  • What is the Genus?

    by Patrick Popescu-Pampu ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    Exploring several of the evolutionary branches of the mathematical notion of genus, this book traces the idea from its prehistory in problems of integration, through algebraic curves and their associated Riemann surfaces, into algebraic surfaces, and finally into higher dimensions. Its importance in analysis, algebraic geometry, number theory and topology is emphasized through many theorems. ... Read more

  • Hodge Theory and Complex Algebraic Geometry I: Volume 1

    by Claire Voisin ...
    Translated by Leila Schneps ...
    Series Book 76 - Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics
    The first of two volumes offering a modern introduction to Kaehlerian geometry and Hodge structure. The book starts with basic material on complex variables, complex manifolds, holomorphic vector bundles, sheaves and cohomology theory, the latter being treated in a more theoretical way than is usual in geometry. The author then proves the Kaehler identities, which leads to the hard Lefschetz ... Read more

  • Indra's Pearls

    The Vision of Felix Klein

    by David Mumford, Caroline Series, David Wright ...
    Felix Klein, one of the great nineteenth-century geometers, discovered in mathematics an idea prefigured in Buddhist mythology: the heaven of Indra contained a net of pearls, each of which was reflected in its neighbour, so that the whole Universe was mirrored in each pearl. Klein studied infinitely repeated reflections and was led to forms with multiple coexisting symmetries. For a century, these ... Read more

  • Periods and Nori Motives

    by Annette Huber, Benjamin Friedrich, Jonas von Wangenheim, Stefan Müller-Stach ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This book casts the theory of periods of algebraic varieties in the natural setting of Madhav Nori’s abelian category of mixed motives. It develops Nori’s approach to mixed motives from scratch, thereby filling an important gap in the literature, and then explains the connection of mixed motives to periods, including a detailed account of the theory of period numbers in the sense of Kontsevich ...

  • A Royal Road to Algebraic Geometry

    by Audun Holme ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This book is about modern algebraic geometry. The title A Royal Road to Algebraic Geometry is inspired by the famous anecdote about the king asking Euclid if there really existed no simpler way for learning geometry, than to read all of his work Elements. Euclid is said to have answered: “There is no royal road to geometry!”The book starts by explaining this enigmatic answer, the aim of the book ... Read more

  • Mathematical Concepts

    by Jürgen Jost ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    The main intention of this book is to describe and develop the conceptual, structural and abstract thinking of mathematics. Specific mathematical structures are used to illustrate the conceptual approach; providing a deeper insight into mutual relationships and abstract common features. These ideas are carefully motivated, explained and illustrated by examples so that many of the more technical ... Read more

  • Mathematical Structures of Natural Intelligence

    by Yair Neuman ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This book uncovers mathematical structures underlying natural intelligence and applies category theory as a modeling language for understanding human cognition, giving readers new insights into the nature of human thought. In this context, the book explores various topics and questions, such as the human representation of the number system, why our counting ability is different from that which is ... Read more

  • Classical Algebraic Geometry

    A Modern View

    by Igor V. Dolgachev ...
    Algebraic geometry has benefited enormously from the powerful general machinery developed in the latter half of the twentieth century. The cost has been that much of the research of previous generations is in a language unintelligible to modern workers, in particular, the rich legacy of classical algebraic geometry, such as plane algebraic curves of low degree, special algebraic surfaces, theta ...
