Bøger i Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete. 3. Folge / A Series of Modern Surveys in Mathematics serien

The text of this book has its origins more than twenty- ve years ago. In the seminar of the Dutch Singularity Theory project in 1982 and 1983, the second-named author gave a series of lectures on Mixed Hodge Structures and Singularities, accompanied by a set of hand-written notes. The publication of these notes was prevented by a revolution in the subject due to Morihiko Saito: the introduction of the theory of Mixed Hodge Modules around 1985. Understanding this theory was at the same time of great importance and very hard, due to the fact that it uni es many di erent theories which are quite complicated themselves: algebraic D-modules and perverse sheaves. The present book intends to provide a comprehensive text about Mixed Hodge Theory with a view towards Mixed Hodge Modules. The approach to Hodge theory for singular spaces is due to Navarro and his collaborators, whose results provide stronger vanishing results than Deligne¿s original theory. Navarro and Guill en also lled a gap in the proof that the weight ltration on the nearby cohomology is the right one. In that sense the present book corrects and completes the second-named author¿s thesis.

Much of the book is devoted to exploring the wealth of ideas and results generated by thirty years of efforts to extend this result to more general classes of processes, culminating in the recent solution of several key conjectures. A large part of this unique book is devoted to the author's influential work.

This book pioneers a nonlinear Fredholm theory in a general class of spaces called polyfolds.

by a more general quadratic algebra (possibly obtained by deformation) and then to derive Rq [G] by requiring it to possess the latter as a comodule. Drinfeld found that it could be essentially made to work for the "Borel part" of Uq(g) denoted U (b) and further found a general construction (the Drinfeld double) q mirroring a Lie bialgebra.

This monograph provides a systematic treatment of the Brauer group of schemes, from the foundational work of Grothendieck to recent applications in arithmetic and algebraic geometry.

Some years ago a conference on l-adic cohomology in Oberwolfach was held with the aim of reaching an understanding of Deligne's proof of the Weil conjec tures. We intended especially to provide a complete introduction to etale and l-adic cohomology theory including the monodromy theory of Lefschetz pencils.

Two volume work containing a contemporary account on "Positivity in Algebraic Geometry". 48 and 49 in the series "Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete".A good deal of the material has not previously appeared in book form. Volume II is more at the research level and somewhat more specialized than Volume I.

This second volume of Analysis in Banach Spaces, Probabilistic Methods and Operator Theory, is the successor to Volume I, Martingales and Littlewood-Paley Theory.

The book provides a comprehensive introduction and a novel mathematical foundation of the field of information geometry with complete proofs and detailed background material on measure theory, Riemannian geometry and Banach space theory.

The present volume develops the theory of integration in Banach spaces, martingales and UMD spaces, and culminates in a treatment of the Hilbert transform, Littlewood-Paley theory and the vector-valued Mihlin multiplier theorem.

The theme of this book is an examination of the homotopy principle for holomorphic mappings from Stein manifolds to the newly introduced class of Oka manifolds, offering the first complete account of Oka-Grauert theory and its modern extensions.

This book casts the theory of periods of algebraic varieties in the natural setting of Madhav Nori's abelian category of mixed motives.

This book presents some of the most important aspects of rigid geometry, namely its applications to the study of smooth algebraic curves, of their Jacobians, and of abelian varieties - all of them defined over a complete non-archimedean valued field.

This book introduces the mathematical methods of theoretical and experimental quantum field theory, emphasizing coordinate-free presentations of the objects in play. Offers examples of classical field theories, discusses renormalization methods and more.

In addition to its central focus on generic chaining, which allows for optimal bounds in Gaussian and Bernoulli processes, this volume on modern stochastic methods includes key applications and a variety of complete solutions to a number of classical problems.

This is a revised, updated and enlarged edition of Volume II of the author's book "Spin Glasses: A Challenge for Mathematicians" designed to introduce this exciting work to the math-minded reader, in a rigorous manner requiring no knowledge of any physics.

This self-contained introduction treats thin geometries and thick buildings from a diagrammatic perspective, covers polar geometries whose projective planes are Desarguesian and offers a basic reference for study of diagram geometry. Includes many examples.

This book covers the basics of Clifford algebras and spinor modules, with applications to the theory of Lie groups. Topics include Petracci's proof of the Poincare-Birkhoff-Witt theorem, quantized Weil algebras, Duflo's theorem for quadratic Lie algebras and more.

The theme of this book is an examination of the homotopy principle for holomorphic mappings from Stein manifolds to the newly introduced class of Oka manifolds, offering the first complete account of Oka-Grauert theory and its modern extensions.

This updated book serves both as an introduction to profinite groups and as a reference for specialists in some areas of the theory. This revised edition contains new results, improved proofs, typographical corrections, and an enlarged bibliography.

Offering the first comprehensive treatment of this subject in book form, this volume presents the elements of a general theory for flows on three-dimensional compact boundaryless manifolds, encompassing flows with equilibria accumulated by regular orbits.

This text treats the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation with periodic boundary conditions. This equation models waves in homogeneous, weakly nonlinear and weakly dispersive media in general. For the first time, these important results are comprehensively covered in book form, authored by internationally renowned experts in the field.

This monograph (the second of two volumes) deals with non scalar variational problems arising in geometry, as harmonic mappings between Riemannian manifolds and minimal graphs, and in physics, as stable equilibrium configurations in nonlinear elasticity or for liquid crystals.

This book, written by a master of the subject, is primarily devoted to discrete subgroups of finite covolume in semi-simple Lie groups. The author not only proves results in the classical geometry setting, but also obtains theorems of an algebraic nature.

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. The text includes many exercises and open questions.
