Geometric Analysis and Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations
Author: Stefan Hildebrandt
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642556272
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 663
Book Description
This book is not a textbook, but rather a coherent collection of papers from the field of partial differential equations. Nevertheless we believe that it may very well serve as a good introduction into some topics of this classical field of analysis which, despite of its long history, is highly modem and well prospering. Richard Courant wrote in 1950: "It has always been a temptationfor mathematicians to present the crystallized product of their thought as a deductive general theory and to relegate the individual mathematical phenomenon into the role of an example. The reader who submits to the dogmatic form will be easily indoctrinated. Enlightenment, however, must come from an understanding of motives; live mathematical development springs from specific natural problems which can be easily understood, but whose solutions are difficult and demand new methods or more general significance. " We think that many, if not all, papers of this book are written in this spirit and will give the reader access to an important branch of analysis by exhibiting interest ing problems worth to be studied. Most of the collected articles have an extensive introductory part describing the history of the presented problems as well as the state of the art and offer a well chosen guide to the literature. This way the papers became lengthier than customary these days, but the level of presentation is such that an advanced graduate student should find the various articles both readable and stimulating.

Harmonic Morphisms, Harmonic Maps and Related Topics
Author: Christopher Kum Anand
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9781584880325
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
The subject of harmonic morphisms is relatively new but has attracted a huge worldwide following. Mathematicians, young researchers and distinguished experts came from all corners of the globe to the City of Brest - site of the first, international conference devoted to the fledgling but dynamic field of harmonic morphisms. Harmonic Morphisms, Harmonic Maps, and Related Topics reports the proceedings of that conference, forms the first work primarily devoted to harmonic morphisms, bringing together contributions from the founders of the subject, leading specialists, and experts in other related fields. Starting with "The Beginnings of Harmonic Morphisms," which provides the essential background, the first section includes papers on the stability of harmonic morphisms, global properties, harmonic polynomial morphisms, Bochner technique, f-structures, symplectic harmonic morphisms, and discrete harmonic morphisms. The second section addresses the wider domain of harmonic maps and contains some of the most recent results on harmonic maps and surfaces. The final section highlights the rapidly developing subject of constant mean curvature surfaces. Harmonic Morphisms, Harmonic Maps, and Related Topics offers a coherent, balanced account of this fast-growing subject that furnishes a vital reference for anyone working in the field.

Infinite Dimensional Morse Theory and Multiple Solution Problems
Author: K.C. Chang
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461203856
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
The book is based on my lecture notes "Infinite dimensional Morse theory and its applications", 1985, Montreal, and one semester of graduate lectures delivered at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, 1987. Since the aim of this monograph is to give a unified account of the topics in critical point theory, a considerable amount of new materials has been added. Some of them have never been published previously. The book is of interest both to researchers following the development of new results, and to people seeking an introduction into this theory. The main results are designed to be as self-contained as possible. And for the reader's convenience, some preliminary background information has been organized. The following people deserve special thanks for their direct roles in help ing to prepare this book. Prof. L. Nirenberg, who first introduced me to this field ten years ago, when I visited the Courant Institute of Math Sciences. Prof. A. Granas, who invited me to give a series of lectures at SMS, 1983, Montreal, and then the above notes, as the primary version of a part of the manuscript, which were published in the SMS collection. Prof. P. Rabinowitz, who provided much needed encouragement during the academic semester, and invited me to teach a semester graduate course after which the lecture notes became the second version of parts of this book. Professors A. Bahri and H. Brezis who suggested the publication of the book in the Birkhiiuser series.

Global Analysis of Minimal Surfaces
Author: Ulrich Dierkes
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642117066
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 547
Book Description
Many properties of minimal surfaces are of a global nature, and this is already true for the results treated in the first two volumes of the treatise. Part I of the present book can be viewed as an extension of these results. For instance, the first two chapters deal with existence, regularity and uniqueness theorems for minimal surfaces with partially free boundaries. Here one of the main features is the possibility of "edge-crawling" along free parts of the boundary. The third chapter deals with a priori estimates for minimal surfaces in higher dimensions and for minimizers of singular integrals related to the area functional. In particular, far reaching Bernstein theorems are derived. The second part of the book contains what one might justly call a "global theory of minimal surfaces" as envisioned by Smale. First, the Douglas problem is treated anew by using Teichmüller theory. Secondly, various index theorems for minimal theorems are derived, and their consequences for the space of solutions to Plateau ́s problem are discussed. Finally, a topological approach to minimal surfaces via Fredholm vector fields in the spirit of Smale is presented.

Differential Geometry and Global Analysis
Author: Bang-Yen Chen
Publisher: American Mathematical Society
ISBN: 1470460157
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on Differential Geometry and Global Analysis, Honoring the Memory of Tadashi Nagano (1930–2017), held January 16, 2020, in Denver, Colorado. Tadashi Nagano was one of the great Japanese differential geometers, whose fundamental and seminal work still attracts much interest today. This volume is inspired by his work and his legacy and, while recalling historical results, presents recent developments in the geometry of symmetric spaces as well as generalizations of symmetric spaces; minimal surfaces and minimal submanifolds; totally geodesic submanifolds and their classification; Riemannian, affine, projective, and conformal connections; the $(M_{+}, M_{-})$ method and its applications; and maximal antipodal subsets. Additionally, the volume features recent achievements related to biharmonic and biconservative hypersurfaces in space forms, the geometry of Laplace operator on Riemannian manifolds, and Chen-Ricci inequalities for Riemannian maps, among other topics that could attract the interest of any scholar working in differential geometry and global analysis on manifolds.
