Geometry and Dynamics in Gromov Hyperbolic Metric Spaces
Author: Tushar Das
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470434652
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
This book presents the foundations of the theory of groups and semigroups acting isometrically on Gromov hyperbolic metric spaces. Particular emphasis is paid to the geometry of their limit sets and on behavior not found in the proper setting. The authors provide a number of examples of groups which exhibit a wide range of phenomena not to be found in the finite-dimensional theory. The book contains both introductory material to help beginners as well as new research results, and closes with a list of attractive unsolved problems.

Geometry, Rigidity, and Group Actions
Author: Robert J. Zimmer
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226237893
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 659
Book Description
The study of group actions is more than 100 years old but remains a widely studied topic in a variety of mathematic fields. A central development in the last 50 years is the phenomenon of rigidity, whereby one can classify actions of certain groups. This book looks at rigidity.

Dynamics, Geometry, Number Theory
Author: David Fisher
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022680402X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 573
Book Description
"Mathematicians David Fisher, Dmitry Kleinbock, and Gregory Soifer highlight in this edited collection the foundations and evolution of research by mathematician Gregory Margulis. Margulis is unusual in the degree to which his solutions to particular problems have opened new vistas of mathematics. Margulis' ideas were central, for example, to developments that led to the recent Fields Medals of Elon Lindenstrauss and Maryam Mirzhakhani. The broad goal of this volume is to introduce these areas, their development, their use in current research, and the connections between them. The foremost experts on the topic have written each of the chapters in this volume with a view to making them accessible by graduate students and by experts in other parts of mathematics"--

Foliations and the Geometry of 3-Manifolds
Author: Danny Calegari
Publisher: Oxford University Press on Demand
ISBN: 0198570082
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
This unique reference, aimed at research topologists, gives an exposition of the 'pseudo-Anosov' theory of foliations of 3-manifolds. This theory generalizes Thurston's theory of surface automorphisms and reveals an intimate connection between dynamics, geometry and topology in 3 dimensions. Significant themes returned to throughout the text include the importance of geometry, especially the hyperbolic geometry of surfaces, the importance of monotonicity, especially in1-dimensional and co-dimensional dynamics, and combinatorial approximation, using finite combinatorical objects such as train-tracks, branched surfaces and hierarchies to carry more complicated continuous objects.

Geometry Of Time-spaces: Non-commutative Algebraic Geometry, Applied To Quantum Theory
Author: Olav Arnfinn Laudal
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814460702
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
This is a monograph about non-commutative algebraic geometry, and its application to physics. The main mathematical inputs are the non-commutative deformation theory, moduli theory of representations of associative algebras, a new non-commutative theory of phase spaces, and its canonical Dirac derivation. The book starts with a new definition of time, relative to which the set of mathematical velocities form a compact set, implying special and general relativity. With this model in mind, a general Quantum Theory is developed and shown to fit with the classical theory. In particular the “toy”-model used as example, contains, as part of the structure, the classical gauge groups u(1), su(2) and su(3), and therefore also the theory of spin and quarks, etc.
