  • Arithmetic Geometry over Global Function Fields

    Birkhauser Verlag AG Arithmetic Geometry over Global Function Fields

    3 in stock

    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.

    Birkhauser Verlag AG Brauer Groups and Obstruction Problems: Moduli

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe contributions in this book explore various contexts in which the derived category of coherent sheaves on a variety determines some of its arithmetic. This setting provides new geometric tools for interpreting elements of the Brauer group. With a view towards future arithmetic applications, the book extends a number of powerful tools for analyzing rational points on elliptic curves, e.g., isogenies among curves, torsion points, modular curves, and the resulting descent techniques, as well as higher-dimensional varieties like K3 surfaces. Inspired by the rapid recent advances in our understanding of K3 surfaces, the book is intended to foster cross-pollination between the fields of complex algebraic geometry and number theory.Contributors:· Nicolas Addington · Benjamin Antieau · Kenneth Ascher · Asher Auel · Fedor Bogomolov · Jean-Louis Colliot-Thélène · Krishna Dasaratha · Brendan Hassett · Colin Ingalls · Martí Lahoz · Emanuele Macrì · Kelly McKinnie · Andrew Obus · Ekin Ozman · Raman Parimala · Alexander Perry · Alena Pirutka · Justin Sawon · Alexei N.

    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.

  • Birkhauser Verlag AG Methods of Solving Number Theory Problems

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThrough its engaging and unusual problems, this book demonstrates methods of reasoning necessary for learning number theory. Every technique is followed by problems (as well as detailed hints and solutions) that apply theorems immediately, so readers can solve a variety of abstract problems in a systematic, creative manner. New solutions often require the ingenious use of earlier mathematical concepts - not the memorization of formulas and facts. Questions also often permit experimental numeric validation or visual interpretation to encourage the combined use of deductive and intuitive thinking. The first chapter starts with simple topics like even and odd numbers, divisibility, and prime numbers and helps the reader to solve quite complex, Olympiad-type problems right away. It also covers properties of the perfect, amicable, and figurate numbers and introduces congruence. The next chapter begins with the Euclidean algorithm, explores the representations of integer numbers in different bases, and examines continued fractions, quadratic irrationalities, and the Lagrange Theorem. The last section of Chapter Two is an exploration of different methods of proofs. The third chapter is dedicated to solving Diophantine linear and nonlinear equations and includes different methods of solving Fermat’s (Pell’s) equations. It also covers Fermat’s factorization techniques and methods of solving challenging problems involving exponent and factorials. Chapter Four reviews the Pythagorean triple and quadruple and emphasizes their connection with geometry, trigonometry, algebraic geometry, and stereographic projection. A special case of Waring’s problem as a representation of a number by the sum of the squares or cubes of other numbers is covered, as well as quadratic residuals, Legendre and Jacobi symbols, and interesting word problems related to the properties of numbers. Appendices provide a historic overview of number theory and its main developments from the ancient cultures in Greece, Babylon, and Egypt to the modern day. Drawing from cases collected by an accomplished female mathematician, Methods in Solving Number Theory Problems is designed as a self-study guide or supplementary textbook for a one-semester course in introductory number theory. It can also be used to prepare for mathematical Olympiads. Elementary algebra, arithmetic and some calculus knowledge are the only prerequisites. Number theory gives precise proofs and theorems of an irreproachable rigor and sharpens analytical thinking, which makes this book perfect for anyone looking to build their mathematical confidence.Table of ContentsPreface.- Numbers: Problems Involving Integers.- Further Study of Integers.- Diophantine Equations and More.- Pythagorean Triples, Additive Problems, and More.- Homework.

  • The Classical Groups and K-Theory

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisIt is a great satisfaction for a mathematician to witness the growth and expansion of a theory in which he has taken some part during its early years. When H. Weyl coined the words "classical groups", foremost in his mind were their connections with invariant theory, which his famous book helped to revive. Although his approach in that book was deliberately algebraic, his interest in these groups directly derived from his pioneering study of the special case in which the scalars are real or complex numbers, where for the first time he injected Topology into Lie theory. But ever since the definition of Lie groups, the analogy between simple classical groups over finite fields and simple classical groups over IR or C had been observed, even if the concept of "simplicity" was not quite the same in both cases. With the discovery of the exceptional simple complex Lie algebras by Killing and E. Cartan, it was natural to look for corresponding groups over finite fields, and already around 1900 this was done by Dickson for the exceptional Lie algebras G and E • However, a deep reason for this 2 6 parallelism was missing, and it is only Chevalley who, in 1955 and 1961, discovered that to each complex simple Lie algebra corresponds, by a uniform process, a group scheme (fj over the ring Z of integers, from which, for any field K, could be derived a group (fj(K).Table of ContentsNotation and Conventions.- 1.

