2020 has been the year of the virus, and it will not be a mere footnote in history.

Although ideas from quantum physics play an important role in many parts of modern mathematics, there are few books about quantum mechanics aimed at mathematicians.

Scholars in many of the disciplines surrounding politics explicitly utilize either a narrative perspective or a metaphor perspective (though rarely the two in combination) to analyze issues -- theoretical and practical, domestic and international -- in the broad field of politics.

The normal subgroup structure of maximal pro-p-subgroups of rational points of algebraic groups over the p-adics and their characteristic p analogues are investigated.

The aim of this book is the classification of symplectic amalgams - structures which are intimately related to the finite simple groups.

Contemporary Abstract Algebra, Tenth EditionFor more than three decades, this classic text has been widely appreciated by instructors and students alike.

This edited collection covers the role of the process observer - a position that enhances the effectiveness of group functioning by observing the process, summarizing the behavior of the group so that the group can learn and, if needed, improve its functioning.

This volume includes all the published papers of Alfred Young (1873-1940), who made outstanding contributions to the algebra of invariants and the theory of groups, together with a biographical sketch published after Young's death and a foreword by Professor G.

This thought-provoking volume offers psychological perspectives on the formation of empathy and how this determines both antisocial and prosocial behaviors in individuals.

One of the most creative mathematicians of our times, Vladimir Drinfeld received the Fields Medal in 1990 for his groundbreaking contributions to the Langlands program and to the theory of quantum groups.

This book pulls together new research and theory on the verbal communication of emotions by an international, cross-disciplinary group of recognized experts in affective communication.

These lecture notes provide a tutorial review of non-Abelian discrete groups and show some applications to issues in physics where discrete symmetries constitute an important principle for model building in particle physics.

The action of a compact Lie group, G, on a compact sympletic manifold gives rise to some remarkable combinatorial invariants.

Of all topological algebraic structures compact topological groups have perhaps the richest theory since 80 many different fields contribute to their study: Analysis enters through the representation theory and harmonic analysis; differential geo- metry, the theory of real analytic functions and the theory of differential equations come into the play via Lie group theory; point set topology is used in describing the local geometric structure of compact groups via limit spaces; global topology and the theory of manifolds again playa role through Lie group theory; and, of course, algebra enters through the cohomology and homology theory.

Parents often disagree with their children over their choice of partner.

This volume addresses the role of communication in stereotype dynamics, while placing the phenomenon of social stereotypes appropriately in the socio-cultural context.

This illuminating book offers an up-to-date introduction to the psychology of language, exploring aspects of language processing that have previously not been given centre stage such as the role of body and brain, social aspects of language use, and mental models.
