Some years ago a conference on l-adic cohomology in Oberwolfach was held with the aim of reaching an understanding of Deligne's proof of the Weil conjec- tures.
In this second edition, the main additions are a section devoted to surfaces with constant negative curvature, and an introduction to conformal geometry.

The general objective of this treatise is to give a systematic presenta- tion of some of the topological and measure-theoretical foundations of the theory of real-valued functions of several real variables, with particular emphasis upon a line of thought initiated by BANACH, GEOCZE, LEBESGUE, TONELLI, and VITALI.
The main purpose of the present work is to present to the reader a particularly nice category for the study of homotopy, namely the homo- topic category (IV).
The first five chapters of this book form an introductory course in piece- wise-linear topology in which no assumptions are made other than basic topological notions.
Since its very existence as a separate field within computerscience, computer graphics had to make extensive use ofnon-trivial mathematics, for example, projective geometry,solid modelling, and approximation theory.
Eine gleichermaßen aktuelle wie zusammenfassende Darstellung der wichtigsten Methoden zur Untersuchung der klassischen Gruppen fehlte bislang in deutschsprachigen Lehrbüchern.
This book contains the results of work done during the years 1967-1970 on fixed-point-free involutions on manifolds, and is an enlarged version of the author's doctoral dissertation [54J written under the direction of Professor William Browder.
The modern theory of Kleinian groups starts with the work of Lars Ahlfors and Lipman Bers; specifically with Ahlfors' finiteness theorem, and Bers' observation that their joint work on the Beltrami equation has deep implications for the theory of Kleinian groups and their deformations.
This unusual book, richly illustrated with 29 colour illustrations and about 200 line drawings, explores the relationship between classical tessellations and three-manifolds.
This book is devoted to the theory of geometries which are locally Euclidean, in the sense that in small regions they are identical to the geometry of the Euclidean plane or Euclidean 3-space.
This well-known booklet, now in its third, expanded edition, provides an informal survey of applications of singularity theory in a wide range of areas.
This book, the first printing of which was published as volume 38 of the Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences, presents a modern approach to homological algebra, based on the systematic use of the terminology and ideas of derived categories and derived functors.
The theory presented in this book is developed constructively, is based on a few axioms encapsulating the notion of objects (points and sets) being apart, and encompasses both point-set topology and the theory of uniform spaces.
After some decades of work a satisfactory theory of quantum gravity is still not available; moreover, there are indications that the original field theoretical approach may be better suited than originally expected.
