This book was released on 2023-10-16 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre constitue un exposé détaillé de la série de cours donnés en 2020 par le Prof. Nicolas Bergeron, titulaire de la Chaire Aisenstadt au CRM de Montréal. L'objet de ce texte est une ample généralisation d'une famille d'identités classiques, notamment la formule d'addition de la fonction cotangente ou celle des séries d'Eisenstein. Le livre relie ces identités à la cohomologie de certains sous-groupes arithmétiques du groupe linéaire général. Il rend explicite ces relations au moyen de la théorie des symboles modulaires de rang supérieur, dévoilant finalement un lien concret entre des objets de nature topologique et algébrique. This book provides a detailed exposition of the material presented in a series of lectures given in 2020 by Prof. Nicolas Bergeron while he held the Aisenstadt Chair at the CRM in Montréal. The topic is a broad generalization of certain classical identities such as the addition formulas for the cotangent function and for Eisenstein series. The book relates these identities to the cohomology of arithmetic subgroups of the general linear group. It shows that the relations can be made explicit using the theory of higher rank modular symbols, ultimately unveiling a concrete link between topological and algebraic objects. I think that the text “Cocycles de groupe pour $mathrm{GL}_n$ et arrangements d'hyperplans” is terrific. I like how it begins in a leisurely, enticing way with an elementary example that neatly gets to the topic. The construction of these “meromorphic function”-valued modular symbols are fundamental objects, and play (and will continue to play) an important role. —Barry Mazur, Harvard University

Download or read book The Spectrum of Hyperbolic Surfaces written by Nicolas Bergeron and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is an introduction to the spectral theory of the Laplacian on compact or finite area hyperbolic surfaces. For some of these surfaces, called “arithmetic hyperbolic surfaces”, the eigenfunctions are of arithmetic nature, and one may use analytic tools as well as powerful methods in number theory to study them. After an introduction to the hyperbolic geometry of surfaces, with a special emphasis on those of arithmetic type, and then an introduction to spectral analytic methods on the Laplace operator on these surfaces, the author develops the analogy between geometry (closed geodesics) and arithmetic (prime numbers) in proving the Selberg trace formula. Along with important number theoretic applications, the author exhibits applications of these tools to the spectral statistics of the Laplacian and the quantum unique ergodicity property. The latter refers to the arithmetic quantum unique ergodicity theorem, recently proved by Elon Lindenstrauss. The fruit of several graduate level courses at Orsay and Jussieu, The Spectrum of Hyperbolic Surfaces allows the reader to review an array of classical results and then to be led towards very active areas in modern mathematics.

Download or read book L2 Invariants Theory and Applications to Geometry and K Theory written by Wolfgang Lück and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In algebraic topology some classical invariants - such as Betti numbers and Reidemeister torsion - are defined for compact spaces and finite group actions. They can be generalized using von Neumann algebras and their traces, and applied also to non-compact spaces and infinite groups. These new L2-invariants contain very interesting and novel information and can be applied to problems arising in topology, K-Theory, differential geometry, non-commutative geometry and spectral theory. The book, written in an accessible manner, presents a comprehensive introduction to this area of research, as well as its most recent results and developments.

Download or read book Uniformization of Riemann Surfaces written by Henri Paul de Saint-Gervais and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1907, Paul Koebe and Henri Poincare almost simultaneously proved the uniformization theorem: Every simply connected Riemann surface is isomorphic to the plane, the open unit disc, or the sphere. It took a whole century to get to the point of stating this theorem and providing a convincing proof of it, relying as it did on prior work of Gauss, Riemann, Schwarz, Klein, Poincare, and Koebe, among others. The present book offers an overview of the maturation process of this theorem. The evolution of the uniformization theorem took place in parallel with the emergence of modern algebraic geometry, the creation of complex analysis, the first stirrings of functional analysis, and with the flowering of the theory of differential equations and the birth of topology. The uniformization theorem was, thus, one of the lightning rods of 19th century mathematics. Rather than describe the history of a single theorem, the book aims to return to the original proofs, to look at these through the eyes of modern mathematicians, to inquire as to their correctness, and to attempt to make them rigorous while respecting, as much as possible, the state of mathematical knowledge at the time, or, if this should prove impossible, then to use modern mathematical tools that were not available to the authors of the original proofs. This book will be useful to mathematicians wishing to cast a glance back at the history of their discipline. It should also provide graduate students with a non-standard approach to concepts of great importance for modern research.

Download or read book 50 Years of First Passage Percolation written by Antonio Auffinger and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First-passage percolation (FPP) is a fundamental model in probability theory that has a wide range of applications to other scientific areas (growth and infection in biology, optimization in computer science, disordered media in physics), as well as other areas of mathematics, including analysis and geometry. FPP was introduced in the 1960s as a random metric space. Although it is simple to define, and despite years of work by leading researchers, many of its central problems remain unsolved. In this book, the authors describe the main results of FPP, with two purposes in mind. First, they give self-contained proofs of seminal results obtained until the 1990s on limit shapes and geodesics. Second, they discuss recent perspectives and directions including (1) tools from metric geometry, (2) applications of concentration of measure, and (3) related growth and competition models. The authors also provide a collection of old and new open questions. This book is intended as a textbook for a graduate course or as a learning tool for researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first English translation of essays from one of the twentieth century's most intriguing avant-garde writers Compiled from two volumes of Raymond Queneau's essays (Bâtons, chiffres et lettres and Le Voyage en Grèce), these selections find Queneau at his most playful and at his most serious, eloquently pleading for a certain classicism even as he reveals the roots of his own wildly original oeuvre. Ranging from the funny to the furious, they follow Queneau from modernism to postmodernism by way of countless fascinating detours, including his thoughts on language, literary fashions, myth, politics, poetry, and other writers (Faulkner, Flaubert, Hugo, and Proust). Translator Jordan Stump provides an introduction as well as explanatory notes about key figures and Queneau himself.

Download or read book Borcherds Products on O 2 l and Chern Classes of Heegner Divisors written by Jan H. Bruinier and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-10-11 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around 1994 R. Borcherds discovered a new type of meromorphic modular form on the orthogonal group $O(2,n)$. These "Borcherds products" have infinite product expansions analogous to the Dedekind eta-function. They arise as multiplicative liftings of elliptic modular forms on $(SL)_2(R)$. The fact that the zeros and poles of Borcherds products are explicitly given in terms of Heegner divisors makes them interesting for geometric and arithmetic applications. In the present text the Borcherds' construction is extended to Maass wave forms and is used to study the Chern classes of Heegner divisors. A converse theorem for the lifting is proved.
