The Heat Kernel Lefschetz Fixed Point Formula for the Spin-C Dirac Operator
ISBN: 9781461253464 / Angielski / Miękka / 247 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When visiting M.I.T. for two weeks in October 1994, Victor Guillemin made me enthusiastic about a problem in symplectic geometry which involved the use of the so-called spin-c Dirac operator. Back in Berkeley, where I had l spent a sabbatical semester, I tried to understand the basic facts about this operator: its definition, the main theorems about it, and their proofs. This book is an outgrowth of the notes in which I worked this out. For me this was a great learning experience because of the many beautiful mathematical structures which are involved. I thank the Editorial Board of...

Geometry of Harmonic Maps
ISBN: 9781461286448 / Angielski / Miękka / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Harmonic maps are solutions to a natural geometrical variational prob lem. This notion grew out of essential notions in differential geometry, such as geodesics, minimal surfaces and harmonic functions. Harmonic maps are also closely related to holomorphic maps in several complex variables, to the theory of stochastic processes, to nonlinear field theory in theoretical physics, and to the theory of liquid crystals in materials science. During the past thirty years this subject has been developed extensively. The monograph is by no means intended to give a complete description of the theory of...

Clifford (Geometric) Algebras: With Applications to Physics, Mathematics, and Engineering
ISBN: 9781461286547 / Angielski / Miękka / 517 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume is an outgrowth of the 1995 Summer School on Theoretical Physics of the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP), held in Banff, Alberta, in the Canadian Rockies, from July 30 to August 12,1995. The chapters, based on lectures given at the School, are designed to be tutorial in nature, and many include exercises to assist the learning process. Most lecturers gave three or four fifty-minute lectures aimed at relative novices in the field. More emphasis is therefore placed on pedagogy and establishing comprehension than on erudition and superior scholarship. Of course, new and...

Modern Geometry-- Methods and Applications: Part II: The Geometry and Topology of Manifolds
ISBN: 9781461270119 / Angielski / Miękka / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Up until recently, Riemannian geometry and basic topology were not included, even by departments or faculties of mathematics, as compulsory subjects in a university-level mathematical education. The standard courses in the classical differential geometry of curves and surfaces which were given instead (and still are given in some places) have come gradually to be viewed as anachronisms. However, there has been hitherto no unanimous agreement as to exactly how such courses should be brought up to date, that is to say, which parts of modern geometry should be regarded as absolutely essential to...

Riemannian Foliations
ISBN: 9781468486728 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Foliation theory has its origins in the global analysis of solutions of ordinary differential equations: on an n-dimensional manifold M, an autonomous] differential equation is defined by a vector field X; if this vector field has no singularities, then its trajectories form a par- tition of M into curves, i.e. a foliation of codimension n - 1. More generally, a foliation F of codimension q on M corresponds to a partition of M into immersed submanifolds the leaves] of dimension, --------, - - . - -- p = n - q. The first global image that comes to mind is 1--------;- - - - - - that of a...

Several Complex Variables V: Complex Analysis in Partial Differential Equations and Mathematical Physics
ISBN: 9783642634338 / Angielski / Miękka / 287 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this part, we present a survey of mean-periodicity phenomena which arise in connection with classical questions in complex analysis, partial differential equations, and more generally, convolution equations. A common feature of the problem we shall consider is the fact that their solutions depend on tech niques and ideas from complex analysis. One finds in this way a remarkable and fruitful interplay between mean-periodicity and complex analysis. This is exactly what this part will try to explore. It is probably appropriate to stress the classical flavor of all of our treat ment. Even...

Synthetic Geometry of Manifolds
ISBN: 9780521116732 / Angielski / Twarda / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This elegant book is sure to become the standard introduction to synthetic differential geometry. It deals with some classical spaces in differential geometry, namely prolongation spaces or neighborhoods of the diagonal. These spaces enable a natural description of some of the basic constructions in local differential geometry and, in fact, form an inviting gateway to differential geometry, and also to some differential-geometric notions that exist in algebraic geometry. The presentation conveys the real strength of this approach to differential geometry. Concepts are clarified, proofs are...

Geometry from a Differentiable Viewpoint

The development of geometry from Euclid to Euler to Lobachevsky, Bolyai, Gauss, and Riemann is a story that is often broken into parts - axiomatic geometry, non-Euclidean geometry, and differential geometry. This poses a problem for undergraduates: Which part is geometry? What is the big picture to which these parts belong? In this introduction to differential geometry, the parts are united with all of their interrelations, motivated by the history of the parallel postulate. Beginning with the ancient sources, the author first explores synthetic methods in Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry...
