Description

This volume is a collection of essays on complex symmetries. It is curated, emphasizing the analysis of the symmetries, not the various phenomena that display those symmetries themselves. With this, the volume provides insight to nonspecialist readers into how individual simple symmetries constitute complex symmetry. The authors and the topics cover many different disciplines in various sciences and arts.

Simple symmetries, such as reflection, rotation, translation, similitude, and a few other simple manifestations of the phenomenon, are all around, and we are aware of them in our everyday lives. However, there are myriads of complex symmetries (composed of a bulk of simple symmetries) as well. For example, the well-known helix represents the combination of translational and rotational symmetry. Nature produces a great variety of such complex symmetries. So do the arts.

The contributions in this volume analyse selected examples (not limited to geometric symmetries). These include physical symmetries, functional (meaning not morphological) symmetries, such as symmetries in the construction of the genetic code, symmetries in human perception (e.g., in geometry education as well as in constructing physical theories), symmetries in fractal structures and structural morphology, including quasicrystal and fullerene structures in stable bindings and their applications in crystallography and architectural design, as well as color symmetries in the arts.

The volume is rounded of with beautiful illustrations and presents a fascinating panorama of this interdisciplinary topic.

Classical Lie Algebras at Infinity

Description

Originating from graduate topics courses given by the first author, this book functions as a unique text-monograph hybrid that bridges a traditional graduate course to research level representation theory. The exposition includes an introduction to the subject, some highlights of the theory and recent results in the field, and is therefore appropriate for advanced graduate students entering the field as well as research mathematicians wishing to expand their knowledge. The mathematical background required varies from chapter to chapter, but a standard course on Lie algebras and their representations, along with some knowledge of homological algebra, is necessary. Basic algebraic geometry and sheaf cohomology are needed for Chapter 10. Exercises of various levels of difficulty are interlaced throughout the text to add depth to topical comprehension.

The unifying theme of this book is the structure and representation theory of infinite-dimensional locally reductive Lie algebras and superalgebras. Chapters 1-6 are foundational; each of the last 4 chapters presents a self-contained study of a specialized topic within the larger field. Lie superalgebras and flag supermanifolds are discussed in Chapters 3, 7, and 10, and may be skipped by the reader.

Linear and Nonlinear Non-Fredholm Operators:
Theory and Applications

Pub. Date: 05-Feb-2023

Description

This book is devoted to a new aspect of linear and nonlinear non-Fredholm operators and its applications. The domain of applications of theory developed here is potentially much wider than that presented in the book. Therefore, a goal of this book is to invite readers to make contributions to this fascinating area of mathematics.

First, it is worth noting that linear Fredholm operators, one of the most important classes of linear maps in mathematics, were introduced around 1900 in the study of integral operators. These linear Fredholm operators between Banach spaces share, in some sense, many properties with linear maps between finite dimensional spaces. Since the end of the previous century there has been renewed interest in linear ? nonlinear Fredholm maps from a topological degree point of view and its applications, following a period of gstagnation" in the mid-1960s. Now, linear and nonlinear Fredholm operator theory and the solvability of corresponding equations both from the analytical and topological points of view are quite well understood.

Also noteworthy is, that as a by-product of our results, we have obtained an important tool for modelers working in mathematical biology and mathematical medicine, namely, the necessary conditions for preserving positive cones for systems of equations without Fredholm property containing local ? nonlocal diffusion as well as terms for transport and nonlinear interactions.

Table of Contents

1 Auxiliary Materials.- 2 Solvability in the sense of sequences: non-Fredholm operators.- 3 Solvability of some integro-differential equations with mixed diffusion.- 4 Existence of solutions for some non-Fredholm integro-differential equations with mixed diffusion.- 5 Non-Fredholm Schroedinger type operators.

Lorentzian Geometrical Structures with Global Time, Gravity and Electrodynamics

Description

This book investigates Lorentzian structures in the four-dimensional space-time, supplemented either by a covector field of the time-direction or by a scalar field of the global time. Furthermore, it proposes a new metrizable model of gravity. In contrast to the usual General Relativity theory, where all ten components of the symmetric pseudo-metric are independent variables, the gravity model presented here essentially depends only on a single four-covector field, and is restricted to have only three-independent components. However, the author proves that the gravitational field, governed by the proposed model and generated by some massive body, resting and spherically symmetric in some coordinate system, is given by a pseudo-metric that coincides with the well known Schwarzschild metric from General Relativity. The Maxwell equations and electrodynamics are also investigated in the framework of the proposed model. In particular, the covariant formulation of electrodynamics of moving dielectrics and para/diamagnetic media is derived.
