Focus is ontopics in representation theory of algebraic groups and quantum groups

Of interest to graduate students and researchers in representation theory, group theory, algebraic geometry, quantum theory and math physics

Along the lines developed by Grothendieck, this book delves into the rich interplay between algebraic geometry and commutative algebra. A selection is made from the wealth of material in the discipline, along with concise yet clear definitions and synopses.

In recent decades, quantization has led to interesting applications in various mathematical branches. This volume, comprised of research and survey articles, discusses key topics, including symplectic and algebraic geometry, representation theory, quantum groups, the geometric Langlands program, quantum ergodicity, and non-commutative geometry. A wide range of topics related to quantization are covered, giving a glimpse of the broad subject. The articles are written by distinguished mathematicians in the field and reflect subsequent developments following the Arithmetic and Geometry around...

La geometrie rigide est devenue, au fil des ans, un outil indispensable dans un grand nombre de questions en geometrie arithmetique. Depuis ses premieres fondations, posees par J. Tate en 1961, la theorie s'est developpee dans des directions variees. Ce livre est le premier volume d'un traite qui expose un developpement systematique de la geometrie rigide suivant l'approche de M. Raynaud, basee sur les schemas formels a eclatements admissibles pres. Ce volume est consacre a la construction des espaces rigides dans une situation relative et a l'etude de leurs proprietes geometriques....

Here is a comprehensive exposition of the key results and ideas connected to the Poncelet theorem, focusing on the mathematics and including the dynamics of integrable billiards and the algebraic geometry of hyperelliptic Jacobians, among other material.

The book addresses several problems in contemporary corporate finance: optimal capital structure, both in the US and in the G7 economies; the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the Arbitrage Pricing Model (APT) and the implications for the cost of capital; dividend policy; sales forecasting and pro forma statement analysis; leverage and bankruptcy; and mergers and acquisitions. It is designed to be used as an advanced graduate corporate financial management textbook.

Graphs drawn on two-dimensional surfaces have always attracted researchers by their beauty and by the variety of difficult questions to which they give rise. The theory of such embedded graphs, which long seemed rather isolated, has witnessed the appearance of entirely unexpected new applications in recent decades, ranging from Galois theory to quantum gravity models, and has become a kind of a focus of a vast field of research. The book provides an accessible introduction to this new domain, including such topics as coverings of Riemann surfaces, the Galois group action on embedded graphs...

Exploring the connections between arithmetic and geometric properties of algebraic varieties has been the object of much fruitful study for a long time, especially in the case of curves. The aim of the Summer School and Conference on "Higher Dimensional Varieties and Rational Points" held in Budapest, Hungary during September 2001 was to bring together students and experts from the arithmetic and geometric sides of algebraic geometry in order to get a better understanding of the current problems, interactions and advances in higher dimension. The lecture series and conference lectures...

The book covers topics in the theory of algebraic transformation groups and algebraic varieties which are very much at the frontier of mathematical research.
