This book contains an in-depth overview of the current state of the recently emerged and rapidly growing theory of Gnk groups, picture-valued invariants, and braids for arbitrary manifolds.
This book provides an introduction to deformation quantization and its relation to quantum field theory, with a focus on the constructions of Kontsevich and Cattaneo & Felder.
Since the birth of rational homotopy theory, the possibility of extending the Quillen approach - in terms of Lie algebras - to a more general category of spaces, including the non-simply connected case, has been a challenge for the algebraic topologist community.
This book describes and gives applications of an important new tool in the study of complex analytic hypersurface singularities: the Le cycles of the hypersurface.
This book describes an invariant, l, of oriented rational homology 3-spheres which is a generalization of work of Andrew Casson in the integer homology sphere case.
Dieses Buch bietet eine erste Einführung in die mathematische Theorie der dynamischen Systeme, die für Studierende des letzten Studienjahres des Bachelor Studiums und für das Master Studium geeignet ist.
An elementary text that can be understood by anyone with a background in high school geometry, Invitation to Combinatorial Topology offers a stimulating initiation to important topological ideas.
Keeping mathematical prerequisites to a minimum, this undergraduate-level text stimulates students' intuitive understanding of topology while avoiding the more difficult subtleties and technicalities.
Questo libro e la mostra che esso racconta nascono dal desiderio di comunicare quanto possa essere bella e interessante una disciplina come la matematica e di avvicinare ad essa il "visitatore" curioso.
REA's Essentials provide quick and easy access to critical information in a variety of different fields, ranging from the most basic to the most advanced.
This volume consists of introductory lectures on the topics in the new and rapidly developing area of toric homotopy theory, and its applications to the current research in configuration spaces and braids, as well as to more applicable mathematics such as fr-codes and robot motion planning.

This book covers recent topics in various aspects of foliation theory and its relation with other areas including dynamical systems, C*-algebras, index theory and low-dimensional topology.
