Springer Nature Switzerland AG Hamilton’s Principle in Continuum Mechanics
Book SynopsisThis revised, updated edition provides a comprehensive and rigorous description of the application of Hamilton’s principle to continuous media. To introduce terminology and initial concepts, it begins with what is called the first problem of the calculus of variations. For both historical and pedagogical reasons, it first discusses the application of the principle to systems of particles, including conservative and non-conservative systems and systems with constraints. The foundations of mechanics of continua are introduced in the context of inner product spaces. With this basis, the application of Hamilton’s principle to the classical theories of fluid and solid mechanics are covered. Then recent developments are described, including materials with microstructure, mixtures, and continua with singular surfaces.Table of ContentsMechanics of Systems of Particles .- Mathematical Preliminaries.- Mechanics of Continuous Media.- Motions and Comparison Motions of a Mixture.- Singular Surfaces.- Index.

Springer International Publishing AG Abstract Algebra and Famous Impossibilities: Squaring the Circle, Doubling the Cube, Trisecting an Angle, and Solving Quintic Equations
Book SynopsisThis textbook develops the abstract algebra necessary to prove the impossibility of four famous mathematical feats: squaring the circle, trisecting the angle, doubling the cube, and solving quintic equations. All the relevant concepts about fields are introduced concretely, with the geometrical questions providing motivation for the algebraic concepts. By focusing on problems that are as easy to approach as they were fiendishly difficult to resolve, the authors provide a uniquely accessible introduction to the power of abstraction. Beginning with a brief account of the history of these fabled problems, the book goes on to present the theory of fields, polynomials, field extensions, and irreducible polynomials. Straightedge and compass constructions establish the standards for constructability, and offer a glimpse into why squaring, doubling, and trisecting appeared so tractable to professional and amateur mathematicians alike. However, the connection between geometry and algebra allows the reader to bypass two millennia of failed geometric attempts, arriving at the elegant algebraic conclusion that such constructions are impossible. From here, focus turns to a challenging problem within algebra itself: finding a general formula for solving a quintic polynomial. The proof of the impossibility of this task is presented using Abel’s original approach. Abstract Algebra and Famous Impossibilities illustrates the enormous power of algebraic abstraction by exploring several notable historical triumphs. This new edition adds the fourth impossibility: solving general quintic equations. Students and instructors alike will appreciate the illuminating examples, conversational commentary, and engaging exercises that accompany each section. A first course in linear algebra is assumed, along with a basic familiarity with integral calculus.Table of Contents1. Algebraic Preliminaries.- 2. Algebraic Numbers and Their Polynomials.- 3.

Springer International Publishing AG Algebra: Chapter 8
Book SynopsisThis book is an English translation of an entirely revised version of the 1958 edition of the eighth chapter of the book Algebra, the second Book of the Elements of Mathematics.It is devoted to the study of certain classes of rings and of modules, in particular to the notions of Noetherian or Artinian modules and rings, as well as that of radical.This chapter studies Morita equivalence of module and algebras, it describes the structure of semisimple rings. Various Grothendieck groups are defined that play a universal role for module invariants.The chapter also presents two particular cases of algebras over a field. The theory of central simple algebras is discussed in detail; their classification involves the Brauer group, of which severaldescriptions are given. Finally, the chapter considers group algebras and applies the general theory to representations of finite groups.At the end of the volume, a historical note taken from the previous edition recounts the evolution of many of the developed notions.Table of ContentsArtinian Modules and Noetherian Modules.- The Structure of Modules of Finite Length.- Simple Modules.- Semisimple Modules.- Commutation.- Morita Equivalence of Modules and Algebras.- Simple Rings.- Semisimple Rings.- Radical.- Modules over an Artinian Ring.- Grothendieck Groups.- Tensor Products of Semisimple Modules.- Absolutely Semisimple Algebras.- Central Simple Algebras.- Brauer Groups.- Other Descriptions of the Brauer Group.- Reduced Norms and Traces.- Simple Algebras over a Finite Field.- Quaternion Algebras.- Linear Representations of Algebras.- Linear Representations of Finite Groups.- Algebras without Unit Element.- Determinants over a Noncommunitative Field.- Hilbert's Nullstellensatz.- Trace of an Endomorphism of Finite Rank.- Historical Note.- Bibliography.- Notation Index.- Terminology Index.