  • Extremal Combinatorics: With Applications in

    Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Extremal Combinatorics: With Applications in

    3 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book is a concise, self-contained, up-to-date introduction to extremal combinatorics for nonspecialists. There is a strong emphasis on theorems with particularly elegant and informative proofs, they may be called gems of the theory. The author presents a wide spectrum of the most powerful combinatorial tools together with impressive applications in computer science: methods of extremal set theory, the linear algebra method, the probabilistic method, and fragments of Ramsey theory. No special knowledge in combinatorics or computer science is assumed – the text is self-contained and the proofs can be enjoyed by undergraduate students in mathematics and computer science. Over 300 exercises of varying difficulty, and hints to their solution, complete the text.This second edition has been extended with substantial new material, and has been revised and updated throughout. It offers three new chapters on expander graphs and eigenvalues, the polynomial method and error-correcting codes. Most of the remaining chapters also include new material, such as the Kruskal—Katona theorem on shadows, the Lovász—Stein theorem on coverings, large cliques in dense graphs without induced 4-cycles, a new lower bounds argument for monotone formulas, Dvir's solution of the finite field Kakeya conjecture, Moser's algorithmic version of the Lovász Local Lemma, Schöning's algorithm for 3-SAT, the Szemerédi—Trotter theorem on the number of point-line incidences, surprising applications of expander graphs in extremal number theory, and some other new results.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews of the second edition:“This is an entertaining and impressive book. I say impressive because the author managed to cover a very large part of combinatorics in 27 short chapters, without assuming any graduate-level knowledge of the material. … The collection of topics covered is another big advantage of the book. … The book is ideal as reference material or for a reading course for a dedicated graduate student. One could teach a very enjoyable class from it as well … .” (Miklós Bóna, The Mathematical Association of America, May, 2012)"[R]eaders interested in any branch of combinatorics will find this book compelling. ... This book is very suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate mathematics and computer science majors. It requires a very solid grounding in intermediate-level combinatorics and an appreciation for several proof methods, but it is well worth the study." (G.M. White, ACM Computing Reviews, May 2012)“This is the second edition of a well-received textbook. It has been extended with new and updated results. Typographical errors in the first edition are corrected. … This textbook is suitable for advanced undergraduate or graduate students as well as researchers working in discrete mathematics or theoretical computer science. The author’s enthusiasm for the subject is evident and his writing is clear and smooth. This is a book deserving recommendation.” (Ko-Wei Lih, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1239, 2012)“This is an introductory book that deals with the subject of extremal combinatorics. … The book is nicely written and the author has included many elegant and beautiful proofs. The book contains many interesting exercises that will stimulate the motivated reader to get a better understanding of this area. … author’s goal of writing a self-contained book that is more or less up to date … and that is accessible to graduate and motivated undergraduate students in mathematics and computer science, has been successfully achieved.” (Sebastian M.

  • Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Rational Points and Arithmetic of Fundamental Groups: Evidence for the Section Conjecture

