This volume contains the papers presented at a symposium on differential geometry at Shinshu University in July of 1988. Carefully reviewed by a panel of experts, the papers pertain to the following areas of research: dynamical systems, geometry of submanifolds and tensor geometry, lie sphere geometry, Riemannian geometry, Yang-Mills Connections, and geometry of the Laplace operator.
This Handbook treats those parts of the theory of Boolean algebras of most interest to pure mathematicians: the set-theoretical abstract theory and applications and relationships to measure theory, topology, and logic. It is divided into two parts (published in three volumes). Part I (volume 1) is a comprehensive, self-contained introduction to the set-theoretical aspects of the theory of Boolean Algebras. It includes, in addition to a systematic introduction of basic algebra and topological ideas, recent developments such as the Balcar-Franek and Shelah-Shapirovskii results on free subalgebras. Part II (volumes 2 and 3) contains articles on special topics describing - mostly with full proofs - the most recent results in special areas such as automorphism groups, Ketonen's theorem, recursive Boolean algebras, and measure algebras.
In this book, the basic notions and tools of unimodality as they relate to probability and statistics are presented. In addition, many applications are covered; these include the use of unimodality to obtain monotonicity properties of power functions of multivariate tests, minimum volume confidence regions, and recurrence of symmetric random walks. The diversity of the applications will convince the reader that unimodality and convexity form an important tool in the hands of a researcher in probability and statistics.
Real Reductive Groups I is an introduction to the representation theory of real reductive groups. It is based on courses that the author has given at Rutgers for the past 15 years. It also had its genesis in an attempt of the author to complete a manuscript of the lectures that he gave at the CBMS regional conference at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in June of 1981. This book comprises 10 chapters and begins with some background material as an introduction. The following chapters then discuss elementary representation theory; real reductive groups; the basic theory of (g, K)-modules; the asymptotic behavior of matrix coefficients; The Langlands Classification; a construction of the fundamental series; cusp forms on G; character theory; and unitary representations and (g, K)-cohomology. This book will be of interest to mathematicians and statisticians.
This book presents interpolation theory from its classical roots
beginning with Banach function spaces and equimeasurable
rearrangements of functions, providing a thorough introduction to
the theory of rearrangement-invariant Banach function spaces. At
the same time, however, it clearly shows how the theory should be
generalized in order to accommodate the more recent and powerful
applications. Lebesgue, Lorentz, Zygmund, and Orlicz spaces receive
detailed treatment, as do the classical interpolation theorems and
their applications in harmonic analysis.
Introduction to Lie Groups and Lie Algebra, 51
This book has grown from notes used by the authors to instruct fast transform classes. One class was sponsored by the Training Department of Rockwell International, and another was sponsored by the Department of Electrical Engineering of The University of Texas at Arlington. Some of the material was also used in a short course sponsored by the University of Southern California. The authors are indebted to their students for motivating the writing of this book and for suggestions to improve it.
Scattering theory is the study of an interacting system on a scale of time and/or distance which is large compared to the scale of the interaction itself. As such, it is the most effective means, sometimes the only means, to study microscopic nature. To understand the importance of scattering theory, consider the variety of ways in which it arises. First, there are various phenomena in nature (like the blue of the sky) which are the result of scattering. In order to understand the phenomenon (and to identify it as the result of scattering) one must understand the underlying dynamics and its scattering theory. Second, one often wants to use the scattering of waves or particles whose dynamics on knows to determine the structure and position of small or inaccessible objects. For example, in x-ray crystallography (which led to the discovery of DNA), tomography, and the detection of underwater objects by sonar, the underlying dynamics is well understood. What one would like to construct are correspondences that link, via the dynamics, the position, shape, and internal structure of the object to the scattering data. Ideally, the correspondence should be an explicit formula which allows one to reconstruct, at least approximately, the object from the scattering data. The main test of any proposed particle dynamics is whether one can construct for the dynamics a scattering theory that predicts the observed experimental data. Scattering theory was not always so central the physics. Even thought the Coulomb cross section could have been computed by Newton, had he bothered to ask the right question, its calculation is generally attributed to Rutherford more than two hundred years later. Of course, Rutherford's calculation was in connection with the first experiment in nuclear physics.

A collection of self contained state-of-the art surveys. The
authors have made an effort to achieve readability for
mathematicians and scientists from other fields, for this series of
handbooks to be a new reference for research, learning and
teaching.
The chapters of this volume all have their own level of
presentation. The topics have been chosen based on the active
research interest associated with them. Since the interest in some
topics is older than that in others, some presentations contain
fundamental definitions and basic results while others relate very
little of the elementary theory behind them and aim directly toward
an exposition of advanced results. Presentations of the latter sort
are in some cases restricted to a short survey of recent results
(due to the complexity of the methods and proofs themselves). Hence
the variation in level of presentation from chapter to chapter only
reflects the conceptual situation itself. One example of this is
the collective efforts to develop an acceptable theory of
computation on the real numbers. The last two decades has seen at
least two new definitions of effective operations on the real
numbers. |
