The author uses modern methods from computational group theory and representation theory to treat this classical topic of function theory. He provides classifications of all automorphism groups up to genus 48. The book also classifies the ordinary characters for several groups, arising from the action of automorphisms on the space of holomorphic abelian differentials of a compact Reimann surface. This book is suitable for graduate students and researchers in group theory, representation theory, complex analysis and computer algebra.

The first part of this book is an introduction with emphasis on examples that illustrate the theory of operator spaces. The second part is devoted to applications to C*-algebras, with a systematic exposition of tensor products of C* algebras. The third part of the book describes applications to non self-adjoint operator algebras and similarity problems. The author's counterexample to the "Halmos problem" is presented, along with work on the new concept of "length" of an operator algebra.

The Revolution of 1917 briefly opened up the possibility of a new world of freedom and equality. It ended, however, in totalitarian dictatorship and the establishment of a new ruling class in Russia.

This book is the first comprehensive treatment of the history of British science and technology in relation to economic performance. Using a wealth of previously unknown statistical data, David Edgerton draws new and controversial conclusions about British innovation and technical training since 1870, and provides a unique guide to the debates around the subject. This book will be of interest to economic historians and political scientists, as well as scientists and engineers, and will be invaluable to students approaching the subject for the first time.

The subject of this book is the continuous Hochschild cohomology of dual normal modules over a von Neumann algebra. The authors develop the necessary technical results, assuming a familiarity with basic C*-algebra and von Neumann algebra theory, including the decomposition into types, but no prior knowledge of cohomology theory is required and the theory of completely bounded and multilinear operators is given fully. Those cases when the continuous Hochschild cohomology Hn(M, M) of the von Neumann algebra M over itself is zero are central to this book. The material in this book lies in the...

This book studies data received by the anthropologist and how it is dealt with.

In this volume, which is dedicated to H. Seifert, are papers based on talks given at the Isle of Thorns conference on low dimensional topology held in 1982.

In these notes the abstract theory of analytic one-parameter semigroups in Banach algebras is discussed.

This book provides a striking synthesis of the standard theory of connections in principal bundles and the Lie theory of Lie groupoids.

This volume contains a selection of the invited papers presented at a LMS Durham Symposium on modern developments in non-classical continuum mechanics.
