Along with two problem lists, these 13 papers drawn from the May 2001 conference review recent results in low dimensional topology, sympletic and contact topology, and foliations. An introductory lecture on contact topology is followed by two papers on the classification of tight contact structures.

During the 1990s, there has been several major developments in smooth ergodic theory, which have attracted substantial interest to the field from mathematicians as well as scientists using dynamics in their work. In spite of the impressive literature, it has been extremely difficult for a student - or even an established mathematician who is not an expert in the area - to acquire a working knowledge of smooth ergodic theory and to learn how to use its tools. Accordingly, the AMS Summer Research Institute on Smooth Ergodic Theory and Its Applications (Seattle, USA) had a strong educational...

Harish-Chandra was a mathematician of great power, vision, and remarkable ingenuity. His profound contributions to the representation theory of Lie groups, harmonic analysis, and related areas left researchers a legacy that continues into the 21st century. This book presents the proceedings of an AMS Special Session entitled, Representation Theory and Noncommutative Harmonic Analysis: A Special Session Honouring the Memory of Harish-Chandra, which marked 75 years since his birth and 15 years since his untimely death at age 60. Contributions to the volume were written by internationally known...

This Festschrift had its origins in a conference called SimonFest held at Caltech, March 27-31, 2006, to honor Barry Simon's 60th birthday. It is not a proceedings volume, since the emphasis of the majority of the contributions is on reviews of the state of the art of certain fields.
