Topological Invariants for Projection Method Patterns
ISBN: 9780821829653 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This memoir develops, discusses and compares a range of commutative and non-commutative invariants defined for projection method tilings and point patterns. The projection method refers to patterns, particularly the quasiperiodic patterns, constructed by the projection of a strip of a high dimensional integer lattice to a smaller dimensional Euclidean space. In the first half of the memoir the acceptance domain is very general - any compact set which is the closure of its interior - while in the second half the authors concentrate on the so-called canonical patterns. The topological...

Lectures on Coarse Geometry
ISBN: 9780821833322 / Angielski / Miękka / 175 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Coarse geometry is the study of spaces (particularly metric spaces) from a ''large scale'' point of view, so that two spaces that look the same from a great distance are actually equivalent. This point of view is effective because it is often true that the relevant geometric properties of metric spaces are determined by their coarse geometry. Two examples of important uses of coarse geometry are Gromov's beautiful notion of a hyperbolic group and Mostow's proof of his famous rigidity theorem. The first few chapters of the book provide a general perspective on coarse structures. Even when only...

Introduction to Algebraic Curves
ISBN: 9780821845370 / Angielski / Miękka / 221 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book differs from a number of recent books on this subject in that it combines analytic and geometric methods at the outset, so that the reader can grasp the basic results of the subject. Although such modern techniques of sheaf theory, cohomology, and commutative algebra are not covered here, the book provides a solid foundation to proceed to more advanced texts in general algebraic geometry, complex manifolds, and Riemann surfaces, as well as algebraic curves. Containing numerous exercises this book would make an excellent introductory text.

The Selected Works of J. Frank Adams
ISBN: 9780521110686 / Angielski / Miękka / 548 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. J. Frank Adams was one of the world's leading topologists. He solved a number of celebrated problems in algebraic topology, a subject in which he initiated many of the most active areas of research. He wrote a large number of papers during the period 1955 1988, and they are characterised by elegant writing and depth of thought. Few of them have been superseded by later work. This selection, in two volumes, brings together all his major research contributions. They are organised by subject matter rather than in strict chronological order. The first contains papers on: the cobar construction,...

Symplectic Fibrations and Multiplicity Diagrams
ISBN: 9780521111867 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Multiplicity diagrams can be viewed as schemes for describing the phenomenon of "symmetry breaking" in quantum physics. The subject of this book is the multiplicity diagrams associated with the classical groups U(n), O(n), etc. It presents such topics as asymptotic distributions of multiplicities, hierarchical patterns in multiplicity diagrams, lacunae, and the multiplicity diagrams of the rank 2 and rank 3 groups. The authors take a novel approach, using the techniques of symplectic geometry. The book develops in detail some themes which were touched on in the highly successful Symplectic...

Serious Fun with Flexagons: A Compendium and Guide
ISBN: 9789048125029 / Angielski / Twarda / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A flexagon is a motion structure that has the appearance of a ring of hinged polygons. It can be flexed to display different pairs of faces, usually in cyclic order. Flexagons can be appreciated as toys or puzzles, as a recreational mathematics topic, and as the subject of serious mathematical study. Workable paper models of flexagons are easy to make and entertaining to manipulate. The mathematics of flexagons is complex, and how a flexagon works is not immediately obvious on examination of a paper model. Recent geometric analysis, included in the book, has improved theoretical... A flexagon is a motion structure that has the appearance of a ring of hinged polygons.

Quasicrystals and Geometry
ISBN: 9780521575416 / Angielski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Quasicrystals and Geometry brings together for the first time the many strands of contemporary research in quasicrystal geometry and weaves them into a coherent whole. The author describes the historical and scientific context of this work, and carefully explains what has been proved and what is conjectured. This, together with a bibliography of over 250 references, provides a solid background for further study. The discovery in 1984 of crystals with 'forbidden' symmetry posed fascinating and challenging problems in many fields of mathematics, as well as in the solid state sciences....

ISBN: 9783540617860 / Angielski / Miękka / 379 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the reviews: "Such a vast amount of information as this book contains can only be accomplished in 375 pages by a very economical style of writing... it enables one to have a good look at the forest without being too detracted by the individual trees... The author deserves unstinting praise for the skill, energy, and perseverance which he devoted to this work. The finished product confirms what his many ear- lier contributions to the subject of finite geometry have already indicated, namely, that he is an undisputed leader in his field."

On a Class of 3SUM-HARD problems in Computational Geometry
ISBN: 9783639158373 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Given a simple polygon P and an integer K > 1, we want to compute the set of straight lines in the Cartesian plane that cut this polygon into exactly K simple polygons. We call this set of lines a K-separator and call this problem the K-separator problem. We present an algorithm that finds the K-separators of an n-vertex simple polygon, for all K > 0, in O(n2) total time. We prove that the decision problem given an integer K > 2 and an edge of the polygon, is there a line through this edge that cuts the polygon in exactly K pieces?, is 3SUM-HARD. For the special case when K = 2, we show that...

Connecting Orbits and the Boundary Map Method
ISBN: 9783639163407 / Angielski / Miękka / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is known that any isolated invariant set can be decompose into two isolated invariant sets (the attractor and the dual repeller) and the connecting orbits between them. Detection of these connecting orbits is a central problem in the qualitative analysis of differential equations. The Conley index theory provides a tool to partially solve this problem by attaching to an isolated invariant set a pointed topological space (the index) and then construct a long exact sequence in terms of homologies/cohomologies of the invariant set and the attractor and the repeller that decompose it. The...
