In this book we study Hilbert schemes of zero-dimensional subschemes of smooth varieties and several related parameter varieties of interest in enumerative geometry.
The articles in this volume study various cohomological aspects of algebraic varieties:- characteristic classes of singular varieties;- geometry of flag varieties;- cohomological computations for homogeneous spaces;- K-theory of algebraic varieties;- quantum cohomology and Gromov-Witten theory.
The book is the second volume of a collection which consists of surveys that focus on important topics in geometry which are at the heart of current research.
The literature on the spectral analysis of second order elliptic differential operators contains a great deal of information on the spectral functions for explicitly known spectra.
This book documents the results of a workshop held at the Geometry Center (University of Minnesota, Minneapolis) and captures the excitement of the week.
The main focus of this unique book is an in-depth examination of the polygonal technique; the primary method used by master artists of the past in creating Islamic geometric patterns.
Integrable Hamiltonian systems have been of growing interest over the past 30 years and represent one of the most intriguing and mysterious classes of dynamical systems.
The Third International Workshop on Complex Structures and Vector Fields was held to exchange information on current topics in complex analysis, differential geometry and mathematical physics, and to find new subjects in these fields.
Collecting together contributed lectures and mini-courses, this book details the research presented in a special semester titled "e;Geometric mechanics - variational and stochastic methods"e; run in the first half of 2015 at the Centre Interfacultaire Bernoulli (CIB) of the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne.
Cuts and metrics are well-known objects that arise - independently, but with many deep and fascinating connections - in diverse fields: in graph theory, combinatorial optimization, geometry of numbers, combinatorial matrix theory, statistical physics, VLSI design etc.
The aim of this work is to present in a unified approach a series of results concerning totally convex functions on Banach spaces and their applications to building iterative algorithms for computing common fixed points of mea- surable families of operators and optimization methods in infinite dimen- sional settings.
"e;Stereotomy"e; is a comprehensive handbook on stereotomy, the art or technique of cutting stone, with chapters on quarrying, cutting, finishing, tools and equipment, masonry, and much more.
This book contains a series of research papers on subjects related to the work of Niels Henrik Abel, written by some of the foremost specialists in their fields.
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Submanifold theory, focusing on general properties of isometric and conformal immersions of Riemannian manifolds into space forms.
