The author gives a comprehensive introduction to some of the principle areas of study, with an emphasis on applicability. The most important topicspresented are: the study of measures via the non-commutative F ourier transform, existence and regularity of densities, properties of random walks and convolution semigroups of measures, and the statistical problem of deconvolution. Theemphasis on compact (rather than general) Lie groups helps readers to get acquaint ed with what is widely seen as a difficult field but which is also justified by the wealth of interesting results at this level and the importance ofthese groups for applications. The book is primarily aimed at researchers working in probability, stochast ic analysis and harmonic analysis on groups. It will also be of interest to mathematicians working in Lie theory and physicists,statisticians and engineers who are working on related applications.

Scott Osborne Date: 2014 Publisher: Cham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer Size: 1 online resource Note: For most practicing analysts who use functional analysis, the restriction to Banach spaces seen in most real analysis graduate texts is not enough for their research. This graduate text, while focusing on locally convextopological vector spaces, is i ntended to cover most of the general theory needed for application to other areas of analysis. Normed vector spaces, Banach spaces, and Hilbert spaces are all examples of classes of locally convexspaces, which is why this is an important topic in function al analysis. While this graduate text focuses on what is needed for applications, it also shows the beauty of the subject and motivates the reader with exercises of varyingdifficulty. Key topics covered include point set topology, topological vector space s, the HahnBanach theorem, seminorms and Frchet spaces, uniform boundedness, and dual spaces.

Readers will quickly reach the frontierofcurrent research which makes the book especially ap pealing for students looking for a currently active research topic at theintersection of group theory and computer science. The word problem introduced in 1910 by Max Dehnisone of the most important decision problems in group theory. For many groups, high ly efficient algorithms for the word problem exist. In recent years, a new technique based on data compression for providing more efficient algorithmsfor word problems, has been developed, by representing long words over group generators in a compressed f orm using a straight-line program. Algorithmic techniques used for manipulating compressed words has shown that the compressedword problem can be solved in polynomial time for a large class of groups such as free groups, graph groups and nilpotent groups. These results have important implications for algorithmic questions related to automorphism groups Contents: 1. Preliminaries from Theoretical Computer Science 2.

Recently, the trend is towards geometrisation of the mathematical description of physical systems and objects. A geometric approach to asystem yields in general so me notion of symmetry which is very helpful in understanding its structure. Geometrisation and symmetries are meant in their broadest sense, i.e., classical geometry, differential geometry, groups and quantumgroups, infinite-dimensional (super-)algebras, and their representations. Furthermore, we include the necessary tools from functional analysis and number theory. This is a large interdisciplinary and interrelated field. Samples ofthese new trends are presented in this volume, based on contributions fr om the Workshop Lie Theory and Its Applications in Physics held near Varna, Bulgaria, in June 2011.

Its dedicated, student-centred approach details a near-complete proof of this theorem, widely admired for its efficacy andformal beauty. The authors present the technical tools needed to deploy the method effectively as well as demonstrating their use in a clearly structured, worked example. Ideal for students whose mastery of algebraic topology may be awork-in-progress, the text introduces key notions such as fundamental groups, homology groups, and the Euler-Poincar characteristic. These prerequisites are the subject of detailed appendices that enable focused, discrete learningwhere it is required, without interrupting the carefully planned structure of the core expositi on.

Whi le the conjecture is still open today in 2012, its study has revealed interesting arithmetic for curves and opened connections, for example, to the question whether the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only oneagainst rational points on curves. This monogr aph begins by laying the foundations for the space of sections of the fundamental group extension of an algebraic variety. Then, arithmetic assumptions on the base field are imposed and thelocal-to-global approach is studied in detail.

As well as enabling us to understand better the global structure of these groups, it marks animportant step in th e computation of the K-theory of their group rings. The classification itself is somewhat intricate, due to the rich structure of the finite subgroups of these braid groups, and is achieved by an in-depth analysisof their group-theoretical and topological properties, such as their centralisers, normalisers and cohomological periodicity. Another important aspect of our work is the close relationship of the braid groups with mapping class groups.This manuscript will serve as a reference for the study of bra id groups of low-genus surfaces, and isaddressed to graduate students and researchers in low-dimensional, geometric and algebraic topology and in algebra Note: Springer eBooks Contents: Introduction and statement of the main results Virtually cyclic groups: generalities, reduction and the mapping class group Realisation of the elements of V1(n) and V2(n) in Bn(S2) Appendix: The subgroups of the binary polyhedral groups References.

Kleinian groupsare, classically, discrete groups of conformal automorphisms of the Riemann sphere, and these can themselves be regarded as groups of holomorphic automorphisms of the complex projective line CP1. When we go into higher dimensions,there is a dichotomy: Should we look at conformal automorp hisms of the n-sphere? or should we look at holomorphic automorphisms of higher dimensional complex projective spaces? These two theories differ in higher dimensions. In thefirst case we are talking about groups of isometries of real hyperbolic spaces, an area of mathematics with a long-standing tradition in the second, about an area of mathematics that is still in its infancy, and this is the focus ofstudy in this monograph.

