  • Differential Geometryby Clifford Henry Taubes

    OUP Oxford 2011; US$ 49.50

    Bundles, connections, metrics and curvature are the 'lingua franca' of modern differential geometry and theoretical physics. This book will supply a graduate student in mathematics or theoretical physics with the fundamentals of these objects. Many of the tools used in differential topology are introduced and the basic results about differentiable manifolds, smooth maps, differential forms, vector fields, Lie groups, and Grassmanians are all presented here. Other material covered includes the basic theorems about geodesics and Jacobi fields, the classification theorem for flat connections, the definition of characteristic classes, and also an introduction to complex and K--auml--;hler geometry.Differential Geometry uses many of the... more...

  • Simulating Hamiltonian Dynamicsby Benedict Leimkuhler; Sebastian Reich; M. J. Ablowitz; S. H. Davis; E. J. Hinch; A. Iserles; J. Ockendon; P. J. Olver

    Cambridge University Press 2005; US$ 76.00

    Geometric integrators are timestepping methods, designed to exactly satisfy properties inherent in a system of differential equations. Beginning from basic principles of geometric integration and a discussion of the advantageous properties of such schemes, the book introduces a variety of methods and applications. Includes examples and excercises. more...

  • Riemannian Geometryby Isaac Chavel; B. Bollobas; W. Fulton; A. Katok; F. Kirwan; P. Sarnak; B. Simon

    Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 45.00

    This corrected and clarified second edition, including a new chapter on the Riemannian geometry of surfaces, provides an introduction to the geometry of curved spaces. Its main theme is the effect of the curvature of spaces on the usual notions of geometry, angles, lengths, areas, and volumes, and on those new notions and ideas motivated by curvature itself. more...

  • Geometry Demystifiedby Stan Gibilisco

    McGraw-Hill 2003; US$ 19.95

    Part of the ''Demystified'' series, this title teaches complex subjects in an easy-to-absorb manner and is designed for users without formal training, unlimited time, or genius IQs.

  • Affine Flag Manifolds and Principal Bundlesby Alexander H.W. Schmitt

    Springer 2010; US$ 124.00

    Affine flag manifolds are infinite dimensional versions of familiar objects such as Gramann varieties. The book features lecture notes, survey articles, and research notes - based on workshops held in Berlin, Essen, and Madrid - explaining the significance of these and related objects (such as double affine Hecke algebras and affine Springer fibers) in representation theory (e.g., the theory of symmetric polynomials), arithmetic geometry (e.g., the fundamental lemma in the Langlands program), and algebraic geometry (e.g., affine flag manifolds as parameter spaces for principal bundles). Novel aspects of the theory of principal bundles on algebraic varieties are also studied in the book. more...

  • Modular Invariant Theoryby H.E.A. Campbell; David L. Wehlau

    Springer 2011; US$ 124.00

    This book covers the modular invariant theory of finite groups, the case when the characteristic of the field divides the order of the group, a theory that is more complicated than the study of the classical non-modular case. Largely self-contained, the book develops the theory from its origins up to modern results. It explores many examples, illustrating the theory and its contrast with the better understood non-modular setting. It details techniques for the computation of invariants for many modular representations of finite groups, especially the case of the cyclic group of prime order. It includes detailed examples of many topics as well as a quick survey of the elements of algebraic geometry and commutative algebra as they apply to invariant... more...

  • Homogeneous Spaces and Equivariant Embeddingsby D.A. Timashev

    Springer 2011; US$ 124.00

    Homogeneous spaces of linear algebraic groups lie at the crossroads of algebraic geometry, theory of algebraic groups, classical projective and enumerative geometry, harmonic analysis, and representation theory. By standard reasons of algebraic geometry, in order to solve various problems on a homogeneous space it is natural and helpful to compactify it keeping track of the group action, i.e. to consider equivariant completions or, more generally, open embeddings of a given homogeneous space. Such equivariant embeddings are the subject of this book. We focus on classification of equivariant embeddings in terms of certain data of "combinatorial" nature (the Luna--Vust theory) and description of various geometric and representation-theoretic... more...

  • Reflections on Quanta, Symmetries, and Supersymmetriesby V.S. Varadarajan

    Springer 2011; US$ 99.00

    This is a collection of essays based on lectures that author has given on various occasions on foundation of quantum theory, symmetries and representation theory, and the quantum theory of the superworld created by physicists. The lectures are linked by a unifying theme: how the quantum world and superworld appear under the lens of symmetry and supersymmetry. In the world of ultra-small times and distances such as the Planck length and Planck time, physicists believe no measurements are possible and so the structure of spacetime itself is an unknown that has to be first understood. There have been suggestions (Volovich hypothesis) that world geometry at such energy regimes is non-archimedian and some of the lectures explore the consequences... more...
