Download or read book Two Generator Discrete Subgoups of PSL 2 R written by Jane Gilman and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1995 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discreteness problem is the problem of determining whether or not a two-generator subgroup of $PSL(2, R)$ is discrete. Historically, papers on this old and subtle problem have been known for their errors and omissions. This book presents the first complete geometric solution to the discreteness problem by building upon cases previously presented by Gilman and Maskit and by developing a theory of triangle group shinglings/tilings of the hyperbolic plane and a theory explaining why the solution must take the form of an algorithm. This work is a thoroughly readable exposition that captures the beauty of the interplay between the algebra and the geometry of the solution.
Download or read book Computational Aspects of Discrete Subgroups of Lie Groups written by Alla Detinko and published by American Mathematical Society. This book was released on 2023-03-10 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the virtual workshop on Computational Aspects of Discrete Subgroups of Lie Groups, held from June 14 to June 18, 2021, and hosted by the Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM), Providence, Rhode Island. The major theme deals with a novel domain of computational algebra: the design, implementation, and application of algorithms based on matrix representation of groups and their geometric properties. It is centered on computing with discrete subgroups of Lie groups, which impacts many different areas of mathematics such as algebra, geometry, topology, and number theory. The workshop aimed to synergize independent strands in the area of computing with discrete subgroups of Lie groups, to facilitate solution of theoretical problems by means of recent advances in computational algebra.

Download or read book Complex Manifolds and Hyperbolic Geometry written by Clifford J. Earle and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume derives from the second Iberoamerican Congress on Geometry, held in 2001 in Mexico at the Centro de Investigacion en Matematicas A.C., an internationally recognized program of research in pure mathematics. The conference topics were chosen with an eye toward the presentation of new methods, recent results, and the creation of more interconnections between the different research groups working in complex manifolds and hyperbolic geometry. This volume reflects both the unity and the diversity of these subjects. Researchers around the globe have been working on problems concerning Riemann surfaces, as well as a wide scope of other issues: the theory of Teichmuller spaces, theta functions, algebraic geometry and classical function theory. Included here are discussions revolving around questions of geometry that are related in one way or another to functions of a complex variable. There are contributors on Riemann surfaces, hyperbolic geometry, Teichmuller spaces, and quasiconformal maps. Complex geometry has many applications--triangulations of surfaces, combinatorics, ordinary differential equations, complex dynamics, and the geometry of special curves and jacobians, among others. In this book, research mathematicians in complex geometry, hyperbolic geometry and Teichmuller spaces will find a selection of strong papers by international experts.
Download or read book Two Classes of Riemannian Manifolds Whose Geodesic Flows Are Integrable written by Kazuyoshi Kiyohara and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two classes of manifolds whose geodesic flows are integrable are defined, and their global structures are investigated. They are called Liouville manifolds and Kahler-Liouville manifolds respectively. In each case, the author finds several invariants with which they are partly classified. The classification indicates, in particular, that these classes contain many new examples of manifolds with integrable geodesic flow.
Download or read book Topics in Infinite Group Theory written by Benjamin Fine and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives an advanced overview of several topics in infinite group theory. It can also be considered as a rigorous introduction to combinatorial and geometric group theory. The philosophy of the book is to describe the interaction between these two important parts of infinite group theory. In this line of thought, several theorems are proved multiple times with different methods either purely combinatorial or purely geometric while others are shown by a combination of arguments from both perspectives. The first part of the book deals with Nielsen methods and introduces the reader to results and examples that are helpful to understand the following parts. The second part focuses on covering spaces and fundamental groups, including covering space proofs of group theoretic results. The third part deals with the theory of hyperbolic groups. The subjects are illustrated and described by prominent examples and an outlook on solved and unsolved problems.

Download or read book Locally Finite Planar Edge Transitive Graphs written by Jack E. Graver and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nine finite, planar, 3-connected, edge-transitive graphs have been known and studied for many centuries. The infinite, locally finite, planar, 3-connected, edge-transitive graphs can be classified according to the number of their end. The 1-ended graphs in this class were identified by Grünbaum and Shephard; Watkins characterized the 2-ended members. Any remaining graphs in this class must have uncountably may ends. In this work, infinite-ended members of this class are shown to exist. A more detailed classification scheme in terms of the types of Petrie walks in the graphs in this class and the local structure of their automorphism groups is presented.
