This book contains the proceedings of a meeting that brought together friends and colleagues of Guy Rideau at the Universite Denis Diderot (Paris, France) in January 1995.
Our motivation for gathering the material for this book over aperiod of seven years has been to unify and simplify ideas wh ich appeared in a sizable number of re- search articles during the past two decades.
A partially ordered group is an algebraic object having the structure of a group and the structure of a partially ordered set which are connected in some natural way.
This book is designed as an introduction into what I call 'abstract' Topological Dynamics (TO): the study of topological transformation groups with respect to problems that can be traced back to the qualitative theory of differential equa- is in the tradition of the books [GH] and [EW.
This volume contains 19 articles written by speakers at the Advanced Study Institute on 'Modular representations and subgroup structure of al- gebraic groups and related finite groups' held at the Isaac Newton Institute, Cambridge from 23rd June to 4th July 1997.
In recent times it has been stated that many dynamical systems of classical mathematical physics and mechanics are endowed with symplectic structures, given in the majority of cases by Poisson brackets.
During the last twenty-five years quite remarkable relations between nonas- sociative algebra and differential geometry have been discovered in our work.
One of the characteristics of modern algebra is the development of new tools and concepts for exploring classes of algebraic systems, whereas the research on individual algebraic systems (e.
This book contains 58 papers from among the 68 papers presented at the Fifth International Conference on Fibonacci Numbers and Their Applications which was held at the University of St.
On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Sophus Lie, an International Work- shop "e;Modern Group Analysis: advanced analytical and computational methods in mathematical physics"e; has been organized in Acireale (Catania, Sicily, October 27- 31, 1992).
In many ways the last decade has witnessed a surge of interest in the interplay between theoretical physics and some traditional areas of pure mathematics.
This series presents some tools of applied mathematics in the areas of proba- bility theory, operator calculus, representation theory, and special functions used currently, and we expect more and more in the future, for solving problems in math- ematics, physics, and, now, computer science.
During the past two decades representations of noncompact Lie groups and Lie algebras have been studied extensively, and their application to other branches of mathematics and to physical sciences has increased enormously.
The aim of this volume is to reinforce the interaction between the three main branches (abstract, convex and computational) of the theory of polytopes.
This volume contains the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Finite and Locally Finite Groups held in Istanbul, Turkey, 14-27 August 1994, at which there were about 90 participants from some 16 different countries.
Introduction In the last few years a few monographs dedicated to the theory of topolog- ical rings have appeared [Warn27], [Warn26], [Wies 19], [Wies 20], [ArnGM].
New and striking results obtained in recent years from an intensive study of asymptotic combinatorics have led to a new, higher level of understanding of related problems: the theory of integrable systems, the Riemann-Hilbert problem, asymptotic representation theory, spectra of random matrices, combinatorics of Young diagrams and permutations, and even some aspects of quantum field theory.
The Advanced Study Institute brought together researchers in the main areas of special functions and applications to present recent developments in the theory, review the accomplishments of past decades, and chart directions for future research.
Special relativity and quantum mechanics, formulated early in the twentieth century, are the two most important scientific languages and are likely to remain so for many years to come.
This present volume is the Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Near- rings and Nearfields held in Hamburg at the Universitiit der Bundeswehr Hamburg, from July 30 to August 06, 1995.
This book contains 43 papers form among the 55 papers presented at the Sixth International Conference on Fibonacci Numbers and Their Applications which was held at Washington State University, Pullman, Washington, from July 18-22, 1994.
Starting from an undergraduate level, this book systematically develops the basics of* Calculus on manifolds, vector bundles, vector fields and differential forms,* Lie groups and Lie group actions,* Linear symplectic algebra and symplectic geometry,* Hamiltonian systems, symmetries and reduction, integrable systems and Hamilton-Jacobi theory.
