This book was released on 2009-06-12 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integral transforms, such as the Laplace and Fourier transforms, have been major tools in mathematics for at least two centuries. In the last three decades the development of a number of novel ideas in algebraic geometry, category theory, gauge theory, and string theory has been closely related to generalizations of integral transforms of a more geometric character. "Fourier–Mukai and Nahm Transforms in Geometry and Mathematical Physics" examines the algebro-geometric approach (Fourier–Mukai functors) as well as the differential-geometric constructions (Nahm). Also included is a considerable amount of material from existing literature which has not been systematically organized into a monograph. Key features: Basic constructions and definitions are presented in preliminary background chapters - Presentation explores applications and suggests several open questions - Extensive bibliography and index. This self-contained monograph provides an introduction to current research in geometry and mathematical physics and is intended for graduate students and researchers just entering this field.

This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text serves as an introduction to the modern theory of analysis and differential equations with applications in mathematical physics and engineering sciences. Having outgrown from a series of half-semester courses given at University of Oulu, this book consists of four self-contained parts. The first part, Fourier Series and the Discrete Fourier Transform, is devoted to the classical one-dimensional trigonometric Fourier series with some applications to PDEs and signal processing. The second part, Fourier Transform and Distributions, is concerned with distribution theory of L. Schwartz and its applications to the Schrödinger and magnetic Schrödinger operations. The third part, Operator Theory and Integral Equations, is devoted mostly to the self-adjoint but unbounded operators in Hilbert spaces and their applications to integral equations in such spaces. The fourth and final part, Introduction to Partial Differential Equations, serves as an introduction to modern methods for classical theory of partial differential equations. Complete with nearly 250 exercises throughout, this text is intended for graduate level students and researchers in the mathematical sciences and engineering.
Download or read book A Student s Guide to Fourier Transforms written by John Francis James and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-09-19 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourier transform theory is of central importance in a vast range of applications in physical science, engineering, and applied mathematics. This new edition of a successful student text provides a concise introduction to the theory and practice of Fourier transforms, using qualitative arguments wherever possible and avoiding unnecessary mathematics. After a brief description of the basic ideas and theorems, the power of the technique is then illustrated by referring to particular applications in optics, spectroscopy, electronics and telecommunications. The rarely discussed but important field of multi-dimensional Fourier theory is covered, including a description of computer-aided tomography (CAT-scanning). The final chapter discusses digital methods, with particular attention to the fast Fourier transform. Throughout, discussion of these applications is reinforced by the inclusion of worked examples. The book assumes no previous knowledge of the subject, and will be invaluable to students of physics, electrical and electronic engineering, and computer science.
Download or read book Fourier Transforms Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering written by Jorge L. Delyra and published by Mathematical Methods for Physi. This book was released on 2019-02-15 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a longstanding conflict between extension and depth in the teaching of mathematics to physics students. This text intends to present an approach that tries to track what could be called the ``middle way'' in this conflict. It is the result of several years of experience of the author teaching the mathematical physics courses at the Physics Institute of the University of São Paulo. The text is organized in the form of relatively short chapters, each appropriate for exposition in one lecture. Each chapter includes a list of proposed problems, which have varied levels of difficulty, including practice problems, problems that complete and extend the material presented in the text, and some longer and more difficult problems, which are presented as challenges to the students. There are complete solutions available, detailed and commented, to all the problems proposed, which are presented in separate volumes. This volume is dedicated to Fourier transforms. This term is used here in a wider sense, including finite Fourier transforms, defined on a finite and discrete lattice, Fourier series, defined on a finite domain within the continuum, and the usual Fourier transforms, defined on the infinite continuum. This constitutes an elementary introduction to what is called, in its more abstract form, harmonic analysis. By means of the device of starting from the finite and discrete version of the formalism, which is done in the spirit of the definition of the Riemann integral, we are able to present in a clear way the basic structure of this whole formalism, while avoiding any need to face on this first moment the difficult convergence questions that arise when one takes the continuum limit. Once in the continuum, the convergence issues are addressed and put in proper perspective through the use of a low-pass filter, which is defined and developed in a fairly precise way. In the last two chapters the whole structure of the Fourier theory of real functions is derived ``ab initio'' once again, this time directly in the continuum, starting from the theory of analytic functions. There we present something that works like a universal summation rule, which applies to all Fourier series, and which allows us to recover any integrable real function from the set of its Fourier coefficients, even when the Fourier series itself diverges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vector bundles and their associated moduli spaces are of fundamental importance in algebraic geometry. In recent decades this subject has been greatly enhanced by its relationships with other areas of mathematics, including differential geometry, topology and even theoretical physics, specifically gauge theory, quantum field theory and string theory. Peter E. Newstead has been a leading figure in this field almost from its inception and has made many seminal contributions to our understanding of moduli spaces of stable bundles. This volume has been assembled in tribute to Professor Newstead and his contribution to algebraic geometry. Some of the subject's leading experts cover foundational material, while the survey and research papers focus on topics at the forefront of the field. This volume is suitable for both graduate students and more experienced researchers.
Download or read book Fourier Analysis in Convex Geometry written by Alexander Koldobsky and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the geometry of convex bodies based on information about sections and projections of these bodies has important applications in many areas of mathematics and science. In this book, a new Fourier analysis approach is discussed. The idea is to express certain geometric properties of bodies in terms of Fourier analysis and to use harmonic analysis methods to solve geometric problems. One of the results discussed in the book is Ball's theorem, establishing the exact upper bound for the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of hyperplane sections of the $n$-dimensional unit cube (it is $\sqrt{2}$ for each $n\geq 2$). Another is the Busemann-Petty problem: if $K$ and $L$ are two convex origin-symmetric $n$-dimensional bodies and the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of each central hyperplane section of $K$ is less than the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of the corresponding section of $L$, is it true that the $n$-dimensional volume of $K$ is less than the volume of $L$? (The answer is positive for $n\le 4$ and negative for $n>4$.) The book is suitable for all mathematicians interested in geometry, harmonic and functional analysis, and probability. Prerequisites for reading this book include basic real, complex, and functional analysis.

