Download or read book Raoul Bott Collected Papers written by Loring W. Tu and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2018-03-26 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the fifth and final volume of Raoul Bott’s Collected Papers. It collects all of Bott’s published articles since 1991 as well as some articles published earlier but missing in the earlier volumes. The volume also contains interviews with Raoul Bott, several of his previously unpublished speeches, commentaries by his collaborators such as Alberto Cattaneo and Jonathan Weitsman on their joint articles with Bott, Michael Atiyah’s obituary of Raoul Bott, Loring Tu’s authorized biography of Raoul Bott, and reminiscences of Raoul Bott by his friends, students, colleagues, and collaborators, among them Stephen Smale, David Mumford, Arthur Jaffe, Shing-Tung Yau, and Loring Tu. The mathematical articles, many inspired by physics, encompass stable vector bundles, knot and manifold invariants, equivariant cohomology, and loop spaces. The nonmathematical contributions give a sense of Bott’s approach to mathematics, style, personality, zest for life, and humanity. In one of the articles, from the vantage point of his later years, Raoul Bott gives a tour-de-force historical account of one of his greatest achievements, the Bott periodicity theorem. A large number of the articles originally appeared in hard-to-find conference proceedings or journals. This volume makes them all easily accessible. It also features a collection of photographs giving a panoramic view of Raoul Bott's life and his interaction with other mathematicians.

Book excerpt: Each of the four volumes that comprise the Collected Papers covers roughly a decade of work and is centered around a different subject: Vol.1: Topology and Lie Groups (the 1950s) [3613-7]; Vol.2: Differential Operators (the 1960s) [3646-3]; Vol.3: Foliations (the 1970s) [3647-1]; and Vol.4: Mathematics Related to Physics (the 1980s) [3648-X]. A number of essays on Bott's life and work were written especially for these volumes. Each volume has a separate mathematical introduction. There are accounts of the mathematical legacy of some of the individual papers, by experts in the fields that these papers inaugurated. In addition, Bott provides a personal account of each individual paper. He also provides some articles which recount periods in his personal life.

Book excerpt: The Collected Papers of Raoul Bott are contained in five volumes, with each volume covering a different subject and each representing approximately a decade of Bott's work.

In the early 1960's, Bott, along with Atiyah, Hirzebruch, and Singer, brought about a revolution in this subject. It was an important development for twentieth century mathematics relying extensively on K-theory, as developed by Atiyah and Hirzebruch following the lead of Grothendieck in algebraic geometry, which in turn, depended on Bott's Periodicity Theorem (originally proved in Volume 1, and reproved in papers [33] and [35] of this volume).

Download or read book Differential Forms in Algebraic Topology written by Raoul Bott and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developed from a first-year graduate course in algebraic topology, this text is an informal introduction to some of the main ideas of contemporary homotopy and cohomology theory. The materials are structured around four core areas: de Rham theory, the Cech-de Rham complex, spectral sequences, and characteristic classes. By using the de Rham theory of differential forms as a prototype of cohomology, the machineries of algebraic topology are made easier to assimilate. With its stress on concreteness, motivation, and readability, this book is equally suitable for self-study and as a one-semester course in topology.
