The focus of this book is on combinatorial objects dessins denfants which are drawings with vertices and edges on topological surfaces Their interest lies in their relation with the set of algebraic curves defined over the closure of the rationals and the corresponding action of the absolute Galois group on them The articles contained here unite basic elements of the subject with recent advances Topics covered include the explicity association of algebraic curves to dessins the study of the action of the Galois group on the dessins computation and combinatorics relations with modular forms geometry generating functions TeichmÜller and moduli spaces Researchers in number theory algebraic geometry or related areas of group theory will find much of interest in this book

The use of geometric methods in classical mechanics has proven fruitful with wide applications in physics and engineering In this book Professor Marsden concentrates on these geometric aspects especially on symmetry techniques The main points he covers are the stability of relative equilibria which is analyzed using the block diagonalization technique geometric phases studied using the reduction and reconstruction technique and bifurcation of relative equilibria and chaos in mechanical systems A unifying theme for these points is provided by reduction theory the associated mechanical connection and techniques from dynamical systems These methods can be applied to many control and stabilization situations and this is illustrated using rigid bodies with internal rotors and the use of geometric phases in mechanical systems To illustrate the above ideas and the power of geometric arguments the author studies a variety of specific systems including the double spherical pendulum and the classical rotating water molecule

In this book Professor Lounesto offers a unique introduction to Clifford algebras and spinors The beginning chapters could be read by undergraduates vectors complex numbers and quaternions are introduced with an eye on Clifford algebras The next chapters will also interest physicists and include treatments of the quantum mechanics of the electron electromagnetism and special relativity with a flavour of Clifford algebras A new classification of spinors is introduced one based on bilinear covariants of physical observables This reveals a new class of spinors residing between the Weyl Majorana and Dirac spinors Scalar products of spinors are classified by involutory antiautomorphisms of Clifford algebras This leads to the chessboard of automorphism groups of scalar products of spinors On the algebraic side BrauerWall groups and Witt rings are discussed and on the analytic Cauchys integral formula is generalised to higher dimensions

Find tips, reviews, and features on Synthetic Differential Geometry London sold for 122.22 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product belongs to and is sold by Abebooks.com.
Synthetic Differential Geometry is a method of reasoning in differential geometry and differential calculus based on the assumption of sufficiently many nilpotent elements on the number line in particular numbers d such that d20 The use of nilpotent elements allows one to replace the limit processes of calculus by purely algebraic calculations and notions For the first half of the book familiarity with differential calculus and abstract algebra is presupposed during the development of results in calculus and differential geometry on a purely axiomaticsynthetic basis In the second half basic notions of category theory are presumed in the construction of suitable Cartesian closed categories and the interpretation of logical formulae within them This is a second edition of Kocks classical text from 1981 Many notes have been included with comments on developments in the field from the intermediate years and almost 100 new bibliographic entries have been added
