Resume :

Complexes de Selmer
Ce livre construit de nouvelles fondations pour la theorie d'Iwasawa, basees sur une etude systematique d'invariants cohomologiques (vivant dans des categories derivees) pour les grosses representations galoisiennes. On developpe un nouveau formalisme de dualite dont on deduit des accouplements de Cassels-Tate generalises et des hauteurs p-adiques generalisees. Une des applications est un resultat de parite pour les groupes de Selmer attaches aux formes modulaires de Hilbert.

Mots clefs : Theorie d'Iwasawa, groupes de Selmer, grosses representations galoisiennes

Abstract:

This book builds new foundations of Iwasawa theory, based on a systematic study of cohomological invariants of big Galois representations in the framework of derived categories. A new duality formalism is developed, which leads to generalized Cassels-Tate pairings and generalized p-adic height pairings. One of the applications is a parity result for Selmer groups associated to Hilbert modular forms.

Key words: Iwasawa theory, Selmer groups, big Galois representations

Experimental Mathematics in Action

Summary

With the continued advance of computing power and accessibility, the view that greal mathematicians donft computeh no longer has any traction for a newer generation of mathematicians. The goal in this book is to present a coherent variety of accessible examples of modern mathematics where intelligent computing plays a significant role and in so doing to highlight some of the key algorithms and to teach some of the key experimental approaches.

Reviews

gComputing is to mathematics as telescope is to astronomy: it might not explain things, but it certainly shows fwhatfs out there.f The authors are expert in the discovery of new mathematical fplanets,f and this book is a beautifully written expose of their values, their methods, their subject, and their enthusiasm about it. A must read.h

About this book

After publishing an introduction to the Navier?Stokes equation and oceanography (Vol. 1 of this series), Luc Tartar follows with another set of lecture notes based on a graduate course in two parts, as indicated by the title. A draft has been available on the internet for a few years. The author has now revised and polished it into a text accessible to a larger audience.

Description

For juniors and seniors of various majors, taking a first course in topology.

This book introduces topology as an important and fascinating mathematics discipline. Students learn first the basics of point-set topology, which is enhanced by the real-world application of these concepts to science, economics, and engineering as well as other areas of mathematics. The second half of the book focuses on topics like knots, robotics, and graphs. The text is written in an accessible way for a range of undergraduates to understand the usefulness and importance of the application of topology to other fields.
