Finite Geometries, Groups, and Computation (De Gruyter Proceedings in Mathematics)
This volume is the proceedings of a conference on Finite Geometries, Groups, and Computation that took place on September 4-9, 2004, at Pingree Park, Colorado (a campus of Colorado State University). Not accidentally, the conference coincided with the 60th birthday of William Kantor, and the topics relate to his major research areas. Participants were encouraged to explore the deeper interplay between these fields. The survey papers by Kantor, O'Brien, and Penttila should serve to introduce both...
Automorphic Representation of Unitary Groups in Three Variables. (AM-123) (Annals of Mathematics Studies, #123)
by Jonathan David Rogawski
Handbook of Maize (Stochastic Modelling and Applied Probability) (NATO Asi Series. Series G, Ecological Sciences, #1552)
by Joachim Hilgert
Maize is one of the world's highest value crops, with a multibillion dollar annual contribution to agriculture. The great adaptability and high yields available for maize as a food, feed and forage crop have led to its current production on over 140 million hectares worldwide, with acreage continuing to grow at the expense of other crops. In terms of tons of cereal grain produced worldwide, maize has been number one for many years. Moreover, maize is expanding its contribution to non-food uses,...

Classification and Enumeration of Finite Semigroups (Berichte aus der Mathematik)
by Andreas Distler
Equations in Free Semigroups (Proceedings of the Steklov Institute of Mathematics)
This volume, the sequel to the author's ""Lectures on Linear Groups"", is the definitive work on the isomorphism theory of symplectic groups over integral domains. Recently discovered geometric methods which are both conceptually simple and powerful in their generality are applied to the symplectic groups for the first time. There is a complete description of the isomorphisms of the symplectic groups and their congruence subgroups over integral domains.Illustrative is the theorem $\mathrm{PSp}_n...
Topics in Cohomology of Groups (Lecture Notes in Mathematics, #1625)
by Serge Lang
The book is a mostly translated reprint of a report on cohomology of groups from the 1950s and 1960s, originally written as background for the Artin-Tate notes on class field theory, following the cohomological approach. This report was first published (in French) by Benjamin. For this new English edition, the author added Tate's local duality, written up from letters which John Tate sent to Lang in 1958 - 1959. Except for this last item, which requires more substantial background in algebraic g...
Amenable Locally Compact Groups (Pure & Applied Mathematics S.)
by Jean-Paul Pier
Collects the most recent results scattered throughout the literature on the theory of amenable groups, presenting a detailed investigation of the major features. The first part of the book discusses the different types of amenability properties, with basic examples listed. The second part provides complementary information on various aspects of amenability and a look at future directions.
Algebraic Groups. Utrecht 1986 (Lecture Notes in Earth Sciences, #1271)
Vorticity, Statistical Mechanics, and Monte Carlo Simulation (Lecture Notes in Economic and Mathematical Systems, #1384) (Springer Monographs in Mathematics)
by Chjan Lim and Joseph Nebus
This book is drawn from across many active fields of mathematics and physics. It has connections to atmospheric dynamics, spherical codes, graph theory, constrained optimization problems, Markov Chains, and Monte Carlo methods. It addresses how to access interesting, original, and publishable research in statistical modeling of large-scale flows and several related fields. The authors explicitly reach around the major branches of mathematics and physics, showing how the use of a few straightforw...

Analysis and Geometry on Complex Homogeneous Domains (Progress in Mathematics, #185)
by J. Faraut, etc., Soji Kaneyuki, Qi-keng Lu, and Adam Koranyi
A number of important topics in complex analysis and geometry are covered in this excellent introductory text. Written by experts in the subject, each chapter unfolds from the basics to the more complex. The exposition is rapid-paced and efficient, without compromising proofs and examples that enable the reader to grasp the essentials. The most basic type of domain examined is the bounded symmetric domain, originally described and classified by Cartan and Harish- Chandra. Two of the fiv...
Les Elements de mathematique de Nicolas Bourbaki ont pour objet une presentation rigoureuse, systematique et sans prerequis des mathematiques depuis leurs fondements. Ce troisieme volume du Livre sur les Groupes et algebres de Lie, neuvieme Livre du traite, est consacre aux structures de systemes de racines, de groupes de Coxeter et de systemes de Tits, qui apparaissent naturellement dans l'etude des groupes de Lie analytique ou algebriques. Il comprend les chapitres: -Groupes de Coxeter et sys...
Noncommutative Dynamics and E-Semigroups (Springer Monographs in Mathematics)
by William Arveson
This book introduces the notion of an E-semigroup, a generalization of the known concept of E_O-semigroup. These objects are families of endomorphisms of a von Neumann algebra satisfying certain natural algebraic and continuity conditions. Its thorough approach is ideal for graduate students and research mathematicians.
Let $p$ be a prime, $G$ a finite $\mathcal{K}_p$-group $S$ a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ and $Q$ a large subgroup of $G$ in $S$ (i.e., $C_G(Q) \leq Q$ and $N_G(U) \leq N_G(Q)$ for $1 \ne U \leq C_G(Q)$). Let $L$ be any subgroup of $G$ with $S\leq L$, $O_p(L)\neq 1$ and $Q\ntrianglelefteq L$. In this paper the authors determine the action of $L$ on the largest elementary abelian normal $p$-reduced $p$-subgroup $Y_L$ of $L$.
Algebra IV (Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences, #37)
Group theory is one of the most fundamental branches of mathematics. This highly accessible volume of the Encyclopaedia is devoted to two important subjects within this theory. Extremely useful to all mathematicians, physicists and other scientists, including graduate students who use group theory in their work.
The Classical Groups (Princeton Mathematical) (Princeton Landmarks in Mathematics and Physics)
by Hermann Weyl
In this renowned volume, Hermann Weyl discusses the symmetric, full linear, orthogonal, and symplectic groups and determines their different invariants and representations. Using basic concepts from algebra, he examines the various properties of the groups. Analysis and topology are used wherever appropriate. The book also covers topics such as matrix algebras, semigroups, commutators, and spinors, which are of great importance in understanding the group-theoretic structure of quantum mechanics....
