Constructible Sets in Real Geometry (Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete. 3. Folge A Series of Modern Surveys in Mathematics)
Sale Price :$48.42
Constructible Sets in Real Geometry (Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete. 3. Folge A Series of Modern Surveys in Mathematics) Overview
This book presents a systematic and unified report on the minimal description of constructible sets. It starts at a very basic level (almost undergraduate) and leads up to state-of-the-art results, many of which are published in book form for the very first time. The book contains numerous examples, 63 figures and each chapter ends with a section containing historical notes. The authors tried to keep the presentation as self-contained as it can possibly be.

Twistor Geometry and Field Theory (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics)
Sale Price :$52.50
Twistor Geometry and Field Theory (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics) Overview
This book deals with the twistor treatment of certain linear and non-linear partial differential equations in mathematical physics. The description in terms of twistors involves algebraic and differential geometry, and several complex variables, and results in a different kind of setting that gives a new perspective on the properties of space-time and field theories. The book is designed to be used by mathematicians and physicists and so the authors have made it reasonably self-contained. The first part contains a development of the necessary mathematical background. In the second part, Yang-Mills fields and gravitational fields (the basic fields of contemporary physics) are described at the classical level. In the final part, the mathematics and physics are married to solve a number of field-theoretical problems.

Geometry, Topology and Quantum Field Theory (Fundamental Theories of Physics)
Sale Price :$120.26
Geometry, Topology and Quantum Field Theory (Fundamental Theories of Physics) Overview
This monograph deals with the geometrical and topological aspects related to quantum field theory with special reference to the electroweak theory and skyrmions. This book is unique in its emphasis on the topological aspects of a fermion manifested through chiral anomaly which is responsible for the generation of mass. This has its relevance in electroweak theory where it is observed that weak interaction gauge bosons attain mass topologically. These geometrical and topological features help us to consider a massive fermion as a skyrmion and for a composite state we can realise the internal symmetry of hadrons from reflection group. Also, an overview of noncommutative geometry has been presented and it is observed that the manifold M 4 x Z2 has its relevance in the description of a massive fermion as skyrmion when the discrete space is considered as the internal space and the symmetry breaking gives rise to chiral anomaly leading to topological features. Audience: This book will be of value to research workers and specialists in mathematical physics, quantum field theory, particle physics, differential geometry and analysis of manifolds.

Lie Sphere Geometry: With Applications to Submanifolds (Universitext)
Sale Price :$2.50
Lie Sphere Geometry: With Applications to Submanifolds (Universitext) Overview
This book provides a clear and comprehensive modern treatment of Lie sphere geometry and its applications to the study of Euclidean submanifolds. It begins with the construction of the space of spheres, including the fundamental notions of oriented contact, parabolic pencils of spheres, and Lie sphere transformations. The link with Euclidean submanifold theory is established via the Legendre map, which provides a powerful framework for the study of submanifolds, especially those characterized by restrictions on their curvature spheres.
This new edition contains revised sections on taut submanifolds, compact proper Dupin submanifolds, reducible Dupin submanifolds, and the cyclides of Dupin. Completely new material on isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres and Dupin hypersurfaces with three and four principal curvatures is also included. The author surveys the known results in these fields and indicates directions for further research and wider application of the methods of Lie sphere geometry.
Further key features of Lie Sphere Geometry 2/e: Provides the reader with all the necessary background to reach the frontiers of research in this area; Fills a gap in the literature; no other thorough examination of Lie sphere geometry and its applications to submanifold theory; Complete treatment of the cyclides of Dupin, including 11 computer-generated illustrations; Rigorous exposition driven by motivation and ample examples.