Until now, results about uniform measures have been scattered throughout many papers written by a number of authors, some unpublished, using a variety of definitions and notations. Uniform measures arefunctionals on the space of bounded uniformly continuo us functions on a uniform space. They are a common generalization of several classes of measures and measure-like functionals studied in topological measure theory, probabilitytheory, and abstract harmonic analysis. They offer a natural framework for resu lts about topologies on spaces of measures and about the continuity of convolution of measures on topological groups and semitopological semigroups. Thisbook can serve as a reference for the theory of uniform measures. It includes a self-contained develop ment of the theory with complete proofs, starting with the necessary parts of the theory of uniform spaces. It also includes severalnew results, and presents diverse results from many sources organized in a logical whole.

Geometric algebra offers a simple androbust means of expressi ng a wide range of ideas in mathematics, physics, and engineering. In particular, geometric algebra extends the real number system to include the concept of direction, which underpins much of modern mathematicsand physics. Much of the material presented h as been developed from undergraduate courses taught by the author over the years in linear algebra, theory of numbers, advanced calculus and vector calculus, numerical analysis, modernabstract algebra, and differential geometry. The principal aim of this book is to present these ideas in a freshly coherent and accessible manner. The book begins with a discussion of modular numbers (clock arithmetic) and modularpolynomials. This leads to the idea of a spectral basis, the complex and hyperbolic numbers, and finally to geometric algebra, which lays the groundwork for the remainder of the text. Many topics are presented in a new light,including: * vector spaces and matrices * structure of linear operators and quadratic forms * Hermitian inner product spaces * geometry of moving planes * spacetime of special relativity * classical integration theorems *differential geometry of curves and smooth surfaces * projective geometry * Lie groups and Lie algebras. Exercises with selected solutions are provided, and cha pter summaries are included to reinforce concepts as they are covered.Links to relevant websites are often given, and supplementary material is available on the authors website.

The concept of open set exploited since the 1920s offered an expression of the geometric intuition of arealistic place (spot, gr ain) of non-trivial extent. Imitating the behaviour of open sets and their relationsled to a new approach to topology flourishing since the end of the 1950s. It has proved to be beneficial in manyrespects. Neglecting points, only little information was lo st, while deeper insights have been gained moreover, many results previously dependent onchoice principles became constructive. The result is often a smoother, rather than amore entangled, theory. No monograph of this nature has appeared since Johnstone's celebrated Stone Spaces in 1983. The present book is intended as a bridge from that time to the present. Most of the material appears here in book formfor the first time or is presented from new points of view.

When this is trivial, the resulting homotopy theory is well researched and familiar. In the general case, however, homotopy theory over nontrivialfundamental groups is much more problematic and far less well understood. Syzygies and Homotopy Theory explores the problem of nonsimply connected homotopy in the first nontrivial cases and presents, for the first time, a systematicrehabilitation of Hilbert's method of syzygies in the context of non-simply connected homotopy theory. The first part of the book is theoretical, formulated to allow a general finitely presented group as a fundamental group. Theinnovation here is to regard syzygies as stable modules rather than minimal modules. Inevitably this forces a reconsideration of the problems of noncancellation these are confronted in the second, practical, part of the book. Inparticular, the second part of the book considers how the theory works out in detail for the specific e xamples Fn F where Fn is a free group of rank n and F is finite. Another innovation is to parametrize the first syzygy in terms ofthe more familiar class of stably free modules. Furthermore, detailed description of these stably free modules is effected by a suitable modification of the method of Milnor squares. The theory developed within this book has potentialapplications in various branches of algebra, including homological algebra, ring theory and K-theory. Syzygies and Homotopy Theory will be of inte rest to researchers and also to graduate students with a background in algebra andalgebraic topology Note: Springer eBooks Contents: Preliminaries The restricted linear group The calculus of corners and squares Extensions of modules The derived module category Finiteness conditions The Swan mapping Classification of algebraic complexes Rings with stably free cancellation Group rings of cyclic groups Group rings of dihedral groups Group rings of quaternionic groups Parametrizing W1 (Z) : generic case Parametrizing W1 (Z) : singular case Generalized Swan modules Parametrizing W1 (Z) : G = C F Conclusion ISBN: 9781447122944 Series: e-books Series: SpringerLink (Online service) Series: Algebra and Applications, 1572-5553 : v17 Series: Mathematics and Statistics (Springer-11649) Keywords: Mathematics , Algebra , Group theory Availability: Click here to see Library holdings or inquire at Circ Desk (x3401) Click to reserve this book Be sure to include your ID please.

Whilethe first volume of this title, subtitled Classification of Critical Points, Caustics and Wave Fronts, contained the zoology of differentiable mapsthat is, was devoted to a description of what, where, and how singularities could beencounteredthis second volume concentrates on elements of theanatomy and physiology of singu larities of differentiable functions. The questions considered here are about the structure of singularities and how they function. Inthe first part the authors consider the topological structure of isolated critical points of holomorphic functions: vanis hing cycles distinguished bases intersection matricesmonodromy groupsthe variation operatorand theirinterconnections and method of calculation. The second part is devoted to the study of the asymptotic behavior of integrals of the method of stationary pha se, which is widely met within applications. The third and last part dealswith integrals evaluated over level manifolds in a neighborhood of the critical point of a holomorphic function.
