Topology: A Geometric Approach

(Hardback )
0-19-851597-9
Publication date: April 2003
380 pages, 186 line, 234mm x 156mm
Series: Oxford Graduate Texts in Mathematics

Unique text approaching the teaching of Topology via guided exercises and extensive coverage of basic material
Contains a flexible set of topics that allows independent assignments within a single class for students at different levels
Contains extensive and carefully developed exercise sets (over 750) and projects, with selected solutions

Description

This introduction to topology emphasises a geometric approach with a focus on surfaces. A primary feature is a large collection of exercises and projects, which fosters a teaching style making the student an active class participant. A wide range of material at different levels supports flexible use of the book for a variety of students. Part I is appropriate for a one semester or two quarter course, and Part II, (which is problem based), allows the book to be used for a year long course which supports a variety of syllabuses.

Readership: Advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in pure mathematics and topology.

Ill-Posed Internal Boundary Value Problems for the Biharmonic Equation

Inverse and Ill-Posed Problems Series

An internal boundary value problem deals with the problem of determining the solution of an equation, if data are given on two manifolds. One manifold is the domain boundary and the other manifold is situated inside the domain. This monograph in the Inverse and Ill-Posed Problems Series studies three essentially ill-posed internally boundary value problems for the biharmonic equation and the Cauchy problem for the abstract biharmonic equation, both qualitatively and quantitatively. In addition, some variants of these problems and the Cauchy problem, as well as the m-dimensional case are considered.

This monograph, in which the author introduces some new notions, such as the notion of complete solvability, will be of interest to specialists in mathematical physics.

Hausdorff Spectra in Functional Analysis

2002 VIII, 209 p. 38 illus. Hardcover
1-85233-571-8

Self-contained, and collating for the first time material that has until now only been published in journals - often in Russian - this book will be of interest to functional analysts, especially those with interests in topological vector spaces, and to algebraists concerned with category theory. The closed graph theorem is one of the corner stones of functional analysis, both as a tool for applications and as an object for research. However, some of the spaces which arise in applications and for which one wants closed graph theorems are not of the type covered by the classical closed graph theorem of Banach or its immediate extensions. To remedy this, mathematicians such as Schwartz and De Wilde (in the West) and Rajkov (in the East) have introduced new ideas which have allowed them to establish closed graph theorems suitable for some of the desired applications. In this book, Professor Smirnov uses category theory to provide a very general framework, including the situations discussed by De Wilde, Rajkov and others. General properties of the spaces involved are discussed and applications are provided in measure theory, global analysis and differential equations.

Manis Valuations and Prufer Extensions I
A New Chapter in Commutative Algebra

2002 VI, 267 p. Softcover
3-540-43951-X

The present book is devoted to a study of relative Prufer rings and Manis valuations, with an eye to application in real and p-adic geometry. If one wants to expand on the usual algebraic geometry over a non-algebraically closed base field, e.g. a real closed field or p-adically closed field, one typically meets lots of valuation domains. Usually they are not discrete and hence not noetherian. Thus, for a further develomemt of real algebraic and real analytic geometry in particular, and certainly also rigid analytic and p-adic geometry, new chapters of commutative algebra are needed, often of a non-noetherian nature. The present volume presents one such chapter.

Keywords: Bezout ring, Manis valuation, Prufer ring, holormorphy ring, multiplicative ideal theory

Contents: Introduction.- Basics on Manis valuations and Prufer extensions.- Multiplicative ideal theory.- PM-valuations and valuations of weaker type.- Appendix A: Flat epimorphisms.- Appendix B: Arithmetical rings.- Appendix C: A direct proof of the existence of Manis valuation hulls.- References.- Index.