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe section conjecture in anabelian geometry, announced by Grothendieck in 1983, is concerned with a description of the set of rational points of a hyperbolic algebraic curve over a number field in terms of the arithmetic of its fundamental group. While the conjecture is still open today in 2012, its study has revealed interesting arithmetic for curves and opened connections, for example, to the question whether the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only one against rational points on curves. This monograph begins by laying the foundations for the space of sections of the fundamental group extension of an algebraic variety. Then, arithmetic assumptions on the base field are imposed and the local-to-global approach is studied in detail. The monograph concludes by discussing analogues of the section conjecture created by varying the base field or the type of variety, or by using a characteristic quotient or its birational analogue in lieu of the fundamental group extension.Trade ReviewFrom the book reviews:“The book under review, resulting from the author’s dissertation … is both a research monograph and a thorough presentation of the arithmetic and geometry of Grothendieck’s section conjecture from the foundations to the current state of the art. … It will be useful not only to specialists, as it is accessible to anyone familiar with the basics of modern algebraic geometry and the theory of algebraic fundamental groups.” (Marco A.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisSpaß an der Mathematik haben? Ja, das geht wirklich, wie dieses Buch zeigt! Es erzählt wie ein Roman eine „mathematische Geschichte“. Man könnte behaupten, diese recht verworrene Geschichte drehe sich um eine umständliche Entwicklung einer Formel, mit deren Hilfe man die Kreiszahl Pi berechnen kann. Aber eigentlich geht es um etwas ganz anderes: Das Buch nimmt den Leser an der Hand, fordert ihn aber durch eingestreute Fragen immer wieder zum Innehalten und Mitdenken auf. Dank der behutsamen Heranführung an die Themen können diese Fragen von jedem, der die Herausforderung annimmt, mit Schulkenntnissen gemeistert werden. Man bekommt so einen Einblick in „echte“ Mathematik zwischen Geometrie, Algebra, Analysis und Zahlentheorie. Man sieht, wie man an mathematische Fragestellungen herangehen kann. Und man erfährt, warum Mathematik früher ganz anders als heute war und wie sie sich erst mühsam entwickeln musste. Anekdoten über die Menschen hinter der Mathematik gibt's auch, denn der Autor plaudert gerne, philosophiert auch ab und zu und liebt Abschweifungen. Und das Schönste ist: Am Ende wartet keine Prüfung – der Leser kann sich einfach auf die Freude am Forschen und Verstehen einlassen.Table of ContentsAb in den Dschungel.- Nicht von Pythagoras .- Was beweisen Beweise?.- Die Kreativen.- Menschenwerk.- Nichts.- Die Diva.- Gibt es Pi überhaupt?.- Der Plan.- Millimeterpapier.- Die Atome der Mathematik.- Der Gott aus der Maschine.- Reste.- Der Amateur und die Windmühlen.- Die Badeanstalt.- Der erste Algorithmus.- Komplexes Intermezzo.- Außerirdische Mathematik.- Einfaches Sudoku.- Der letzte Brief.- Der schmale Rand.- Einfach die Regeln ändern.- Fünfzehntausend Seiten.- Endlich Punkte zählen!.- Dominoeffekte.- Noch eine Hypothese.- Von Fröschen und Mäusen.- Butterkeks.- Offenes Ende.- Epilog.- Anmerkungen.- Inhalt.- Index.

  • On Some Applications of Diophantine

    Birkhauser Verlag AG On Some Applications of Diophantine

    5 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book consists mainly of the translation, by C. Fuchs, of the 1929 landmark paper "Über einige Anwendungen diophantischer Approximationen" by C.L. Siegel. The paper contains proofs of most important results in transcendence theory and diophantine analysis, notably Siegel’s celebrated theorem on integral points on algebraic curves. Many modern versions of Siegel’s proof have appeared, but none seem to faithfully reproduce all features of the original one. This translation makes Siegel’s original ideas and proofs available for the first time in English. The volume also contains the original version of the paper (in German) and an article by the translator and U. Zannier, commenting on some aspects of the evolution of this field following Siegel’s paper. To end, it presents three modern proofs of Siegel’s theorem on integral points.Trade Review“This book contains both Siegel’s original paper in German and an English translation. … this is a fundamental paper, well worth reading. … It will be of great interest to mathematicians working in transcendence theory and Diophantine approximation, and to anyone interested in the history of mathematics in the early 20th century.” (Fernando Q.

  • Hindustan Book Agency Introduction to the Theory of Standard Monomials

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe aim of this book is to give an introduction to what has come to be known as Standard Monomial Theory (SMT). SMT deals with the construction of nice bases of finite dimensional irreducible representations of semi-simple algebraic groups or, in geometric terms, nice bases of coordinate rings of flag varieties (and their Schubert subvarieties) associated to these groups. Besides its intrinsic interest, SMT has applications to the study of the geometry of Schubert varieties. SMT has its origin in the work of Hodge, giving bases of the coordinate rings of the Grassmannian and its Schubert subvarieties by ""standard monomials"". In its modern form, SMT was developed by the author in a series of papers written in collaboration with V. Lakshmibai and C. Musili.This book is a reproduction of a course of lectures given by the author in 1983-84 which appeared in the Brandeis Lecture Notes series. The aim of this course was to give an introduction to the series of papers by concentrating on the case of the full linear group. In recent years, there has been great progress in SMT due to the work of Peter Littelmann. Seshadri's course of lectures (reproduced in this book) remains an excellent introduction to SMT.In the second edition, Conjectures of a Standard Monomial Theory (SMT) for a general semi-simple (simply-connected) algebraic group, due to Lakshmibai, have been added as Appendix C. Many typographical errors have been corrected, and the bibliography has been revised.