Birkhauser Verlag AG Coherent Sheaves, Superconnections, and
Book SynopsisThis monograph addresses two significant related questions in complex geometry: the construction of a Chern character on the Grothendieck group of coherent sheaves of a compact complex manifold with values in its Bott-Chern cohomology, and the proof of a corresponding Riemann-Roch-Grothendieck theorem. One main tool used is the equivalence of categories established by Block between the derived category of bounded complexes with coherent cohomology and the homotopy category of antiholomorphic superconnections. Chern-Weil theoretic techniques are then used to construct forms that represent the Chern character. The main theorem is then established using methods of analysis, by combining local index theory with the hypoelliptic Laplacian.Coherent Sheaves, Superconnections, and Riemann-Roch-Grothendieck is an important contribution to both the geometric and analytic study of complex manifolds and, as such, it will be a valuable resource for many researchers in geometry, analysis, and mathematical physics.

Birkhauser Verlag AG Semi-Infinite Algebraic Geometry of
Book SynopsisSemi-Infinite Geometry is a theory of "doubly infinite-dimensional" geometric or topological objects. In this book the author explains what should be meant by an algebraic variety of semi-infinite nature. Then he applies the framework of semiderived categories, suggested in his previous monograph titled Homological Algebra of Semimodules and Semicontramodules, (Birkhäuser, 2010), to the study of semi-infinite algebraic varieties. Quasi-coherent torsion sheaves and flat pro-quasi-coherent pro-sheaves on ind-schemes are discussed at length in this book, making it suitable for use as an introduction to the theory of quasi-coherent sheaves on ind-schemes. The main output of the homological theory developed in this monograph is the functor of semitensor product on the semiderived category of quasi-coherent torsion sheaves, endowing the semiderived category with the structure of a tensor triangulated category. The author offers two equivalent constructions of the semitensor product, as well as its particular case, the cotensor product, and shows that they enjoy good invariance properties. Several geometric examples are discussed in detail in the book, including the cotangent bundle to an infinite-dimensional projective space, the universal fibration of quadratic cones, and the important popular example of the loop group of an affine algebraic group.Table of Contents- 1. Ind-Schemes and Their Morphisms. - 2. Quasi-Coherent Torsion Sheaves. - 3. Flat Pro-Quasi-Coherent Pro-Sheaves. - 4. Dualizing Complexes on Ind-Noetherian Ind-Schemes. - 5. The Cotensor Product. - 6.

Birkhauser Verlag AG Representations of Finite Groups: Local
Book SynopsisThe seminar focuses on a recent solution, by the authors, of a long standing problem concerning the stable module category (of not necessarily finite dimensional representations) of a finite group. The proof draws on ideas from commutative algebra, cohomology of groups, and stable homotopy theory. The unifying theme is a notion of support which provides a geometric approach for studying various algebraic structures. The prototype for this has been Daniel Quillen’s description of the algebraic variety corresponding to the cohomology ring of a finite group, based on which Jon Carlson introduced support varieties for modular representations. This has made it possible to apply methods of algebraic geometry to obtain representation theoretic information. Their work has inspired the development of analogous theories in various contexts, notably modules over commutative complete intersection rings and over cocommutative Hopf algebras. One of the threads in this development has been the classification of thick or localizing subcategories of various triangulated categories of representations. This story started with Mike Hopkins’ classification of thick subcategories of the perfect complexes over a commutative Noetherian ring, followed by a classification of localizing subcategories of its full derived category, due to Amnon Neeman. The authors have been developing an approach to address such classification problems, based on a construction of local cohomology functors and support for triangulated categories with ring of operators. The book serves as an introduction to this circle of ideas.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“The book is aimed at a readership with a solid background in algebra, in particular representation theory, commutative algebra and homological algebra. The volume comprises five chapters and an appendix, and each chapter is divided into four sections. Each chapter consists of the lecture material and the exercises handled during one day at the Oberwolfach Seminar (in 2010) with the same title. … The book ends with an appendix … and there is a comprehensive bibliography.” (Nadia P. Mazza, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2013)“The manuscript under review provides a quite nice introduction to the tools used in these classification theorems and offers an excellent starting point for someone new to the area. The manuscript is based on a week-long series of lectures given by the authors to introduce people to the ideas involved in the proof of the classification of localising subcategories of Mod(kG).” (Christopher P.

