Applications of Diophantine Approximation to Integral Points and Transcendence

Part of Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics
Publication planned for: June 2018
availability: Not yet published - available from June 2018
format: Hardback
isbn: 9781108424943

Description

This introduction to the theory of Diophantine approximation pays special regard to Schmidt's subspace theorem and to its applications to Diophantine equations and related topics. The geometric viewpoint on Diophantine equations has been adopted throughout the book. It includes a number of results, some published here for the first time in book form, and some new, as well as classical material presented in an accessible way. Graduate students and experts alike will find the book's broad approach useful for their work, and will discover new techniques and open questions to guide their research. It contains concrete examples and many exercises (ranging from the relatively simple to the much more complex), making it ideal for self-study and enabling readers to quickly grasp the essential concepts.

Modern Analysis of Automorphic Forms By Example

Part of Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics
Publication planned for: May 2018
availability: Not yet published - available from May 2018
format: Hardback
isbn: 9781107154001

Description

This book provides a self-contained introduction to the theory and application of automorphic forms, using examples to illustrate several critical analytical concepts surrounding and supporting the theory of automorphic forms. The featured critical results, which are proven carefully and in detail, include: discrete decomposition of cuspforms, meromorphic continuation of Eisenstein series, spectral decomposition of pseudo-Eisenstein series, automorphic Plancherel theorem, and automorphic Green's functions. The book treats three instances, starting with some small unimodular examples, followed by adelic GL2, and finally GLn. With numerous proofs and extensive examples, this classroom-tested introductory text is meant for a second-year or advanced graduate course in automorphic forms, and also as a resource for researchers working in automorphic forms, analytic number theory, and related fields.
Provides an extensive and self-contained treatment of analytical aspects of automorphic forms
Provides a deep exploration of three different examples with varying degrees of complexity and generality, allowing a gradual approach to multi-faceted and highly technical issues
Collects the most important analytical ideas and proofs in the theory of automorphic forms

Character Theory and the McKay Conjecture

Part of Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics
Publication planned for: May 2018
availability: Not yet published - available from May 2018
format: Hardback
isbn: 9781108428446

Description

The McKay conjecture is the origin of the counting conjectures in the representation theory of finite groups. This book gives a comprehensive introduction to these conjectures, while assuming minimal background knowledge. Character theory is explored in detail along the way, from the very basics to the state of the art. This includes not only older theorems, but some brand new ones too. New, elegant proofs bring the reader up to date on progress in the field, leading to the final proof that if all ?nite simple groups satisfy the inductive McKay condition, then the McKay conjecture is true. Open questions are presented throughout the book, and each chapter ends with a list of problems, with varying degrees of difficulty.
Written by one of the world leaders in the field
Gives a comprehensive overview of the subject, including descriptions of related results at the end of each chapter
Brings together for the first time results that were spread throughout the literature

Fundamentals of Functions and Measure Theory, Volume 2

Series:De Gruyter Studies in Mathematics 68/2
Hardcover
Publication Date: 2018
To be published: February 2018
ISBN 978-3-11-055009-2
24.0 x 17.0 cm
Approx. xii, 400 pages
Language: English
Type of Publication: Monograph

Overview

A comprehensive, in-depth presentation of the fundamental parts of mathematics.
This second volume covers functions and measure and integration theory in detail.
Of interest to graduate students and researchers in mathematics.

Aims and Scope

This comprehensive two-volume work is devoted to the most general foundations of mathematics. It goes back to Hausdorff's classic Set Theory, where set theory and the theory of functions were expounded as the fundamental parts of mathematics in such a way that there was no need for references to other sources. Along the lines of Hausdorff's work, measure and integration theory is also included here as a basis of contemporary mathematics.
