Description

This book, Differential Geometry: Riemannian Geometry and Isometric Immersions (Book I-B), is the first in a captivating series of four books presenting a choice of topics, among fundamental and more advanced in differential geometry (DG). Starting with the basics of semi-Riemannian geometry, the book aims to develop the understanding of smooth 1-parameter variations of geodesics of, and correspondingly of, Jacobi fields. A few algebraic aspects required by the treatment of the Riemann?Christoffel four-tensor and sectional curvature are successively presented. Ricci curvature and Einstein manifolds are briefly discussed. The Sasaki metric on the total space of the tangent bundle over a Riemannian manifold is built, and its main properties are investigated. An important integration technique on a Riemannian manifold, related to the geometry of geodesics, is presented for further applications. The other three books of the series are

Differential Geometry 1: Manifolds, Bundle and Characteristic Classes (Book I-A)Differential Geometry 3: Foundations of Cauchy-Riemann and Pseudohermitian Geometry (Book I-C)Differential Geometry 4: Advanced Topics in Cauchy?Riemann and Pseudohermitian Geometry (Book I-D)

The four books belong to a larger book project (Differential Geometry, Partial Differential Equations, and Mathematical Physics) by the same authors, aiming to demonstrate how certain portions of DG and the theory of partial differential equations apply to general relativity and (quantum) gravity theory. These books supply some of the ad hoc DG machinery yet do not constitute a comprehensive treatise on DG, but rather authorsf choice based on their scientific (mathematical and physical) interests. These are centered around the theory of immersions?isometric, holomorphic, Cauchy?Riemann (CR)?and pseudohermitian geometry, as devised by Sidney Martin Webster for the study of nondegenerate CR structures, themselves a DG manifestation of the tangential CR equations.

Description

This book, consisting of two volumes, gives a contemporary account of the study of the class of projective algebraic surfaces known as Enriques surfaces. These surfaces were discovered more than 125 years by F. Enriques in an attempt to extend the characterization of rational algebraic curves to the case of algebraic surfaces. The novel feature of the present exposition is that no assumption on the characteristic of the ground field is assumed.

This requirement calls for exploring the geometry of such surfaces by purely geometric and arithmetic methods that do not rely on transcendental methods such as the theory of periods of algebraic surfaces of type K3, which are close relatives of Enriques surfaces. Some of the methods use many technical tools from algebraic geometry that are discussed in Volume 1 and will be a useful source of reference for the study of algebraic surfaces over fields of positive characteristic. Volume 1 also contains a detailed exposition of the theory of elliptic surfaces over fields of arbitrary characteristic.

The second volume discusses many new topics for example, the theory of automorphisms of Enriques surfaces and the relationships with hyperbolic geometry. Together, the two volumes contain many examples and an extensive bibliography made up of more than 700 items.

ISBN: 978-981-98-0616-4 (hardcover)
ISBN: 978-981-98-0713-0 (softcover)

Description

This book explores three computational formalisms for solving geometric problems. Part I introduces a trigonometric-based formalism, enabling calculations of distances, angles, and areas using basic trigonometry. Part II focuses on complex numbers, representing points in the plane to manipulate geometric properties like collinearity and concurrency, making it particularly useful for planar problems and rotations. Part III covers vector formalism, applying linear algebra to both plane and solid geometry. Vectors are effective for solving problems related to perpendicularity, collinearity, and the calculation of distances, areas, and volumes.

Each formalism has its strengths and limitations, with complex numbers excelling in the plane and vectors being more versatile in three-dimensional space. This book equips readers to choose the best approach for various geometric challenges.

This book, designed for math majors, especially future educators, is also valuable for gifted high school students and educators seeking diverse proofs and teaching inspiration.

Advanced Topics on Semilinear Evolution Equations

Pages: 396
ISBN: 978-981-98-0318-7 (hardcover)

Description

Differential evolution equations serve as mathematical representations that capture the progression or transformation of functions or systems as time passes. Currently, differential equations continue to be an active and thriving area of study, with continuous advancements in mathematical methodologies and their practical applications spanning diverse fields such as physics, engineering, and economics. In the late 20th century, the notion of "Differential Evolution Equations" emerged as a distinct field applied to optimization and machine learning challenges. Evolution equations hold immense importance in numerous realms of applied mathematics and have experienced notable prominence in recent times.

This book delves into the study of several classes of equations, aiming to investigate the existence of mild and periodic mild solutions and their properties such as approximate controllability, complete controllability and attractivity, under various conditions. By examining diverse problems involving second-order semilinear evolution equations, differential and integro-differential equations with state-dependent delay, random effects, and functional differential equations with delay and random effects, we hope to contribute to the advancement of mathematical knowledge and provide researchers, academicians, and students with a solid foundation for further exploration in this field. Throughout this book, we explore different mathematical frameworks, employing Frechet spaces and Banach spaces to provide a comprehensive analysis. Our investigation extends beyond traditional solutions, encompassing the study of asymptotically almost automorphic mild solutions, periodic mild solutions, and impulsive integro-differential equations. These topics shed light on the behavior of equations in both bounded and unbounded domains, offering valuable insights into the dynamics of functional evolution equations.
