Principles of Probability:
From Formal Logic to Measure Theory to the Principle of Indifference

Format: Paperback / softback, 288 pages, height x width: 235x155 mm, 1 Illustrations, black and white
Series: Lecture Notes in Mathematics
Pub. Date: 03-Jan-2026
ISBN-13: 9783032094490

Description

This book presents a logical system that is able to capture all aspects of modern probability as it is practiced today. The system is then used to rigorously formulate the principle of indifference.

Using nine rules of inductive inference, a calculus of probability is developed that operates directly on sentences without reference to outcomes or sample spaces. Its surprising strength is expressed by three embedding theorems, based on an underlying many-worlds semantics in which random variables play a foundational role.

The calculus allows a formal treatment of the principle of indifference. Roughly speaking, this heuristic idea, which dates back to the time of Laplace, says that we should assign the same probability to two possibilities about which we are "equally ignorant". Despite being almost self-evident, the principle has a problematic history. It is well known to produce paradoxes when used without caution.

This is the first logical system to fully codify modern probability, revealing it to be a form of logic, as Leibniz and Boole envisioned. Modern science is more probabilistic today than ever before. Once shunned by the mainstream, Bayesian ideas now flourish. In such an environment, it is not enough to know how to calculate probabilities. We must understand the nature of probability itself. We must have a conceptual mindset to drive our calculations and our model building. The logical system described in this book lays bare this mindset, showing it to us with explicit clarity.

Cartesian Cubical Model Categories

Format: Paperback / softback, 122 pages, height x width: 235x155 mm, 180 Illustrations, black and white
Series: Lecture Notes in Mathematics
Pub. Date: 15-Jan-2026
ISBN-13: 9783032087294

Description

This book introduces the category of Cartesian cubical sets and endows it with a Quillen model structure using ideas coming from Homotopy type theory. In particular, recent constructions of cubical systems of univalent type theory are used to determine abstract homotopical semantics of type theory. The celebrated univalence axiom of Voevodsky plays a key role in establishing the basic laws of a model structure, showing that the homotopical interpretation of constructive type theory is not merely possible, but in a certain, precise sense also necessary for the validity of univalence. Fully rigorous proofs are given in diagrammatic style, using the language and methods of categorical logic and topos theory. The intended readers are researchers and graduate students in homotopy theory, type theory, and category theory.

Spectral Networks:
Bridging Higher-rank Teichmüller Theory and BPS States

Format: Paperback / softback, 578 pages, height x width: 235x155 mm, 62 Illustrations, color; 87 Illustrations, black and white
Series: Lecture Notes in Mathematics
Pub. Date: 12-Jan-2026
ISBN-13: 9783032092182

Description

This book offers a comprehensive introduction to spectral networks from a unified viewpoint that bridges geometry with the physics of supersymmetric gauge theories. It provides the foundational background needed to approach the frontiers of this rapidly evolving field, treating geometric and physical aspects in parallel. After surveying fundamental topics in algebra and geometry, a detailed introduction to higher-rank Teichmüller theory is developed, including FockGoncharov theory for Hitchin representations, maximal representations and the more recent notion of -positivity.

Spectral networks are subsequently introduced, emphasizing their utility in the study of character varieties via the abelianization and non-abelianization maps they define. In parallel, key aspects of four-dimensional gauge dynamics with eight supercharges are explored, including electricmagnetic duality, SeibergWitten theory, and class S theories. The role of spectral networks as a framework for determining and analyzing BPS spectra in class S theories is then examined. The final chapter outlines recent applications of spectral networks across a range of contemporary research areas.

This volume is intended for researchers and advanced students in either mathematics or physics who wish to enter the field.

Series: Springer Monographs in Mathematics
Pub. Date: 18-Jan-2026
ISBN-13: 9783032086099

Description

This book explores and highlights the fertile interaction between logic and operator algebras, which in recent years has led to the resolution of several long-standing open problems on C*-algebras. The author is at the forefront of research on the interplay between logic and operator algebras (C*-algebras, in particular). The deep level of scholarship contained in these pages opens doors to operator algebraists interested in learning about the set-theoretic methods relevant to their field, as well as to set-theorists interested in expanding their view to the non-commutative realm of operator algebras. Enough background is included from both subjects to make this book a convenient, self-contained source for students. Exercises form an integral part of the text. They widen and deepen the material from the corresponding chapters. Other exercises serve as a warmup for the latter chapters.

This second edition furthers the aims of the first, improving proofs and providing new insights into the relationship between logic and operator algebras. It has been expanded, adding new lemmas, definitions, propositions, and exercises. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of ultraproducts of tracial von Neumann algebras. It also introduces Kirchbergs epsilon-test for ultraproducts and reduced products, along with its strict strengthening.

Zariski Dense Subgroups, Number Theory and Geometric Applications:
Mini Courses and Expository Articles

Format: Hardback, 356 pages, height x width: 235x155 mm, 13 Illustrations, color; 4 Illustrations, black and white
Series: Infosys Science Foundation Series
Pub. Date: 01-Feb-2026
ISBN-13: 9789819534364

Description

This book presents selected chapters from the program ZariskiDense Subgroups, Number Theory, and Geometric Applications, held at the International Center for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS) in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, from January 112, 2024. The program encompassed a rich array of topics centered around Zariski-dense subgroups, with connections to algebraic and Lie groups, geometry, and number theory. It highlights the application of Diophantine approximation techniques to questions on linear groups with bounded generation, as well as innovative developments in the BruhatTits theory for algebraic groups over local fields. These ideas were explored through four mini-courses alongside numerous research and expository lectures.

Chapters are published in two volumes: Volume 1 features expanded notes from four mini-courses and two expository talks, while Volume 2 comprises twelve original research articles. Collectively, the volumes make recent advances in the theory of Zariski-dense subgroups accessible to a broad mathematical audience. The topic has continued to draw significant interest, building on discussions from earlier meetings such as the MSRI workshop in Berkeley (2012) and the IPAM workshop at UCLA (2015). Over the past two decades, Zariski-dense subgroups of algebraic groups have become a focal point of intense research, yielding a wealth of results with far-reaching applications. Notably, this line of inquiry has contributed to the construction of expander graphs and the study of spectral gaps, developments that culminated in the theory of superstrong approximation.