Birkhauser Verlag AG Arithmetic Geometry over Global Function Fields
Book SynopsisThis volume collects the texts of five courses given in the Arithmetic Geometry Research Programme 2009-2010 at the CRM Barcelona. All of them deal with characteristic p global fields; the common theme around which they are centered is the arithmetic of L-functions (and other special functions), investigated in various aspects. Three courses examine some of the most important recent ideas in the positive characteristic theory discovered by Goss (a field in tumultuous development, which is seeing a number of spectacular advances): they cover respectively crystals over function fields (with a number of applications to L-functions of t-motives), gamma and zeta functions in characteristic p, and the binomial theorem. The other two are focused on topics closer to the classical theory of abelian varieties over number fields: they give respectively a thorough introduction to the arithmetic of Jacobians over function fields (including the current status of the BSD conjecture and its geometric analogues, and the construction of Mordell-Weil groups of high rank) and a state of the art survey of Geometric Iwasawa Theory explaining the recent proofs of various versions of the Main Conjecture, in the commutative and non-commutative settings.Table of ContentsCohomological Theory of Crystals over Function Fields and Applications.- On Geometric Iwasawa Theory and Special Values of Zeta Functions.- The Ongoing Binomial Revolution.- Arithmetic of Gamma, Zeta and Multizeta Values for Function Fields.- Curves and Jacobians over Function Fields.

Springer International Publishing AG Quantum Theory, Groups and Representations: An Introduction
Book SynopsisThis text systematically presents the basics of quantum mechanics, emphasizing the role of Lie groups, Lie algebras, and their unitary representations. The mathematical structure of the subject is brought to the fore, intentionally avoiding significant overlap with material from standard physics courses in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. The level of presentation is attractive to mathematics students looking to learn about both quantum mechanics and representation theory, while also appealing to physics students who would like to know more about the mathematics underlying the subject. This text showcases the numerous differences between typical mathematical and physical treatments of the subject. The latter portions of the book focus on central mathematical objects that occur in the Standard Model of particle physics, underlining the deep and intimate connections between mathematics and the physical world. While an elementary physics course of some kind would be helpful to the reader, no specific background in physics is assumed, making this book accessible to students with a grounding in multivariable calculus and linear algebra. Many exercises are provided to develop the reader's understanding of and facility in quantum-theoretical concepts and calculations.Trade Review“The book presents a large variety of important subjects, including the basic principles of quantum mechanics … .

Springer International Publishing AG The Stair-Step Approach in Mathematics
Book SynopsisThis book is intended as a teacher’s manual and as an independent-study handbook for students and mathematical competitors. Based on a traditional teaching philosophy and a non-traditional writing approach (the stair-step method), this book consists of new problems with solutions created by the authors. The main idea of this approach is to start from relatively easy problems and “step-by-step” increase the level of difficulty toward effectively maximizing students' learning potential. In addition to providing solutions, a separate table of answers is also given at the end of the book. A broad view of mathematics is covered, well beyond the typical elementary level, by providing more in depth treatment of Geometry and Trigonometry, Number Theory, Algebra, Calculus, and Combinatorics.Trade Review“This book is original, enticing, and highly stimulating, and it is a useful addition to the competition-oriented literature.” (Stephen Rout, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 104 (560), July, 2020)Table of ContentsGeometry and Trigonometry.- Number Theory.- Algebra.- Calculus.- Combinatorics.- Hints.- Solutions.- Answers.

