An special feature of the book is the treatment in depth of the theory of spinors in all dimensions and signatures, which is the basis of all developments of supergeometry both in physics and mathematics, especially in quantum field theory and supergravity."--Jacket.
Euler Through Time
Author: V. S. VaradarajanPublisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 9780821835807
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Euler is one of the greatest and most prolific mathematicians of all time. He wrote the first accessible books on calculus, created the theory of circular functions, and discovered new areas of research such as elliptic integrals, the calculus of variations, graph theory, divergent series, and so on. It took hundreds of years for his successors to develop in full the theories he began, and some of his themes are still at the center of today's mathematics. It is of great interesttherefore to examine his work and its relation to current mathematics. This book attempts to do that. In number theory the discoveries he made empirically would require for their eventual understanding such sophisticated developments as the reciprocity laws and class field theory. His pioneering work onelliptic integrals is the precursor of the modern theory of abelian functions and abelian integrals. His evaluation of zeta and multizeta values is not only a fantastic and exciting story but very relevant to us, because they are at the confluence of much research in algebraic geometry and number theory today (Chapters 2 and 3 of the book). Anticipating his successors by more than a century, Euler created a theory of summation of series that do not converge in the traditional manner. Chapter 5of the book treats the progression of ideas regarding divergent series from Euler to many parts of modern analysis and quantum physics. The last chapter contains a brief treatment of Euler products. Euler discovered the product formula over the primes for the zeta function as well as for a smallnumber of what are now called Dirichlet $L$-functions. Here the book goes into the development of the theory of such Euler products and the role they play in number theory, thus offering the reader a glimpse of current developments (the Langlands program).
Elliptic Partial Differential Equations
Author: Qing HanPublisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821853139
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
This volume is based on PDE courses given by the authors at the Courant Institute and at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. Presented are basic methods for obtaining various a priori estimates for second-order equations of elliptic type with particular emphasis on maximal principles, Harnack inequalities, and their applications. The equations considered in the book are linear; however, the presented methods also apply to nonlinear problems.

An Introduction to Harmonic Analysis on Semisimple Lie Groups
Author: V. S. VaradarajanPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521663625
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
Now in paperback, this graduate-level textbook is an introduction to the representation theory of semi-simple Lie groups. As such, it will be suitable for research students in algebra and analysis, and for research mathematicians requiring a readable account of the topic. The author emphasizes the development of the central themes of the sunject in the context of special examples, without losing sight of its general flow and structure. The book concludes with appendices sketching some basic topics with a comprehensive guide to further reading.
Selected Papers of S. A. Amitsur with Commentary
Author: Shimshon A. AmitsurPublisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 9780821829240
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 626
Book Description
This handsomely-bound volume presents selected papers written by S.A. Amitsur on various topics in algebra. The approximately 50 papers in the first volume deal with general ring theory and rings satisfying a polynomial identity. A sampling of topics includes algebras over infinite fields, commutative linear differential operators, a generalization of Hilbert's Nullstellensatz, and central embeddings in semi-simple rings. Two essays on Amitsur's work and a biography also are included. The volume is not indexed. c. Book News Inc.
