Riemann and Klein Surfaces, Automorphisms, Symmetries and Moduli Spaces

Contemporary Mathematics, Volume: 629
2014; 348 pp; softcover
ISBN-13: 978-1-4704-1093-3

This volume contains the proceedings of the conference on Riemann and Klein Surfaces, Symmetries and Moduli Spaces, in honor of Emilio Bujalance, held from June 24-28, 2013, at Linkoping University.

The conference and this volume are devoted to the mathematics that Emilio Bujalance has worked with in the following areas, all with a computational flavor: Riemann and Klein surfaces, automorphisms of real and complex surfaces, group actions on surfaces and topological properties of moduli spaces of complex curves and Abelian varieties.

Geometric and Spectral Analysis

Contemporary Mathematics, Volume: 630
2014; 366 pp; softcover
ISBN-13: 978-1-4704-1043-8

In 2012, the Centre de Recherches Mathematiques was at the center of many interesting developments in geometric and spectral analysis, with a thematic program on Geometric Analysis and Spectral Theory followed by a thematic year on Moduli Spaces, Extremality and Global Invariants.

This volume contains original contributions as well as useful survey articles of recent developments by participants from three of the workshops organized during these programs: Geometry of Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions, held from June 4-8, 2012; Manifolds of Metrics and Probabilistic Methods in Geometry and Analysis, held from July 2-6, 2012; and Spectral Invariants on Non-compact and Singular Spaces, held from July 23-27, 2012.

The topics covered in this volume include Fourier integral operators, eigenfunctions, probability and analysis on singular spaces, complex geometry, Kahler-Einstein metrics, analytic torsion, and Strichartz estimates.

Solving Polynomial Equation Systems
Volume 3. Algebraic Solving

Part of Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications

Publication planned for: June 2015
format: Hardback
isbn: 9780521811552

This third volume of four finishes the program begun in Volume 1 by describing all the most important techniques, mainly based on Grobner bases, which allow one to manipulate the roots of the equation rather than just compute them. The book begins with the 'standard' solutions (Gianni?Kalkbrener Theorem, Stetter Algorithm, Cardinal?Mourrain result) and then moves on to more innovative methods (Lazard triangular sets, Rouillier's Rational Univariate Representation, the TERA Kronecker package). The author also looks at classical results, such as Macaulay's Matrix, and provides a historical survey of elimination, from Bezout to Cayley. This comprehensive treatment in four volumes is a significant contribution to algorithmic commutative algebra that will be essential reading for algebraists and algebraic geometers.

Inflation and String Theory

Part of Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics
Publication planned for: March 2015
format: Hardback
isbn: 9781107089693

The past two decades have seen transformative advances in cosmology and string theory. Observations of the cosmic microwave background have revealed strong evidence for inflationary expansion in the very early universe, while new insights about compactifications of string theory have led to a deeper understanding of inflation in a framework that unifies quantum mechanics and general relativity. Written by two of the leading researchers in the field, this complete and accessible volume provides a modern treatment of inflationary cosmology and its connections to string theory and elementary particle theory. After an up-to-date experimental summary, the authors present the foundations of effective field theory, string theory, and string compactifications, setting the stage for a detailed examination of models of inflation in string theory. Three appendices contain background material in geometry and cosmological perturbation theory, making this a self-contained resource for graduate students and researchers in string theory, cosmology, and related fields.