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis textbook provides a readable account of the examples and fundamental results of groups from a theoretical and geometrical point of view. Topics on important examples of groups (like cyclic groups, permutation groups, group of arithmetical functions, matrix groups and linear groups), Lagrange’s theorem, normal subgroups, factor groups, derived subgroup, homomorphism, isomorphism and automorphism of groups have been discussed in depth. Covering all major topics, this book is targeted to undergraduate students of mathematics with no prerequisite knowledge of the discussed topics. Each section ends with a set of worked-out problems and supplementary exercises to challenge the knowledge and ability of the reader.Trade Review“Advanced school students and well-motivated undergraduates can profitably read it, and it is a very useful general reference for the history of substantial parts of mathematics, placed in the context of contemporary social and political events. … as a readable … and refreshingly detailed account of the whole sweep of ‘infinitesimal methods’ from antiquity to the 1990s, this book is highly recommended.” (Peter Giblin, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 107 (570), November, 2023)“Davvaz's book, on the other hand, features many excellent discussions of groups of matrices. Indeed, matrix groups are used not just as examples of groups, but to help clarify and add depth to Davvaz's discussion of other families of groups. … . It is also, in my opinion, the highlight of the book.” (Benjamin Linowitz, MAA Reviews, February 20, 2022)Table of ContentsPreliminaries Notions.- Symmetries of Shapes.- Binary Operations.- Cyclic Groups.- Inverse Functions and Permutations.- Group of Arithmetical Functions.- Matrix Groups.- Translation and Scaling Matrices.- Cosets of Subgroups and Lagrange’s Theorem.- Normal Subgroups and Factor Groups.- Some Special Subgroups.- Commutators and Derived Subgroups.- Maximal Subgroups.- Group Homomorphisms.- Homomorphisms and Their Properties.- Cayley’s Theorem.- Another View of Linear Groups.

  • A Textbook of Algebraic Number Theory

    Springer Verlag, Singapore A Textbook of Algebraic Number Theory

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis self-contained and comprehensive textbook of algebraic number theory is useful for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics. The book discusses proofs of almost all basic significant theorems of algebraic number theory including Dedekind’s theorem on splitting of primes, Dirichlet’s unit theorem, Minkowski’s convex body theorem, Dedekind’s discriminant theorem, Hermite’s theorem on discriminant, Dirichlet’s class number formula, and Dirichlet’s theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions. A few research problems arising out of these results are mentioned together with the progress made in the direction of each problem. Following the classical approach of Dedekind’s theory of ideals, the book aims at arousing the reader’s interest in the current research being held in the subject area. It not only proves basic results but pairs them with recent developments, making the book relevant and thought-provoking. Historical notes are given at various places. Featured with numerous related exercises and examples, this book is of significant value to students and researchers associated with the field. The book also is suitable for independent study. The only prerequisite is basic knowledge of abstract algebra and elementary number theory. Trade Review“A Textbook of Algebraic Number Theory is intended to be used as a 2-term textbook for an algebraic number theory graduate course. … As a graduate course textbook, this would be an excellent resource. … I would definitely recommend this book for a graduate course following a thorough abstract algebra sequence. The topics covered are the foundations of the study of algebraic number theory.” (McKenzie West, MAA Reviews, October 9, 2023)“This wonderful textbook will be of great help to everybody interested in algebraic number theory … . The book is an essence of a two-semester course on algebraic number theory held several times by the author to postgraduate students. … Readers will enjoy the presentation of the book together with interesting illustrations of historical notes.” (István Gaál, zbMATH 1500.11001, 2023)Table of Contents1.

    Book SynopsisDifferential Geometry and Its Visualization is suitable for graduate level courses in differential geometry, serving both students and teachers. It can also be used as a supplementary reference for research in mathematics and the natural and engineering sciences.Differential geometry is the study of geometric objects and their properties using the methods of mathematical analysis. The classical theory of curves and surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space is presented in the first three chapters. The abstract and modern topics of tensor algebra, Riemannian spaces and tensor analysis are studied in the last two chapters. A great number of illustrating examples, visualizations and genuine figures created by the authors' own software are included to support the understanding of the presented concepts and results, and to develop an adequate perception of the shapes of geometric objects, their properties and the relations between them.FeatuTable of Contents1.