Download or read book Introduction to String Theory written by Sergio Cecotti and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 846 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graduate students typically enter into courses on string theory having little to no familiarity with the mathematical background so crucial to the discipline. As such, this book, based on lecture notes, edited and expanded, from the graduate course taught by the author at SISSA and BIMSA, places particular emphasis on said mathematical background. The target audience for the book includes students of both theoretical physics and mathematics. This explains the book’s "strange" style: on the one hand, it is highly didactic and explicit, with a host of examples for the physicists, but, in addition, there are also almost 100 separate technical boxes, appendices, and starred sections, in which matters discussed in the main text are put into a broader mathematical perspective, while deeper and more rigorous points of view (particularly those from the modern era) are presented. The boxes also serve to further shore up the reader’s understanding of the underlying math. In writing this book, the author’s goal was not to achieve any sort of definitive conciseness, opting instead for clarity and "completeness". To this end, several arguments are presented more than once from different viewpoints and in varying contexts.
Download or read book Coherent States and Their Applications written by Jean-Pierre Antoine and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coherent states (CS) were originally introduced in 1926 by Schrödinger and rediscovered in the early 1960s in the context of laser physics. Since then, they have evolved into an extremely rich domain that pervades virtually every corner of physics, and have also given rise to a range of research topics in mathematics. The purpose of the 2016 CIRM conference was to bring together leading experts in the field with scientists interested in related topics, to jointly investigate their applications in physics, their various mathematical properties, and their generalizations in many directions. Instead of traditional proceedings, this book presents sixteen longer review-type contributions, which are the outcome of a collaborative effort by many conference participants, subsequently reviewed by independent experts. The book aptly illustrates the diversity of CS aspects, from purely mathematical topics to physical applications, including quantum gravity.

Download or read book Derived Functors And Sheaf Cohomology written by Ugo Bruzzo and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the book is to present a precise and comprehensive introduction to the basic theory of derived functors, with an emphasis on sheaf cohomology and spectral sequences. It keeps the treatment as simple as possible, aiming at the same time to provide a number of examples, mainly from sheaf theory, and also from algebra.The first part of the book provides the foundational material: Chapter 1 deals with category theory and homological algebra. Chapter 2 is devoted to the development of the theory of derived functors, based on the notion of injective object. In particular, the universal properties of derived functors are stressed, with a view to make the proofs in the following chapters as simple and natural as possible. Chapter 3 provides a rather thorough introduction to sheaves, in a general topological setting. Chapter 4 introduces sheaf cohomology as a derived functor, and, after also defining Čech cohomology, develops a careful comparison between the two cohomologies which is a detailed analysis not easily available in the literature. This comparison is made using general, universal properties of derived functors. This chapter also establishes the relations with the de Rham and Dolbeault cohomologies. Chapter 5 offers a friendly approach to the rather intricate theory of spectral sequences by means of the theory of derived triangles, which is precise and relatively easy to grasp. It also includes several examples of specific spectral sequences. Readers will find exercises throughout the text, with additional exercises included at the end of each chapter.
Download or read book Darboux Transformations in Integrable Systems written by Chaohao Gu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-12-08 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Darboux transformation approach is one of the most effective methods for constructing explicit solutions of partial differential equations which are called integrable systems and play important roles in mechanics, physics and differential geometry. This book presents the Darboux transformations in matrix form and provides purely algebraic algorithms for constructing the explicit solutions. A basis for using symbolic computations to obtain the explicit exact solutions for many integrable systems is established. Moreover, the behavior of simple and multi-solutions, even in multi-dimensional cases, can be elucidated clearly. The method covers a series of important equations such as various kinds of AKNS systems in R1+n, harmonic maps from 2-dimensional manifolds, self-dual Yang-Mills fields and the generalizations to higher dimensional case, theory of line congruences in three dimensions or higher dimensional space etc. All these cases are explained in detail. This book contains many results that were obtained by the authors in the past few years. Audience: The book has been written for specialists, teachers and graduate students (or undergraduate students of higher grade) in mathematics and physics.
