The study of the geometry of structures that arise in a variety of
specific natural systems, such as chemical, physical, biological,
and geological, revealed the existence of a wide range of types of
polytopes of the highest dimension that were unknown in classical
geometry. At the same time, new properties of polytopes were
discovered as well as the geometric patterns to which they obey.
There is a need to classify these types of polytopes of the highest
dimension by listing their properties and formulating the laws to
which they obey. The Classes of Higher Dimensional Polytopes in
Chemical, Physical, and Biological Systems explains the meaning of
higher dimensions and systematically generalizes the results of
geometric research in various fields of knowledge. This book is
useful both for the fundamental development of geometry and for the
development of branches of science related to human activities. It
builds upon previous books published by the author on this topic.
Covering areas such as heredity, geometry, and dimensions, this
reference work is ideal for researchers, scholars, academicians,
practitioners, industry professionals, instructors, and students.
Symmetry is all around us. Of fundamental significance to the
way we interpret the world, this unique, pervasive phenomenon
indicates a dynamic relationship between objects. Combining a rich
historical narrative with his own personal journey as a
mathematician, Marcus du Sautoy takes a unique look into the
mathematical mind as he explores deep conjectures about symmetry
and brings us face-to-face with the oddball mathematicians, both
past and present, who have battled to understand symmetry's elusive
qualities.
Classical Deformation Theory is used for determining the
completions of the local rings of an eventual moduli space. When a
moduli variety exists, a main result in the book is that the local
ring in a closed point can be explicitly computed as an
algebraization of the pro-representing hull (therefore, called the
local formal moduli) of the deformation functor for the
corresponding closed point.The book gives explicit computational
methods and includes the most necessary prerequisites. It focuses
on the meaning and the place of deformation theory, resulting in a
complete theory applicable to moduli theory. It answers the
question 'why moduli theory' and it give examples in mathematical
physics by looking at the universe as a moduli of molecules.
Thereby giving a meaning to most noncommutative theories.The book
contains the first explicit definition of a noncommutative scheme,
covered by not necessarily commutative rings. This definition does
not contradict any of the previous abstract definitions of
noncommutative algebraic geometry, but rather gives interesting
relations to other theories which is left for further
investigation.
One-Cocycles and Knot Invariants is about classical knots, i.e.,
smooth oriented knots in 3-space. It introduces discrete
combinatorial analysis in knot theory in order to solve a global
tetrahedron equation. This new technique is then used to construct
combinatorial 1-cocycles in a certain moduli space of knot
diagrams. The construction of the moduli space makes use of the
meridian and the longitude of the knot. The combinatorial
1-cocycles are therefore lifts of the well-known Conway polynomial
of knots, and they can be calculated in polynomial time. The
1-cocycles can distinguish loops consisting of knot diagrams in the
moduli space up to homology. They give knot invariants when they
are evaluated on canonical loops in the connected components of the
moduli space. They are a first candidate for numerical knot
invariants which can perhaps distinguish the orientation of knots.
In the study of the structure of substances in recent decades,
phenomena in the higher dimension was discovered that was
previously unknown. These include spontaneous zooming (scaling
processes), discovery of crystals with the absence of translational
symmetry in three-dimensional space, detection of the fractal
nature of matter, hierarchical filling of space with polytopes of
higher dimension, and the highest dimension of most molecules of
chemical compounds. This forces research to expand the formulation
of the question of constructing n-dimensional spaces, posed by
David Hilbert in 1900, and to abandon the methods of considering
the construction of spaces by geometric figures that do not take
into account the accumulated discoveries in the physics of the
structure of substances. There is a need for research that accounts
for the new paradigm of the discrete world and provides a solution
to Hilbert's 18th problem of constructing spaces of higher
dimension using congruent figures. Normal Partitions and
Hierarchical Fillings of N-Dimensional Spaces aims to consider the
construction of spaces of various dimensions from two to any finite
dimension n, taking into account the indicated conditions,
including zooming in on shapes, properties of geometric figures of
higher dimensions, which have no analogue in three-dimensional
space. This book considers the conditions of existence of polytopes
of higher dimension, clusters of chemical compounds as polytopes of
the highest dimension, higher dimensions in the theory of heredity,
the geometric structure of the product of polytopes, the products
of polytopes on clusters and molecules, parallelohedron and
stereohedron of Delaunay, parallelohedron of higher dimension and
partition of n-dimensional spaces, hierarchical filling of
n-dimensional spaces, joint normal partitions, and hierarchical
fillings of n-dimensional spaces. In addition, it pays considerable
attention to biological problems. This book is a valuable reference
tool for practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians,
and students who are interested in learning more about the latest
research on normal partitions and hierarchical fillings of
n-dimensional spaces.
