These notes present an investigation of a condition similar to Euclid's parallel axiom for subsets of finite sets.

This book examines the representation theory of the general linear groups, and reveals that there is a close analogy with that of the symmetric groups.

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.

This book will be of interest to graduate students in pure mathematics and to professional mathematicians.

This is a memorial volume to the distinguished Canadian-born mathematician Hugh Dowker.

This account is a study of twofold symmetry in algebraic topology. The author discusses specifically the antipodal involution of a real vector bundle - multiplication by - I in each fibre; doubling and squaring operations; the symmetry of bilinear forms and Hermitian K-theory. In spite of its title, this is not a treatise on equivariant topology; rather it is the language in which to describe the symmetry. Familiarity with the basic concepts of algebraic topology (homotopy, stable homotopy, homology, K-theory, the Pontrjagin Thom transfer construction) is assumed. Detailed proofs are not...

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.

This volume contains a collection of papers on the subject of the classification of finite simple groups.
