Book Description
This volume is an outgrowth of the research project "The Inverse Ga lois Problem and its Application to Number Theory" which was carried out in three academic years from 1999 to 2001 with the support of the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B) (1) No. 11440013. In September, 2001, an international conference "Galois Theory and Modular Forms" was held at Tokyo Metropolitan University after some preparatory work shops and symposia in previous years. The title of this book came from that of the conference, and the authors were participants of those meet All of the articles here were critically refereed by experts. Some of ings. these articles give well prepared surveys on branches of research areas, and many articles aim to bear the latest research results accompanied with carefully written expository introductions. When we started our re~earch project, we picked up three areas to investigate under the key word "Galois groups"; namely, "generic poly nomials" to be applied to number theory, "Galois coverings of algebraic curves" to study new type of representations of absolute Galois groups, and explicitly described "Shimura varieties" to understand well the Ga lois structures of some interesting polynomials including Brumer's sextic for the alternating group of degree 5. The topics of the articles in this volume are widely spread as a result. At a first glance, some readers may think this book somewhat unfocussed.
Analysis On Fock Spaces And Mathematical Theory Of Quantum Fields: An Introduction To Mathematical Analysis Of Quantum Fields (Second Edition)
Author : Asao Arai
Publisher : World Scientific
Page : 1115 pages
File Size : 18,13 MB
Release : 2024-09-03
Category : Mathematics
ISBN : 9811288453
Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Fock space theory and its applications to mathematical quantum field theory. The first half of the book, Part I, is devoted to detailed descriptions of analysis on abstract Fock spaces (full Fock space, boson Fock space, fermion Fock space and boson-fermion Fock space). It includes the mathematics of second quantization, representation theory of canonical commutation and anti-commutation relations, Bogoliubov transformations, infinite-dimensional Dirac operators and supersymmetric quantum field in an abstract form. The second half of the book, Part II, covers applications of the mathematical theories in Part I to quantum field theory. Four kinds of free quantum fields are constructed and detailed analyses are made. A simple interacting quantum field model, called the van Hove-Miyatake model, is fully analyzed in an abstract form. Moreover, a list of interacting quantum field models is presented and an introductory description to each model is given. In this second edition, a new chapter (Chapter 15) is added to describe a mathematical theory of spontaneous symmetry breaking which is an important subject in modern quantum physics.This book is a good introductory text for graduate students in mathematics or physics who are interested in the mathematical aspects of quantum field theory. It is also well-suited for self-study, providing readers a firm foundation of knowledge and mathematical techniques for more advanced books and current research articles in the field of mathematical analysis on quantum fields. Numerous problems are added to aid readers in developing a deeper understanding of the field.

Book Description
Infinite-dimensional analysis and quantum probability have undergone significant developments in the last few years and created many applications. This volume includes four expository articles on recent developments in quantum field theory, quantum stochastic differential equations, free probability and quantum white noise calculus, which are targeted also for graduate study. The fourteen research papers deal with most of the current topics, and their interconnections reflect a vivid development in interacting Fock space, infinite-dimensional groups, stochastic independence, non-commutative central limit theorems, stochastic geometry, and so on.
Automorphic Forms and Geometry of Arithmetic Varieties
Author : K. Hashimoto
Publisher : Academic Press
Page : 540 pages
File Size : 46,30 MB
Release : 2014-07-14
Category : Mathematics
ISBN : 1483218074
Book Description
Automorphic Forms and Geometry of Arithmetic Varieties deals with the dimension formulas of various automorphic forms and the geometry of arithmetic varieties. The relation between two fundamental methods of obtaining dimension formulas (for cusp forms), the Selberg trace formula and the index theorem (Riemann-Roch's theorem and the Lefschetz fixed point formula), is examined. Comprised of 18 sections, this volume begins by discussing zeta functions associated with cones and their special values, followed by an analysis of cusps on Hilbert modular varieties and values of L-functions. The reader is then introduced to the dimension formula of Siegel modular forms; the graded rings of modular forms in several variables; and Selberg-Ihara's zeta function for p-adic discrete groups. Subsequent chapters focus on zeta functions of finite graphs and representations of p-adic groups; invariants and Hodge cycles; T-complexes and Ogata's zeta zero values; and the structure of the icosahedral modular group. This book will be a useful resource for mathematicians and students of mathematics.

Book Description
In 1996 the AMS awarded Goro Shimura the Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement :" To Goro Shimura for his important and extensive work on arithmetical geometry and automorphic forms; concepts introduced by him were often seminal, and fertile ground for new developments, as witnessed by the many notations in number theory that carry his name and that have long been familiar to workers in the field." 103 of Shimura ́s most important papers are collected in four volumes. Volume III contains his mathematical papers from 1978 to 1988 and some notes to the articles.

Diffusion, Quantum Theory, and Radically Elementary Mathematics. (MN-47)
Author : William G. Faris
Publisher : Princeton University Press
Page : 257 pages
File Size : 15,28 MB
Release : 2014-09-08
Category : Mathematics
ISBN : 1400865255
Book Description
Diffusive motion--displacement due to the cumulative effect of irregular fluctuations--has been a fundamental concept in mathematics and physics since Einstein's work on Brownian motion. It is also relevant to understanding various aspects of quantum theory. This book explains diffusive motion and its relation to both nonrelativistic quantum theory and quantum field theory. It shows how diffusive motion concepts lead to a radical reexamination of the structure of mathematical analysis. The book's inspiration is Princeton University mathematics professor Edward Nelson's influential work in probability, functional analysis, nonstandard analysis, stochastic mechanics, and logic. The book can be used as a tutorial or reference, or read for pleasure by anyone interested in the role of mathematics in science. Because of the application of diffusive motion to quantum theory, it will interest physicists as well as mathematicians. The introductory chapter describes the interrelationships between the various themes, many of which were first brought to light by Edward Nelson. In his writing and conversation, Nelson has always emphasized and relished the human aspect of mathematical endeavor. In his intellectual world, there is no sharp boundary between the mathematical, the cultural, and the spiritual. It is fitting that the final chapter provides a mathematical perspective on musical theory, one that reveals an unexpected connection with some of the book's main themes.
