Bøger i Advanced Lectures in Mathematics serien

Presents introductions and survey papers treating some of the important topics in geometric analysis, with their applications to related fields. This work is suitable for graduate students and by researchers in related areas.

Presents lectures from the important String Theory International Conference held in 2002 in Hangzhou, China. This work includes talks given by several mathematicians of particular prominence in the field, among them Stephen Hawking and Edward Witten.

This work illustrates two basic principles in the calculus of variations - the questions of existence of solutions and, closely related, the problem of regularity of minimizers. It concentrates on techniques, and presents methods useful for applications in regularity theorems.

Introduces readers to some of the topics of research in the geometry of polyhedral surfaces, with applications to computer graphics. This work provides an introduction to the geometry of polyhedral surfaces based on the variational principle.
