This book provides an in depth discussion of Loewner's theorem on the characterization of matrix monotone functions.

The authors present the general theory of categories and functors, emphasizing inductive and projective limits, tensor categories, representable functors, ind-objects and localization.

This book deals with condition as a main aspect in the understanding of the performance-regarding both stability and complexity-of numerical algorithms. It offers partial solutions for Smale's 17th problem.

The field of optimal transport has made breathtaking forays into various other domains of mathematics. This book presents a broad overview of this area. PhD students or researchers can read the entire book without any prior knowledge of the field.

This book reviews higher dimensional Nevanlinna theory and its relationship with Diophantine approximation theory. Coverage builds up from the classical theory of meromorphic functions on the complex plane with full proofs, to the current state of research.

With contributions by numerous experts

The German edition of this book appeared in 1932 under the title "Die gruppentheoretische Methode in der Quantenmechanik". This was possible because recent investigations in the theory of self-adjoint linear operators have made the mathematical foundation of Quantum Mechanics much clearer than it was in t 932.

From its origins in the minimization of integral functionals, the notion of variations has evolved greatly in connection with applications in optimization, equilibrium, and control.

This introduction to algebraic number theory discusses the classical concepts from the viewpoint of Arakelov theory. The treatment of class theory is particularly rich in illustrating complements, offering hints for further study, and providing concrete examples.

A description of the global properties of simply-connected spaces that are non-positively curved in the sense of A. Part I provides an introduction to the geometry of geodesic spaces, while Part II develops the basic theory of spaces with upper curvature bounds.

This book covers the fundamentals of convex analysis, a refinement of standard calculus with equalities and approximations replaced by inequalities. Reviews minimization algorithms, which provide immediate application to optimization and operations research.

From the reviews: "L.R. Shafarevich showed me the first edition [...] and said that this book will be from now on the book about class field theory. In fact it is by far the most complete treatment of the main theorems of algebraic number theory, including function fields over finite constant fields, that appeared in book form."

Sheaf Theory is modern, active field of mathematics at the intersection of algebraic topology, algebraic geometry and partial differential equations.

A 1988 classic, covering Two-dimensional Surfaces; Domains on the Plane and on Surfaces; Brunn-Minkowski Inequality and Classical Isoperimetric Inequality; Isoperimetric Inequalities for Various Definitions of Area; and Inequalities Involving Mean Curvature.

The Local Langlands Conjecture for GL(2) contributes an unprecedented text to the so-called Langlands theory. It presupposes no special knowledge beyond the beginnings of the representation theory of finite groups and the structure theory of local fields.

But other subjects also play an important role: homology theory, fibration theory (and characteristic classes in particular), and also branches of mathematics that are not directly a part of topology, but which use topological methods in an essential way: for example, the theory of indices of elliptic operators and the theory of complex manifolds.

The second volume of the Geometry of Algebraic Curves is devoted to the foundations of the theory of moduli of algebraic curves. Its authors are research mathematicians who have actively participated in the development of the Geometry of Algebraic Curves.

From the reviews: "The account is quite detailed and is written in a manner that will appeal to analysts and numerical practitioners alike...they contain everything from rigorous proofs to tables of numerical calculations....

From the reviews: "This is a very interesting book containing material for a comprehensive study of the cyclid homological theory of algebras, cyclic sets and S1-spaces. The book requires a knowledge of homological algebra and Lie algebra theory as well as basic technics coming from algebraic topology.

From the reviews: "... This is a powerful book, written by a very distinguished contributor to the field" (Contemporary Physics )"the book provides a large amount of background for current research across a spectrum of field. Newsletter) " The contents are highly technical and the pace of the exposition is quite fast.

In recent years there has been enormous activity in the theory of algebraic curves. Our goal is to give a comprehensive and self-contained account of the extrinsic geometry of algebraic curves, which in our opinion constitutes the main geometric core of the recent advances in curve theory.

"..carefully and thoughtfully written and prepared with, in my opinion, just the right amount of detail included...will certainly be a primary source that I shall turn to." Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society

For a long time - at least from Fermat to Minkowski - the theory of quadratic forms was a part of number theory. On the basis of both - the number theory of quadratic forms and the ideas of modern algebra - Witt opened, in 1937, a new chapter in the theory of quadratic forms.

The expanded second edition of this book reflects new developments including the Feigenbaum universality of period doubling, the Zoladec solution, the Iljashenko proof, the Ecalle and Voronin theory, the Varchenko and Hovanski theorems and the Neistadt theory.

Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.
