Algebraic and Analytic Aspects of Integrable Systems and Painleve Equations

Contemporary Mathematics, Volume: 651
2015; 194 pp; softcover
ISBN-13: 978-1-4704-1654-6

This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on Algebraic and Analytic Aspects of Integrable Systems and Painleve Equations, held on January 18, 2014, at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Baltimore, MD.

The theory of integrable systems has been at the forefront of some of the most important developments in mathematical physics in the last 50 years. The techniques to study such systems have solid foundations in algebraic geometry, differential geometry, and group representation theory.

Many important special solutions of continuous and discrete integrable systems can be written in terms of special functions such as hypergeometric and basic hypergeometric functions. The analytic tools developed to study integrable systems have numerous applications in random matrix theory, statistical mechanics and quantum gravity. One of the most exciting recent developments has been the emergence of good and interesting discrete and quantum analogues of classical integrable differential equations, such as the Painleve equations and soliton equations. Many algebraic and analytic ideas developed in the continuous case generalize in a beautifully natural manner to discrete integrable systems. The editors have sought to bring together a collection of expository and research articles that represent a good cross section of ideas and methods in these active areas of research within integrable systems and their applications.

Algebraic Geometry II

Hindustan Book Agency
2015; 516 pp; hardcover
ISBN-13: 978-93-80250-80-9
Expected publication date is December 15, 2015.

Several generations of students of algebraic geometry have learned the subject from David Mumford's fabled "Red Book", which contains notes of his lectures at Harvard University. Their genesis and evolution are described by Mumford in the preface:

Initially, notes to the course were mimeographed and bound and sold by the Harvard mathematics department with a red cover. These old notes were picked up by Springer and are now sold as The Red Book of Varieties and Schemes. However, every time I taught the course, the content changed and grew. I had aimed to eventually publish more polished notes in three volumes ...

This book contains what Mumford had then intended to be Volume II. It covers the material in the "Red Book" in more depth, with several topics added. Mumford has revised the notes in collaboration with Tadao Oda.

The book is a sequel to Algebraic Geometry I, published by Springer-Verlag in 1976.

Readership

Anyone interested in algebraic geometry.

Problems in Real and Functional Analysis

Graduate Studies in Mathematics, Volume: 166
2015; 467 pp; hardcover
ISBN-13: 978-1-4704-2057-4

It is generally believed that solving problems is the most important part of the learning process in mathematics because it forces students to truly understand the definitions, comb through the theorems and proofs, and think at length about the mathematics. The purpose of this book is to complement the existing literature in introductory real and functional analysis at the graduate level with a variety of conceptual problems (1,457 in total), ranging from easily accessible to thought provoking, mixing the practical and the theoretical aspects of the subject. Problems are grouped into ten chapters covering the main topics usually taught in courses on real and functional analysis. Each of these chapters opens with a brief reader's guide stating the needed definitions and basic results in the area and closes with a short description of the problems.

The Problem chapters are accompanied by Solution chapters, which include solutions to two-thirds of the problems. Students can expect the solutions to be written in a direct language that they can understand; usually the most "natural" rather than the most elegant solution is presented.

Readership

Graduate students and researchers interested in learning and teaching real and functional analysis at the graduate level.

Origami6

approx. 736 pp; softcover
ISBN-13: 978-1-4704-1874-8

Origami6 is a unique collection of papers illustrating the connections between origami and a wide range of fields. The papers compiled in this two-part set were presented at the 6th International Meeting on Origami in Science, Mathematics and Education (10-13 August 2014, Tokyo, Japan). They display the creative melding of origami (or, more broadly, folding) with fields ranging from cell biology to space exploration, from education to kinematics, from abstract mathematical laws to the artistic and aesthetics of sculptural design.

This two-part book contains papers accessible to a wide audience, including those interested in art, design, history, and education and researchers interested in the connections between origami and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Part 1 contains papers on various aspects of mathematics of origami: coloring, constructability, rigid foldability, and design algorithms. Part 2 focuses on the connections between origami and more applied areas of science: engineering, physics, architecture, industrial design, and other artistic fields that go well beyond the usual folded paper.
