This book features a series of lectures that explores three different fields in which functor homology (short for homological algebra in functor categories) has recently played a significant role.
The aim of this book is to give as detailed a description as is possible of one of the most beautiful and complicated examples in low-dimensional topology.
This Volume presents a unified approach to calculate the plane stress distribution of stress and strain in thin elastic/plastic discs subject to various loading conditions.
A NATO Advanced Study Institute entitled "e;Algebraic K-theory and Algebraic Topology"e; was held at Chateau Lake Louise, Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada from December 12 to December 16 of 1991.
This volume includes both rigorous asymptotic results on the inevitability of random knotting and linking, and Monte Carlo simulations of knot probability at small lengths.
This book uncovers mathematical structures underlying natural intelligence and applies category theory as a modeling language for understanding human cognition, giving readers new insights into the nature of human thought.
With one exception, these papers are original and fullyrefereed research articles on various applications ofCategory Theory to Algebraic Topology, Logic and ComputerScience.
Graphs on Surfaces: Dualities, Polynomials, and Knots offers an accessible and comprehensive treatment of recent developments on generalized duals of graphs on surfaces, and their applications.
This textbook provides a gentle introduction to intersection homology and perverse sheaves, where concrete examples and geometric applications motivate concepts throughout.
Providing a systematic introduction to differential characters as introduced by Cheeger and Simons, this text describes important concepts such as fiber integration, higher dimensional holonomy, transgression, and the product structure in a geometric manner.
Students of topology rightly complain that much of the basic material in the subject cannot easily be found in the literature, at least not in a convenient form.
This second volume of Research in Computational Topology is a celebration and promotion of research by women in applied and computational topology, containing the proceedings of the second workshop for Women in Computational Topology (WinCompTop) as well as papers solicited from the broader WinCompTop community.
The Pontryagin-van Kampen duality theorem and the Bochner theorem on positive-definite functions are known to be true for certain abelian topological groups that are not locally compact.
This book deals with nonlinear boundary value problems for semilinear elliptic equations on unbounded domains with nonlinearities involving the subcritical Sobolev exponent.
This book reviews recent results on low-dimensional quantumfield theories and their connection with quantum grouptheory and the theory of braided, balanced tensorcategories.
