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.
The main goal of the CIME Summer School on "e;Algebraic Cycles and Hodge Theory"e; has been to gather the most active mathematicians in this area to make the point on the present state of the art.
This volume of research papers is an outgrowth of the Manin Seminar at Moscow University, devoted to K-theory, homological algebra and algebraic geometry.
The aim of this international conference the third of its type was to survey recent developments in Geometric Topology and Shape Theory with an emphasis on their interaction.
