Gradient flows: In metric spaces and in the space of by Luigi Ambrosio

By Luigi Ambrosio

This e-book is dedicated to a thought of gradient flows in areas which aren't inevitably endowed with a usual linear or differentiable constitution. It involves elements, the 1st one pertaining to gradient flows in metric areas and the second dedicated to gradient flows within the area of chance measures on a separable Hilbert area, endowed with the Kantorovich-Rubinstein-Wasserstein distance.

The elements have a few connections, when you consider that the distance of likelihood measures presents an enormous version to which the "metric" conception applies, however the publication is conceived in one of these manner that the 2 elements should be learn independently, the 1st one by means of the reader extra attracted to non-smooth research and research in metric areas, and the second via the reader extra oriented in the direction of the functions in partial differential equations, degree thought and probability.

First Steps in Differential Geometry: Riemannian, Contact, by Andrew McInerney

By Andrew McInerney

Differential geometry arguably deals the smoothest transition from the traditional college arithmetic series of the 1st 4 semesters in calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations to the better degrees of abstraction and facts encountered on the higher department through arithmetic majors. this day it really is attainable to explain differential geometry as "the research of constructions at the tangent space," and this article develops this viewpoint.

This e-book, not like different introductory texts in differential geometry, develops the structure essential to introduce symplectic and make contact with geometry along its Riemannian cousin. the most target of this booklet is to convey the undergraduate scholar who already has an outstanding origin within the common arithmetic curriculum into touch with the great thing about greater arithmetic. particularly, the presentation right here emphasizes the implications of a definition and the cautious use of examples and structures to be able to discover these consequences.

Geometry from Dynamics, Classical and Quantum by José F. Cariñena, Visit Amazon's Alberto Ibort Page, search

By José F. Cariñena, Visit Amazon's Alberto Ibort Page, search results, Learn about Author Central, Alberto Ibort, , Giuseppe Marmo, Giuseppe Morandi

This booklet describes, through the use of uncomplicated innovations, how a few geometrical buildings conventional at the present time in lots of parts of physics, like symplectic, Poisson, Lagrangian, Hermitian, etc., emerge from dynamics. it's assumed that what should be accessed in real stories whilst learning a given approach is simply its dynamical habit that's defined through the use of a kin of variables ("observables" of the system). The ebook departs from the primary that ''dynamics is first'' after which attempts to respond to in what feel the only dynamics determines the geometrical constructions that experience proved so beneficial to explain the dynamics in such a lot of very important circumstances. during this vein it truly is proven that the majority of the geometrical buildings which are utilized in the traditional displays of classical dynamics (Jacobi, Poisson, symplectic, Hamiltonian, Lagrangian) are made up our minds, even though quite often now not uniquely, by means of the dynamics by myself. an identical software is entire for the geometrical buildings proper to explain quantum dynamics. ultimately, it truly is proven that extra homes that let the categorical description of the dynamics of definite dynamical platforms, like integrability and large integrability, are deeply on the topic of the former improvement and should be coated within the final a part of the ebook. The mathematical framework used to offer the former software is stored to an straight forward point during the textual content, indicating the place extra complex notions should be had to continue extra. A relations of appropriate examples is mentioned at size and the required rules from geometry are elaborated alongside the textual content. despite the fact that no attempt is made to give an ''all-inclusive'' advent to differential geometry as many different books exist already out there doing precisely that. notwithstanding, the improvement of the former application, regarded as the posing and answer of a generalized inverse challenge for geometry, results in new methods of considering and concerning one of the most conspicuous geometrical constructions showing in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics.

Differential Geometry, Lie Groups, and Symmetric Spaces, by Sigurdur Helgason

By Sigurdur Helgason

The current booklet is meant as a textbook and reference paintings on 3 issues within the identify. including a quantity in development on "Groups and Geometric research" it supersedes my "Differential Geometry and Symmetric Spaces," released in 1962. on the grounds that that point numerous branches of the topic, really the functionality idea on symmetric areas, have built considerably. I felt that an improved remedy may now be precious.

Topological Invariants of Stratified Spaces by Murray N. Rothbard

By Murray N. Rothbard

The imperative subject of this ebook is the recovery of Poincaré duality on stratified singular areas by utilizing Verdier-self-dual sheaves resembling the prototypical intersection chain sheaf on a posh variety.

After rigorously introducing sheaf conception, derived different types, Verdier duality, stratification theories, intersection homology, t-structures and perverse sheaves, the final word target is to give an explanation for the development in addition to algebraic and geometric houses of invariants corresponding to the signature and attribute periods effectuated by means of self-dual sheaves.

Highlights by no means earlier than awarded in publication shape contain entire and extremely certain proofs of decomposition theorems for self-dual sheaves, clarification of equipment for computing twisted attribute sessions and an advent to the author's thought of non-Witt areas and Lagrangian structures.

Dynamics in Infinite Dimensions by Jack K. Hale

By Jack K. Hale

This e-book offers an advent to the geometric concept of countless dimensional dynamical platforms. a number of the basic effects are offered for asymptotically gentle dynamical platforms that experience purposes to sensible differential equations in addition to periods of dissipative partial differential equations. even if, as within the past variation, the most important emphasis is on retarded practical differential equations. This up-to-date model additionally includes a lot fabric on impartial sensible differential equations. the implications within the past version on Morse-Smale structures for maps are prolonged to a category of semiflows, which come with retarded practical differential equations and parabolic partial differential equations.

Lezione di geometria differenziale by Luigi Bianchi

By Luigi Bianchi

In queste ''Lezioni di geometria differenziale'' i soggetti più elevati dell'aritmetica (forme quadratiche, corpi algebrici e loro ideali, rapporti reciproci fra l. a. teoria dei numeri e quelle delle funzioni analitiche) sono trattati con una rara ampiezza e ricchezza di sviluppi. Si deve all'opera del Bianchi, matematico di fama mondiale, il grande progresso della Geometria differenziale.