Springer International Publishing AG Multiscale Forecasting Models
Book Synopsis This book presents two new decomposition methods to decompose a time series in intrinsic components of low and high frequencies. The methods are based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) of a Hankel matrix (HSVD). The proposed decomposition is used to improve the accuracy of linear and nonlinear auto-regressive models. Linear Auto-regressive models (AR, ARMA and ARIMA) and Auto-regressive Neural Networks (ANNs) have been found insufficient because of the highly complicated nature of some time series. Hybrid models are a recent solution to deal with non-stationary processes which combine pre-processing techniques with conventional forecasters, some pre-processing techniques broadly implemented are Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) and Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT). Although the flexibility of SSA and SWT allows their usage in a wide range of forecast problems, there is a lack of standard methods to select their parameters. The proposed decomposition HSVD and Multilevel SVD are described in detail through time series coming from the transport and fishery sectors. Further, for comparison purposes, it is evaluated the forecast accuracy reached by SSA and SWT, both jointly with AR-based models and ANNs. Table of ContentsPreface 1.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Improved Bonferroni Inequalities via Abstract
Book SynopsisThis introduction to the recent theory of abstract tubes describes the framework for establishing improved inclusion-exclusion identities and Bonferroni inequalities, which are provably at least as sharp as their classical counterparts while involving fewer terms. All necessary definitions from graph theory, lattice theory and topology are provided. The role of closure and kernel operators is emphasized, and examples are provided throughout to demonstrate the applicability of this new theory. Applications are given to system and network reliability, reliability covering problems and chromatic graph theory. Topics also covered include Zeilberger's abstract lace expansion, matroid polynomials and Möbius functions.Table of Contents1. Introduction and Overview.- 2.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Algebraic Operads
Book SynopsisIn many areas of mathematics some “higher operations” are arising. These havebecome so important that several research projects refer to such expressions. Higher operationsform new types of algebras. The key to understanding and comparing them, to creating invariants of their action is operad theory. This is a point of view that is 40 years old in algebraic topology, but the new trend is its appearance in several other areas, such as algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, differential geometry, and combinatorics. The present volume is the first comprehensive and systematic approach to algebraic operads. An operad is an algebraic device that serves to study all kinds of algebras (associative, commutative, Lie, Poisson, A-infinity, etc.) from a conceptual point of view. The book presents this topic with an emphasis on Koszul duality theory. After a modern treatment of Koszul duality for associative algebras, the theory is extended to operads. Applications to homotopy algebra are given, for instance the Homotopy Transfer Theorem. Although the necessary notions of algebra are recalled, readers are expected to be familiar with elementary homological algebra. Each chapter ends with a helpful summary and exercises. A full chapter is devoted to examples, and numerous figures are included. After a low-level chapter on Algebra, accessible to (advanced) undergraduate students, the level increases gradually through the book. However, the authors have done their best to make it suitable for graduate students: three appendices review the basic results needed in order to understand the various chapters. Since higher algebra is becoming essential in several research areas like deformation theory, algebraic geometry, representation theory, differential geometry, algebraic combinatorics, and mathematical physics, the book can also be used as a reference work by researchers.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“It is a welcome addition to the existing literature and will, no doubt, become a standard reference for many authors working in this quickly developing field. … it is an impressive piece of work, which gives a comprehensive account of the foundations of the theory of algebraic operads, starting from the most basic notions, such as associative algebras and modules. It will be of interest to a broad swath of mathematicians: from undergraduate students to experts in the field.” (Andrey Yu.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Primzahltests für Einsteiger: Zahlentheorie –
