As the interaction of mathematics and theoretical physics continues to intensify, the theories developed in mathematics are being applied to physics, and conversely.
In his studies of cyclotomic fields, in view of establishing his monumental theorem about Fermat's last theorem, Kummer introduced "e;local"e; methods.
The book is based on my lecture notes "e;Infinite dimensional Morse theory and its applications"e;, 1985, Montreal, and one semester of graduate lectures delivered at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, 1987.
This volume is the Proceedings of the Third Korea-China-Japan Inter- national Symposium on Ring Theory held jointly with the Second Korea- Japan Joint Ring Theory Seminar which took place at the historical resort area of Korea, Kyongju, June 28-July 3, 1999.
This work is an introduction to the basic tools of the theory of (partially) ordered sets such as visualization via diagrams, subsets, homomorphisms, important order-theoretical constructions, and classes of ordered sets.
This text features a careful treatment of flow lines and algebraic invariants in contact form geometry, a vast area of research connected to symplectic field theory, pseudo-holomorphic curves, and Gromov-Witten invariants (contact homology).
The theory of function spaces endowed with the topology of point wise convergence, or Cp-theory, exists at the intersection of three important areas of mathematics: topological algebra, functional analysis, and general topology.
This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Applications TOWARDS HIGHER CATEGORIES contains expository and research papers based on a highly successful IMA Summer Program on n-Categories: Foundations and Applications.
From a Geometrical Point of View explores historical and philosophical aspects of category theory, trying therewith to expose its significance in the mathematical landscape.
The papers collected in this volume are contributions to the 43rd session of the Seminaire ' de mathematiques ' superieures ' (SMS) on "e;Morse Theoretic Methods in Nonlinear Analysis and Symplectic Topology.
This categorical perspective on homotopy theory helps consolidate and simplify one''s understanding of derived functors, homotopy limits and colimits, and model categories, among others.
