This monograph gives an overview of various classes of infinite-dimensional Lie groups and their applications in Hamiltonian mechanics, fluid dynamics, integrable systems, gauge theory, and complex geometry. While infinite-dimensional groups often exhibit very peculiar features, this book describes unifying geometric ideas of the theory and gives ...
The text describes a system developed for the processing and interpretation of geophysical fields under conditions of uneven relief, variable geological medium, arbitrary magnetization (polarization) and an unknown level of the normal field. The following procedures are developed and elaborated: methods of terrain correction and use of terrain ...
Topological hydrodynamics is a young branch of mathematics studying topological features of flows with complicated trajectories, as well as their applications to fluid motions. It is situated at the crossroad of hyrdodynamical stability theory, Riemannian and symplectic geometry, magnetohydrodynamics, theory of Lie algebras and Lie groups, knot ...
Helmholtz's seminal paper on vortex motion (1858) marks the beginning of what is now called topological fluid mechanics. After 150 years of work, the field has grown considerably. In the last several decades unexpected developments have given topological fluid mechanics new impetus, benefiting from the impressive progress in knot theory and ...
Vladimir Arnold is one of the great mathematical scientists of our time. He is famous for both the breadth and the depth of his work. At the same time he is one of the most prolific and outstanding mathematical authors. This first volume of his "Collected Works" focuses on representations of functions, celestial mechanics, and KAM theory.
