The St. Petersburg School of Number Theory


Book Description

"The book acquaints the reader with the most important works of these six eminent members of the St. Petersburg school. A short biography is given for each of them, followed by an exposition of some of his most significant contributions. Each contribution is presented as a summary of the author's original work and is followed by commentary. Certain works receive relatively complete expositions, while others are dealt with more briefly." "With a Foreword written for the English edition, this volume will appeal to a broad mathematical audience, including mathematical historians and mathematicians working in number theory."--Jacket.

Lectures on Quantum Mechanics for Mathematics Students


Book Description

Describes the relation between classical and quantum mechanics. This book contains a discussion of problems related to group representation theory and to scattering theory. It intends to give a mathematically oriented student the opportunity to grasp the main points of quantum theory in a mathematical framework.




Lebesgue and Sobolev Spaces with Variable Exponents


Book Description

The field of variable exponent function spaces has witnessed an explosive growth in recent years. The standard reference article for basic properties is already 20 years old. Thus this self-contained monograph collecting all the basic properties of variable exponent Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces is timely and provides a much-needed accessible reference work utilizing consistent notation and terminology. Many results are also provided with new and improved proofs. The book also presents a number of applications to PDE and fluid dynamics.




61th International Mathematical Olympiad


Book Description

The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is the World Math Competition for high school students and is held annually in a different country, establishing itself as the most prestigious Math competition that a high school student can aspire to take part. The first IMO was held in 1959 in Romania, with 7 participating countries. Since then, it has gradually expanded to more than 100 countries on 5 continents. Likewise, the IMO is a great opportunity for students to face original, challenging and interesting math problems; which can be used to measure their level of knowledge before other students from the rest of the world. Among the topics covered by the problems we have: Algebra, Combinatorics, Geometry and Number Theory. In this occasion we make available to the student, a bilingual edition (English-Spanish) of the exam with detailed solutions of the 61th International Mathematical Olympiad held virtually from Saint Petersburg - Russia in September 2020. Additionally, an appendix with problem statements from IMO exams between 2010 and 2019 is included at the end of each section of the book.




Elementary Topology


Book Description

This text contains a detailed introduction to general topology and an introduction to algebraic topology via its most classical and elementary segment. Proofs of theorems are separated from their formulations and are gathered at the end of each chapter, making this book appear like a problem book and also giving it appeal to the expert as a handbook. The book includes about 1,000 exercises.




Mathematical Circles


Book Description

Suitable for both students and teachers who love mathematics and want to study its various branches beyond the limits of school curriculum. This book contains vast theoretical and problem material in main areas of what authors consider to be 'extracurricular mathematics'.




Proceedings of the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society


Book Description

This collection presents new results in algebra, functional analysis, and mathematical physics. In particular, evolution and spectral problems related to small motions of viscoelastic fluid are considered. Specific areas covered in the book include functional equations and functional operator equations from the point of view of the $C*$-algebraic approach, the existence of an isomorphism between certain ideals regarded as Galois modules, spectral problems in singularly perturbed domains, scattering theory, the existence of bounded solutions to the equation $\operatorname{div} u = f$ in a plane domain, and a compactification of a locally compact group. Also given is an historic overview of the mathematical seminars held at St. Petersburg State University. The results, ideas, and methods given in the book will be of interest to a broad range of specialists.




Transformation Groups for Beginners


Book Description

Presents a discussion of algebraic operations on the points in the plane and rigid motions in the Euclidean plane. This work introduces the notions of a transformation group and of an abstract group. It gives an elementary exposition of the basic ideas of Sophus Lie about symmetries of differential equations.




50 Years with Hardy Spaces


Book Description

Written in honor of Victor Havin (1933–2015), this volume presents a collection of surveys and original papers on harmonic and complex analysis, function spaces and related topics, authored by internationally recognized experts in the fields. It also features an illustrated scientific biography of Victor Havin, one of the leading analysts of the second half of the 20th century and founder of the Saint Petersburg Analysis Seminar. A complete list of his publications, as well as his public speech "Mathematics as a source of certainty and uncertainty", presented at the Doctor Honoris Causa ceremony at Linköping University, are also included.