Download or read book The Operator Hilbert Space OH Complex Interpolation and Tensor Norms written by Gilles Pisier and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1996 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the recently developed duality theory of operator spaces, bounded operators are replaced by 'completely bounded' ones, isomorphism by 'complete isomorphisms' and Banach spaces by 'operator spaces'. This allows for distinguishing between the various ways in which a given Banach space can be embedded isometrically into [italic capital]B([italic capital]H) (with H being Hilbert). One of the main results is the observation that there is a central object in this class: there is a unique self dual Hilbertian operator space (which we denote by [italic capitals]OH) which seems to play the same central role in the category of operator spaces that Hilbert spaces play in the category of Banach spaces.
Download or read book The Structure of k CS Transitive Cycle Free Partial Orders written by Richard Warren and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The class of cycle-free partial orders (CFPOs) is defined, and the CFPOs fulfilling a natural transitivity assumption, called k-connected set transitivity (k-CS-transitivity), are analysed in some detail. Classification in many of the interesting cases is given. This work generlizes Droste's classification of the countable k-transitive trees (k>1). In a CFPO, the structure can be branch downwards as well as upwards, and can do so repeatedely (though it neverr returns to the starting point by a cycle). Mostly it is assumed that k>2 and that all maximal chains are finite. The main classification splits into the sporadic and skeletal cases. The former is complete in all cardinalities. The latter is performed only in the countable case. The classification is considerably more complicated than for trees, and skeletal CFPOs exhibit rich, elaborate and rather surprising behaviour.
Download or read book Some Connections between Isoperimetric and Sobolev type Inequalities written by Serguei Germanovich Bobkov and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Borel probability measures on metric spaces, this text studies the interplay between isoperimetric and Sobolev-type inequalities. In particular the question of finding optimal constants via isoperimetric quantities is explored. Also given are necessary and sufficient conditions for the equivalence between the extremality of some sets in the isoperimetric problem and the validity of some analytic inequalities. The book devotes much attention to: the probability distributions on the real line; the normalized Lebesgue measure on the Euclidean sheres; and the canonical Gaussian measure on the Euclidean space.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir presents an extensive study of strongly continuous actions of abelian locally compact groups on [italic capital]C*-algebras with continuous trace. Expositions of the Mackey-Green-Rieffel machine of induced representations and the theory of Morita equivalent [italic capital]C*-dynamical systems are included. There is also an elaboration of the representation theory of crossed products by actions of abelian groups on type I [italic capital]C*-algebras.
Download or read book Geometry of Loop Spaces and the Cobar Construction written by Hans J. Baues and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1980 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The homology of iterated loop spaces [capital Greek]Omega [superscript]n [italic]X has always been a problem of major interest because it gives some insight into the homotopy of [italic]X, among other things. Therefore, if [italic]X is a CW-complex, one has been interested in small CW models for [capital Greek]Omega [superscript]n [italic]X in order to compute the cellular chain complex. The author proves a very general model theorem from which he can derive models, in addition to very technical proofs of the model theorem for several other models.
Download or read book Model Theory and Linear Extreme Points in the Numerical Radius Unit Ball written by Michael A. Dritschel and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir initiates a model theory-based study of the numerical radius norm. Guided by the abstract model theory of Jim Agler, the authors propose a decomposition for operators that is particularly useful in understanding their properties with respect to the numerical radius norm. Of the topics amenable to investigation with these tools, the following are presented: a complete description of the linear extreme points of the non-matrix (numerical radius) unit ball; several equivalent characterizations of matricial extremals in the unit ball, that is, those members which do not allow a nontrivial extension remaining in the unit ball; and applications to numerical ranges of matrices, including a complete parameterization of all matrices whose numerical ranges are closed disks.
Download or read book Wavelet Methods for Pointwise Regularity and Local Oscillations of Functions written by Stéphane Jaffard and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1996 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We investigate several topics related to the local behavior of functions: pointwise Hölder regularity, local scaling invariance and very oscillatory "chirp-like" behaviors. Our main tool is to relate these notions to two-microlocal conditions which are defined either on the Littlewood-Paley decomposition or on the wavelet transform. We give characterizations and the main properties of these two-microlocal spaces and we give several applications, such as bounds on the dimension of the set of Hölder singularities of a function, Sobolev regularity of trace functions, and chirp expansions of specific functions.
