This volume contains papers taken from the third conference held at Harvard University on differential geometry. It includes discussion of local index theory eta invariants, embedded surfaces and gauge theory in three and four dimensions, and Thurston's hyperbolization of Haken manifolds.
Embedded systems are characterized by the presence of processors running application-specific software. Recent years have seen a large growth of such systems, and this trend is projected to continue with the growth of systems on a chip. Many of these systems have strict performance and cost requirements. To design these systems, sophisticated ...
A survey of mathematical developments during 1998. Topics covered include mirror principle, symplectic topology, o-minimal structures, and asymptotic solutions to dynamics of many-body systems and classical continuum equations.
This book presents surveys from a workshop held during the theme year in geometry and topology at the Centre de recherches mathematiques (CRM, University of Montreal). The volume is in some sense a sequel to "Mirror Symmetry I" (1998) and "Mirror Symmetry II" (1996), copublished by the AMS and International Press. Included are recent developments ...
This volume presents lectures delivered at a workshop held at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Bejing). The following articles are included: "Nonlinear Systems Control" by R. Brockett, "Adaptive Control of Discrete-Time Nonlinear Systems with Structural Uncertainties" by L.-L. Xie and L. Guo, "Networks and Learning" by P. R. Kumar, "Mathematical ...
In the summer of 1990, S.Y. Cheng and S.-T. Yau organized a conference in honour of their professor S.S. Chern on the occasion of his 79th birthday. This volume contains personal reminiscences from some of his friends and students. The lectures reflect his wisdom and warmth toward young geometers.
This is the fifth volume in a series providing surveys of differential geometry. It addresses: K3 surfaces and strong duality; symplectic geometry and Velinde formulas; counting curves on irrational surfaces; differential equations from mirror symmetry; and more.
In 1992, many scientists gathered to honour C.N. Yang on his 70th birthday. This volume documents the scientific contributions resulting from that conference, and features several biographical and historical contributions that discuss the impact that C.N. Yang has had on research.
Focuses on the cooperation between Hong Kong and Japanese cinema from the Sino-Japanese War, which broke out in the 1930s, up until the early 1970s, to re-evaluate the significance of this event in the context of Asian film history.
If $G$ is a finite subgroup of $G\!L(3,{\mathbb C})$, then $G$ acts on ${\mathbb C}^3$, and it is known that ${\mathbb C}^3/G$ is Gorenstein if and only if $G$ is a subgroup of $S\!L(3,{\mathbb C})$. In this work, the authors begin with a classification of finite subgroups of $S\!L(3,{\mathbb C})$, including two types, (J) and (K), which have ...
This volume is an updated edition of "Essays on Mirror Manifolds", the first book of papers published after the phenomenon of mirror symmetry was discovered. The two major groups who made the discovery reported their papers here. Greene, Plesser and Candelas gave details on their findings; Witten gave his interpretation which was vital for future ...
Index Theory is one of the most exciting and consequential accomplishments of twentieth-century mathematics. "The Founders of Index Theory" contemplates the four great mathematicians who developed index theory - Sir Michael Atiyah, Raoul Bott, Friedrich Hirzebruch, and I.M. Singer - through the eyes of their students, collaborators and colleagues, ...
