EXPLANATIONS
This monograph provides a detailed study of generalized Heisenberg groups, which are 2-step nilpotent Lie groups appearing naturally in the theory of Siegel modular varieties, automorphic forms, number theory, and mathematical physics. The author develops the theory systematically and explains how these groups are connected with theta functions, the Weil representation, and the Schrödinger–Weil representation.
The book emphasizes both the algebraic structure and representation-theoretic aspects of generalized Heisenberg groups. It aims to provide explicit constructions and conceptual explanations that help readers understand the interplay among harmonic analysis, automorphic forms, and mathematical physics.
The text is intended for:
-
Researchers in representation theory

EXPLANATIONS
This textbook provides a modern introduction to combinatorial game theory with a special emphasis on games played on graphs. It is intended primarily for advanced undergraduate students, while also serving as a useful reference for graduate students and researchers interested in graph theory, algorithms, and game theory.
The book develops the fundamental mathematical theory of combinatorial games and then applies it to a wide variety of graph-based games. Topics include impartial and partisan games, positional games, computational complexity, graph coloring games, connectivity games, domination games, convexity games, and pursuit–evasion games such as cops-and-robber games.
A notable feature of the book is that it gathers several active research topics that are usually scattered across research papers and presents them in a unified and accessible framework. Readers are introduced not only to classical results such as the Sprague–Grundy theory but also to contemporary developments at the intersection of graph theory and combinatorial game theory.

EXPLANATIONS
This book provides a concise introduction to measures of relationship used in statistical analysis and emphasizes permutation statistical methods based on the Fisher–Pitman model. The authors present permutation approaches alongside conventional statistical procedures based on the Neyman–Pearson framework, allowing readers to compare the two methodologies directly.
The text covers a broad range of association measures, including:
-
Nominal–nominal association
-
Ordinal–ordinal association
-
Interval–interval correlation
-
Nominal–ordinal association
-
Nominal–interval association
-
Ordinal–interval association
-
Measures of agreement
A major goal of the book is to demonstrate how permutation methods can provide alternative significance assessments and inferential procedures that are often less dependent on classical distributional assumptions. Numerous examples illustrate the differences between permutation-based and conventional probability values.
The volume serves as a companion to the authors' earlier work, Permutation Statistical Methods: Tests of Differences, extending the permutation framework from hypothesis testing to the analysis of relationships among variables.

EXPLANATIONS
This book is a comprehensive six-volume handbook devoted to the theory and nonlinear dynamics of two-product polynomial systems. The work develops a unified framework for analyzing the dynamics generated by polynomial vector fields in two dimensions, focusing on singular and non-singular equilibria, one-dimensional flows, and the bifurcations connecting them.
A central theme of the book is the study of hybrid networks composed of singular and regular one-dimensional flows and equilibrium points. The author investigates how higher-order singular structures emerge through bifurcations of lower-order systems and how "infinite-equilibria" govern switching phenomena between different network configurations.
The work provides rigorous mathematical methods for:
- Singular equilibria and their classification
- Singular one-dimensional flows
- Hybrid dynamical networks
- Switching bifurcations
- Infinite-equilibria
- First-integral manifolds
- Local and global nonlinear analysis
- Polynomial vector fields of various parity structures
The book is aimed at researchers and graduate students working in:
- Nonlinear dynamics
- Differential equations
- Dynamical systems theory
- Applied mathematics
- Mechanical engineering
- Mathematical physics
