces, and dynamics in infinite-dimensional spac

This volume presents the proceedings of the workshop Harmonic Functions on Graphs held at the Graduate Centre of CUNY in the autumn of 1995. The main papers present material from four minicourses given by leading experts: D. Cartwright, A. Fig a-Talamanca, S. Sawyer, and T. Steger. These minicrouses are introductions which gradually progress to deeper and less known branches of the subject. One of the topics treated is buildings, which are discrete analogues of symmetric spaces of arbitrary rank; buildings of rank are trees. Harmonic analysis on buildings is a fairly new and important field...

George Mackey was an extraordinary mathematician of great power and vision. His profound contributions to representation theory, harmonic analysis, ergodic theory, and mathematical physics left a legacy for researchers. This book is based on lectures prese

This volume contains 14 articles that represent the AMS Special Session on Special Functions and Orthogonal Polynomials, held in Tucson, Arizona in April of 2007. It gives an overview of the modern field of special functions with all major subfields represented including asymptotic analysis, conformal mapping, and much more.

Deals with various topics in singularity theory and its applications. This book discusses such topics as invariants of singularities, integral closure and equisingularity, classification theory, contact structures and vector fields, and Thom polynomials.

Toric topology is the study of algebraic, differential, symplectic-geometric, combinatorial, and homotopy-theoretic aspects of a particular class of torus actions whose quotients are highly structured. This book contains the proceedings of the Internationa

This book contains the refereed proceedings of the AMS-IMS-SIAM Joint Summer Research Conference on Recent Developments in the Inverse Galois Problem, held in July 1993 at the University of Washington, Seattle. A new review of Serre's Topics in Galois Theory serves as a starting point. The book describes the latest research on explicit presentation of the absolute Galois group of the rationals. Containing the first appearance of generalizations of modular curves, the book presents applications that demonstrate the full scope of the Inverse Galois Problem. In particular, the papers collected...

This book contains refereed papers presented at the AMS-IMS-SIAM Summer Research Conference on the Penrose Transform and Analytic Cohomology in Representation Theory held in the summer of 1992 at Mount Holyoke College. The conference brought together some of the top experts in representation theory and differential geometry. One of the issues explored at the conference was the fact that various integral transforms from representation theory, complex integral geometry, and mathematical physics appear to be instances of the same general construction, which is sometimes called the Penrose...

Based on the talks at the conference commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the appearance of Mandelbrot sets, this book provides a panorama of research in complex dynamics.

Suitable for those interested in harmonic analysis and its application to partial differential equations and ergodic theory. This book describes developments in harmonic analysis: Eduardo Gatto studies spaces with doubling and non-doubling measures; Cora S
