Hyperbolic Geometry and Barbilian Spaces (Publication / United States Catholic Conference)
by Wladimir-George Boskoff
The relation between mathematics and physics has a long history, in which the role of number theory and of other more abstract parts of mathematics has recently become more prominent. More than 10 years after a first meeting between number theorists and physicists at the Centre de Physique des Houches, a second two-week event focused on the broader interface of number theory, geometry, and physics. This book collects the material presented at this meeting.
Positive Polynomials in Control (Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences, #312)
Positive Polynomials in Control originates from an invited session presented at the IEEE CDC 2003 and gives a comprehensive overview of existing results in this quickly emerging area. This carefully edited book collects important contributions from several fields of control, optimization, and mathematics, in order to show different views and approaches of polynomial positivity. The book is organized in three parts, reflecting the current trends in the area: 1. applications of positive polynomial...
Introduction to Algebraic Geometry and Algebraic Groups (North-Holland Mathematics Studies, #39) (Mathematics)
by Michel Demazure and Peter Gabriel
Algebraic Cobordism (Springer Monographs in Mathematics)
by Marc Levine and Fabien Morel
Following Quillen's approach to complex cobordism, the authors introduce the notion of oriented cohomology theory on the category of smooth varieties over a fixed field. They prove the existence of a universal such theory (in characteristic 0) called Algebraic Cobordism. The book also contains some examples of computations and applications.

Fractals (Penguin Press Science S.) (Princeton Science Library)
by Hans Lauwerier
Fractals are shapes in which an identical motif repeats itself on an ever diminishing scale. A coastline, for instance, is a fractal, with each bay or headland having its own smaller bays and headlands--as is a tree with a trunk that separates into two smaller side branches, which in their turn separate into side branches that are smaller still. No longer mathematical curiosities, fractals are now a vital subject of mathematical study, practical application, and popular interest. For readers int...

Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces with Boundary (Springer Monographs in Mathematics)
by Rafael Lopez
The study of surfaces with constant mean curvature (CMC) is one of the main topics in classical differential geometry. Moreover, CMC surfaces are important mathematical models for the physics of interfaces in the absence of gravity, where they separate two different media or for capillary phenomena. Further, as most techniques used in the theory of CMC surfaces not only involve geometric methods but also PDE and complex analysis, the theory is also of great interest for many other mathematical f...
Geometric Phases in Classical and Quantum Mechanics (Progress in Mathematical Physics, #36)
by Dariusz Chruscinski and Andrzej Jamiolkowski
Several well-established geometric and topological methods are used in this work in an application to a beautiful physical phenomenon known as the geometric phase. This book examines the geometric phase, bringing together different physical phenomena under a unified mathematical scheme. The material is presented so that graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics and physics with an understanding of classical and quantum mechanics can handle the text.

Rigid Cohomology over Laurent Series Fields (Algebra and Applications, #21)
by Christopher Lazda and Ambrus Pal
In this monograph, the authors develop a new theory of p-adic cohomology for varieties over Laurent series fields in positive characteristic, based on Berthelot's theory of rigid cohomology. Many major fundamental properties of these cohomology groups are proven, such as finite dimensionality and cohomological descent, as well as interpretations in terms of Monsky-Washnitzer cohomology and Le Stum's overconvergent site. Applications of this new theory to arithmetic questions, such as l-independe...
