Twelve papers in algebra


Book Description

Translations of articles on mathematics appearing in various Russian mathematical serials.




Selected Papers on Number Theory, Algebraic Geometry, and Differential Geometry


Book Description

This book presents papers that originally appeared in the Japanese journal Sugaku. The papers explore the relationship between number theory, algebraic geometry, and differential geometry.







Selected Papers on Analysis, Probability, and Statistics


Book Description

This book presents papers in the general area of mathematical analysis as it pertains to probability and statistics, dynamical systems, differential equations, and analytic function theory. Among the topics discussed are: stochastic differential equations, spectra of the Laplacian and Schrödinger operators, nonlinear partial differential equations which generate dissipative dynamical systems, fractal analysis on self-similar sets, and the global structure of analytic functions.




Selected topics in discrete mathematics: Proceedings of the Moscow Discrete Mathematics Seminar, 1972-1990


Book Description

This is a collection of translations of a variety of papers on discrete mathematics by members of the Moscow Seminar on Discrete Mathematics. This seminar, begun in 1972, was marked by active participation and intellectual ferment. Mathematicians in the USSR often encountered difficulties in publishing, so many interesting results in discrete mathematics remained unknown in the West for some years, and some are unknown even to the present day. To help fill this communication gap, this collection offers papers that were obscurely published and very hard to find. Among the topics covered here are: graph theory, network flow and multicommodity flow, linear programming and combinatorial optimization, matroid theory and submodular systems, matrix theory and combinatorics, parallel computing, complexity of algorithms, random graphs and statistical mechanics, coding theory, and algebraic combinatorics and group theory.




Proceedings of the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society, Volume I


Book Description

This is the inaugural volume of a new book series published under the auspices of the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society. The book contains contributions by some of the leading mathematicians in St. Petersburg. Ranging over a wide array of topics, these papers testify to the diverse interests and productive mathematical life of the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society.







Proceedings of the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society Volume III


Book Description

Books in this series highlight some of the most interesting works presented at symposia sponsored by the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society. Aimed at researchers in number theory, field theory, and algebraic geometry, the present volume deals primarily with aspects of the theory of higher local fields and other types of complete discretely valuated fields. Most of the papers require background in local class field theory and algebraic $K$-theory; however, two of them, ``Unit Fractions'' and ``Collections of Multiple Sums'', would be accessible to undergraduates.




Singularity Theory and Some Problems of Functional Analysis


Book Description

The emergence of singularity theory marks the return of mathematics to the study of the simplest analytical objects: functions, graphs, curves, surfaces. The modern singularity theory for smooth mappings, which is currently undergoing intensive developments, can be thought of as a crossroad where the most abstract topics (such as algebraic and differential geometry and topology, complex analysis, invariant theory, and Lie group theory) meet the most applied topics (such as dynamical systems, mathematical physics, geometrical optics, mathematical economics, and control theory). The papers in this volume include reviews of established areas as well as presentations of recent results in singularity theory. The authors have paid special attention to examples and discussion of results rather than burying the ideas in formalism, notation, and technical details. The aim is to introduce all mathematicians - as well as physicists, engineers, and other consumers of singularity theory - to the world of ideas and methods in this burgeoning area.
