This updated and enlarged new edition presents a comprehensive and dedicated overview of the fundamentals and modern applications of coherent optics. Starting with the basic principles of coherence, the authors give detailed insights into the theory and applications of interferometry, holography, Fourier optics, and nonlinear optical phenomena. Especially, the chapters on current topics in nonlinear optics provide an understanding of modern implementations. Numerous examples and exercises with complete solutions help the readers to deepen their knowledge. This completely revised edition is...

This book gives a comprehensive treatment of Toeplitz operators arising in multivariable complex analysis. The first part describes in detail the underlying geometric structures (strongly pseudoconvex domains, Reinhardt domains, multivariable upper half-planes, symmetric domains and generalizations) as well as the harmonic analysis of the associated Hilbert spaces of holomorphic functions (of Hardy or Bergman type). It is also of interest to mathematicians not primarily interested in operator theory. The second part of the book determines the structure of Toeplitz operators, their C*-algebras...

Aconferenceon NoncommutativeGeometryandtheStandardModelof- ementaryParticlePhysics washeldattheHesselbergAcademy(innorthern Bavaria, Germany) during the week of March 14 19, 1999. The aim of the conference was to give a systematic exposition of the mathematical foun- tions and physical applications of noncommutative geometry, along the lines developedbyAlainConnes. Theconferencewasactuallypartofacontinuing series of conferences at the Hesselberg Academy held every three years and devoted to important developments in mathematical ?elds, such as geom- ricanalysis, operatoralgebras, indextheory,...
