Geometry

Every group is represented in many ways as an epimorphic image of a free group.

A-infinity structure was introduced by Stasheff in the 1960s in his homotopy characterization of based loop space, which was the culmination of earlier works of Sugawara's homotopy characterization of H-spaces and loop spaces.

Differential-geometric methods are gaining increasing importance in the understanding of a wide range of fundamental natural phenomena.

On the 26th of November 1992 the organizing committee gathered together, at Luigi Salce's invitation, for the first time.

The aim of this book is to provide an account of the state of the art in Com- putational Kinematics.

Like other introductions to number theory, this one includes the usual curtsy to divisibility theory, the bow to congruence, and the little chat with quadratic reciprocity.

The subject of the present book is sub differential calculus.

Philosophers have studied geometry since ancient times.

Parallel robots are closed-loop mechanisms presenting very good performances in terms of accuracy, rigidity and ability to manipulate large loads.

Geometric Methods in System Theory In automatic control there are a large number of applications of a fairly simple type for which the motion of the state variables is not free to evolve in a vector space but rather must satisfy some constraints.

On the occasion of the sixtieth birthday of Andre Lichnerowicz a number of his friends, many of whom have been his students or coworkers, decided to celebrate this event by preparing a jubilee volume of contributed articles in the two main fields of research marked by Lichnerowicz's work, namely differential geometry and mathematical physics.

Singularities arise naturally in a huge number of different areas of mathematics and science.

There are very few concepts that fascinate equally a theoretical physicist studying black holes and a patient undergoing seriolls mental psychosis.

Noncommutative differential geometry is a new approach to classical geometry.

The problem of quark confinement is one of the classic unsolved problems of particle physics and is fundamental to our understanding of the physics of the strong interaction and the behaviour of non-Abelian gauge theories in general.

An up-to-date report on the current status of important research topics in algebraic geometry and its applications, such as computational algebra and geometry, singularity theory algorithms, numerical solutions of polynomial systems, coding theory, communication networks, and computer vision.

The lectures contained in this book were presented at Harvard University in June 1979.

In connection with the "e;Philosophy of Science"e; research program conducted by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft a colloquium was held in Munich from 18th to 20th May 1919.
