Series: University Texts in the Mathematical Sciences
Pub. Date: 17-Oct-2024
ISBN-13: 9789819746422

Description

Primarily designed for graduate students of mathematics, this textbook delves into Na?ve set theory, offering valuable insights for senior undergraduate students and researchers specializing in set theory. Commencing with a comprehensive exploration of functions and relations, the book extends its coverage to various applications of Na?ve set theory across multiple mathematical branches, including real analysis, linear and abstract algebra, general topology, and introductory aspects of complex analysis and measure theory. The text meticulously introduces cardinal and ordinal numbers, along with transfinite induction, following the natural progression discovered by Cantor during his examination of trigonometric series. While this book provides a solid foundation, students intrigued by set theory for its intrinsic value should recognize that the subject extends far beyond the scope of this text.

Combinatorial Knot Theory

Pages: 180
Series on Knots and Everything: Volume 76
ISBN: 978-981-12-9272-9 (hardcover)

Description

A classic knot is an embedded simple loop in 3-dimensional space. It can be described as a 4-valent planar graph or network in the horizontal plane, with the vertices or crossings corresponding to double points of a projection. At this stage we have the shadow of the knot defined by the projection. We can reconstruct the knot by lifting the crossings into two points in space, one above the other. This information is preserved at the vertices by cutting the arc which appears to go under the over crossing arc. We can then act on this diagram of the knot using the famous Reidemeister moves to mimic the motion of the knot in space. The result is classic combinatorial knot theory. In recent years, many different types of knot theories have been considered where the information stored at the crossings determines how the Reidemeister moves are used, if at all.

In this book, we look at all these new theories systematically in a way which any third-year undergraduate mathematics student would understand. This book can form the basis of an undergraduate course or as an entry point for a postgraduate studying topology.

Analysis on Fock Spaces and Mathematical Theory of Quantum Fields, 2nd Edition
An Introduction to Mathematical Analysis of Quantum Fields

Pages: 1000
ISBN: 978-981-12-8842-5 (hardcover)

Description

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Fock space theory and its applications to mathematical quantum field theory. The first half of the book, Part I, is devoted to detailed descriptions of analysis on abstract Fock spaces (full Fock space, boson Fock space, fermion Fock space and boson-fermion Fock space). It includes the mathematics of second quantization, representation theory of canonical commutation and anti-commutation relations, Bogoliubov transformations, infinite-dimensional Dirac operators and supersymmetric quantum field in an abstract form. The second half of the book, Part II, covers applications of the mathematical theories in Part I to quantum field theory. Four kinds of free quantum fields are constructed and detailed analyses are made. A simple interacting quantum field model, called the van Hove-Miyatake model, is fully analyzed in an abstract form. Moreover, a list of interacting quantum field models is presented and an introductory description to each model is given. In this second edition, a new chapter (Chapter 15) is added to describe a mathematical theory of spontaneous symmetry breaking which is an important subject in modern quantum physics.

This book is a good introductory text for graduate students in mathematics or physics who are interested in the mathematical aspects of quantum field theory. It is also well-suited for self-study, providing readers a firm foundation of knowledge and mathematical techniques for more advanced books and current research articles in the field of mathematical analysis on quantum fields. Numerous problems are added to aid readers in developing a deeper understanding of the field.

Catalan Numbers

Selected Chapters of Number Theory: Special Numbers: Volume 4
Pages: 290

Description

Catalan numbers, named after the French-Belgian mathematician Eugene Charles Catalan (1814?1894), arise in a variety of combinatorial problems. They have many interesting properties, a rich history, and numerous arithmetic, number-theoretical, analytical and combinatorial connections, as well as a variety of classical and modern applications. Considering the long list of open problems and questions related to the classical case, its relatives (Bell numbers, Motzkin numbers, Narayana numbers, etc.) and its generalizations, this book provides a broad perspective on the theory of this class of special numbers that will be useful and of interest to both professionals and a general audience.

The book begins with the history of the problem, before defining the considered numerical sets. The recurrence equation, closed formula, and generating function are then presented, followed by the simplest properties and number-theoretical properties. Later chapters discuss the relationships between Catalan numbers and other special numbers, as well as their applications and open problems.

Contents:

Preliminaries
Pascal's Triangle and Other Arithmetic Triangles
Catalan Numbers
Relatives of Catalan Numbers
Catalan Numbers and Their Relatives on the Square Lattice
Zoo of Numbers
Mini Dictionary
Exercises

Readership:

The target audience for this book is university teachers and students at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels interested in combinatorics, number theory, general algebra, cryptography and related fields, as well as a general audience of amateur mathematicians.

Geometry of Crystallographic Groups 2nd Edition

Pages: 272
ISBN: 978-981-12-8659-9 (hardcover)

Description

It is eleven years since the First Edition of Geometry of Crystallographic Groups appeared. This Second Edition expands on the first, providing details of a new result of automorphism of crystallographic groups, and on Hantzsche-Wendt groups/manifolds.

Crystalographic groups are groups which act via isometries on some n-dimensional Euclidean space, so-named because in three dimensions they occur as the symmetry groups of a crystal. There are short introductions to the theme before every chapter, and a list of conjectures and open projects at the end of the book.

Geometry of Crystallographic Groups is suitable as a textbook for students, containing basic theory of crystallographic groups. It is also suitable for researchers in the field, discussing in its second half more advanced and recent topics.

Contents:

New Presentation of Bieberbach Theorems
Methods of Classification
Flat Manifolds with the First Betti Number Zero
Symmetris of Flat Manifolds
