Download or read book The Metaplectic Representation Mp c Structures and Geometric Quantization written by Paul Lee Robinson and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1989 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present an account of the metaplectic representation in terms of the Bargmann-Segal model rather than the standard Schrödinger model; this allows us to describe explicitly the structure and pairing of vacuum states for positive polarizations. We develop a scheme for geometric spinors and, following Hess, using Mp[superscript italic]c structures in place of metaplectic structures.
Download or read book Structural Aspects Of Quantum Field Theory And Noncommutative Geometry Second Edition In 2 Volumes written by Gerhard Grensing and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 1656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is devoted to the subject of quantum field theory. It is divided into two volumes. The first volume can serve as a textbook on main techniques and results of quantum field theory, while the second treats more recent developments, in particular the subject of quantum groups and noncommutative geometry, and their interrelation.The second edition is extended by additional material, mostly concerning the impact of noncommutative geometry on theories beyond the standard model of particle physics, especially the possible role of torsion in the context of the dark matter problem. Furthermore, the text includes a discussion of the Randall-Sundrum model and the Seiberg-Witten equations.
Download or read book Geometric Methods in Physics written by Piotr Kielanowski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Białowieża workshops on Geometric Methods in Physics, taking place in the unique environment of the Białowieża natural forest in Poland, are among the important meetings in the field. Every year some 80 to 100 participants both from mathematics and physics join to discuss new developments and to interchange ideas. The current volume was produced on the occasion of the XXXI meeting in 2012. For the first time the workshop was followed by a School on Geometry and Physics, which consisted of advanced lectures for graduate students and young researchers. Selected speakers of the workshop were asked to contribute, and additional review articles were added. The selection shows that despite its now long tradition the workshop remains always at the cutting edge of ongoing research. The XXXI workshop had as a special topic the works of the late Boris Vasilievich Fedosov (1938–2011) who is best known for a simple and very natural construction of a deformation quantization for any symplectic manifold, and for his contributions to index theory.
Download or read book Introduction to Symplectic Dirac Operators written by Katharina Habermann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-10-28 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first one that gives a systematic and self-contained introduction to the theory of symplectic Dirac operators and reflects the current state of the subject. At the same time, it is intended to establish the idea that symplectic spin geometry and symplectic Dirac operators may give valuable tools in symplectic geometry and symplectic topology, which have become important fields and very active areas of mathematical research.

This book was released on with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph, which grew out of a series of lectures delivered by Stephen Wiggins at the Fields Institute in early 1993, is concerned with the geometrical viewpoint of the global dynamics of nonlinear dynamical systems. With appropriate examples and concise explanations, Wiggins unites many different topics into one volume and makes a unique contribution to the field. Engineers, physicists, chemists, and mathematicians who work on issues related to the global dynamics of nonlinear dynamical systems will find these lectures very useful.
Download or read book Moment Maps Cobordisms and Hamiltonian Group Actions written by Victor Guillemin and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last 20 years, ``localization'' has been one of the dominant themes in the area of equivariant differential geometry. Typical results are the Duistermaat-Heckman theory, the Berline-Vergne-Atiyah-Bott localization theorem in equivariant de Rham theory, and the ``quantization commutes with reduction'' theorem and its various corollaries. To formulate the idea that these theorems are all consequences of a single result involving equivariant cobordisms, the authors have developed a cobordism theory that allows the objects to be non-compact manifolds. A key ingredient in this non-compact cobordism is an equivariant-geometrical object which they call an ``abstract moment map''. This is a natural and important generalization of the notion of a moment map occurring in the theory of Hamiltonian dynamics. The book contains a number of appendices that include introductions to proper group-actions on manifolds, equivariant cohomology, Spin${^\mathrm{c}}$-structures, and stable complex structures. It is geared toward graduate students and research mathematicians interested in differential geometry. It is also suitable for topologists, Lie theorists, combinatorists, and theoretical physicists. Prerequisite is some expertise in calculus on manifolds and basic graduate-level differential geometry.
Download or read book Sum of Even Powers of Real Linear Forms written by Bruce Arie Reznick and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1992 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work initiates a systematic analysis of the representation of real forms of even degree as sums of powers of linear forms and the resulting implications in real algebraic geometry, number theory, combinatorics, functional analysis, and numerical analysis. The proofs utilize elementary techniques from linear algebra, convexity, number theory, and real algebraic geometry and many explicit examples and relevant historical remarks are presented.
Download or read book Kernel Functions Analytic Torsion and Moduli Spaces written by John David Fay and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1992 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir is a study of Ray-Singer analytic torsion for hermitian vector bundles on a compact Riemann surface [italic]C. The torsion is expressed through the trace of a modified resolvent. Thus, one can develop perturbation-curvature formulae for the Green-Szegö kernel and also for the torsion in terms of the Ahlfors-Bers complex structure of the Teichmuller space and Mumford complex structure of the moduli space of stable bundles of degree zero on [italic]C.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present a new proof of the identities needed to exhibit an explicit [bold]Z-basis for the universal enveloping algebra associated to an affine Lie algebra. We then use the explicit [bold]Z-bases to extend Borcherds' description, via vertex operator representations, of a [bold]Z-form of the enveloping algebras for the simply-laced affine Lie algebras to the enveloping algebras associated to the unequal root length affine Lie algebras.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is concerned with an algebraically completely integrable Hamiltonian system whose solutions may be used to describe the finite gap solutions of the AKNS spectral problem, a first order two-by-two matrix linear system. Trace formulas, constraints, Lax paris, and constants of motion are obtained using Krichever's algebraic inverse spectral transform. Computations are carried out explicityly over the class of spectral problems with square matrix coefficients.
Download or read book Semistability of Amalgamated Products and HNN Extensions written by Michael L. Mihalik and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1992 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, the authors show that amalgamated products and HNN-extensions of finitely presented semistable at infinity groups are also semistable at infinity. A major step toward determining whether all finitely presented groups are semistable at infinity, this result easily generalizes to finite graphs of groups. The theory of group actions on trees and techniques derived from the proof of Dunwoody's accessibility theorem are key ingredients in this work.

Download or read book A Generalization of Riemann Mappings and Geometric Structures on a Space of Domains in C n written by Stephen Semmes and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1992 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Similar in philosophy to the study of moduli spaces in algebraic geometry, the central theme of this book is that spaces of (pseudoconvex) domains should admit geometrical structures that reflect the complex geometry of the underlying domains in a natural way. With its unusual geometric perspective of some topics in several complex variables, this book appeals to those who view much of mathematics in broadly geometrical terms.
Download or read book Geometric Quantization written by Nicholas Michael John Woodhouse and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geometric approach to quantization was introduced by Konstant and Souriau more than 20 years ago. It has given valuable and lasting insights into the relationship between classical and quantum systems, and continues to be a popular research topic. The ideas have proved useful in pure mathematics, notably in representation theory, as well as in theoretical physics. The most recent applications have been in conformal field theory and in the Jones-Witten theory of knots. The successful original edition of this book was published in 1980. Now it has been completely revised and extensively rewritten. The presentation has been simplified and many new examples have been added. The material on field theory has been expanded.