Book SynopsisIn diesem Buch geht es um den AKS-Algorithmus, den ersten deterministischen Primzahltest mit polynomieller Laufzeit. Er wurde benannt nach den Informatikern Agrawal, Kayal und Saxena, die ihn 2002 entwickelt haben. Primzahlen sind Gegenstand vieler mathematischer Probleme und spielen im Zusammenhang mit Verschlüsselungsmethoden eine wichtige Rolle. Das vorliegende Buch leitet den AKS-ALgorithmus in verständlicher Art und Weise her, ohne wesentliche Vorkenntnisse zu benötigen, und ist daher bereits für interessierte Gymnasialschüler(innen) zugänglich. Außerdem eignet sich das Buch von Studienbeginn an für Lehrveranstaltungen im Mathematik- oder Informatikstudium. Es kann schon in den ersten Semestern als Grundlage für zweistündige Vorlesungen oder (Pro-)Seminare dienen, ohne auf andere Lehrveranstaltungen (wie z. B. Zahlentheorie) zurückzugreifen, und ist daher im Bachelor- und Lehramtsstudium gut einsetzbar. Es gibt viele Aufgaben und weiterführende Anmerkungen sowie Lösungshinweise am Ende des Buches. Table of ContentsNatürliche Zahlen und Primzahlen.- Algorithmen und Komplexität.- Zahlentheoretische Grundlagen.- Primzahlen und Kryptographie.- Der Ausgangspunkt: Fermat für Polynome.- Der Satz von Agrawal, Kayal und Saxena.- Der Algorithmus.- Offene Fragen über Primzahlen.- Lösungen und Hinweise zu wichtigen Aufgaben.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Endliche Permutationsgruppen
Book SynopsisDieses Buch über Permutationsgruppen bietet neben modernen Beweisen klassischer Ergebnisse, die bislang nicht in Buchform erschienen sind, einen Zugang zur Klassifikation der primitiven Gruppen. Symmetriebetrachtungen von geometrischen Objekten spielen in vielen Naturwissenschaften eine bedeutende Rolle und lassen sich mathematisch durch Permutationsgruppen modellieren. Nachdem wir in diesem Buch eine beliebige Permutationsgruppe in ihre primitiven Bestandteile zerlegt haben, beweisen wir den wichtigen Klassifikationssatz von Aschbacher-O'Nan-Scott, wonach jede primitive Gruppe zu genau einer von fünf Familien gehört. Dieses Resultat erlaubt es zum Beispiel die 2-transitiven Gruppen explizit anzugeben, sodass wir uns im Folgenden auf die primitiven Gruppen, die nicht 2-transitiv sind, konzentrieren können. Die hierfür entwickelte Theorie der Subgrade ermöglicht uns als Anwendung einen Spezialfall des Satzes von Feit-Thompson zu beweisen. Neben zahlreichen Informationen über aktuelle Entwicklungen stehen dem Studierenden über 100 Übungsaufgaben mit vollständigen Lösungen zur Selbstkontrolle zur Verfügung. Vorausgesetzt werden lediglich Kenntnisse einer Algebra-Vorlesung, wobei wir die Grundlagen der elementaren Gruppentheorie im ersten Kapitel wiederholen. Abgerundet wird das Werk durch einen Anhang mit alternativen Beweisen und Quellcodes für die Computeralgebrasysteme GAP und MAGMA.Table of ContentsGrundlagen.- Operationen auf Mengen.- Abelsche Normalteiler in primitiven Gruppen.- Mehrfach transitive Gruppen.- Konstruktion primitiver Gruppen mit vorgegebenem Sockel.- Klassifikation der primitiven Gruppen.- p-Elemente in primitiven Gruppen.- Transitive Gruppen mit Primzahlgrad.- Subgrade.- Operationen auf Gruppen.- Gruppen ungerader Ordnung.- Rubiks Zauberwürfel.- Anhang.- Lösungen der Aufgaben.

Sie zeigt anschaulich, dass Brüche als Anteile eines Ganzen verstanden werden können, aber auch als Verhältnisse von zwei Größen. Die Autorin zeigt verständlich auf, warum Wurzeln nicht exakt durch Brüche angegeben werden können, wie man gute Näherungen findet und warum eine ungewöhnliche Bruchaddition zu paradoxen Ergebnissen führen kann. Weiterhin erläutert sie praxisnah die Anwendung von Brüchen beim Prozentrechnen und in der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung und geht schließlich auf verschiedene Möglichkeiten ein, Mittelwerte zu bilden.Table of ContentsWas sind (gewöhnliche) Brüche?.- Brüche als Verhältnisse.- Irrationale Zahlen.- Bedingte Wahrscheinlichkeiten.
