This issue of Cardiology Clinics, guest edited by Drs. Benjamin A. Steinberg and Jonathan P. Piccini, will focus on Atrial Fibrillation in Heart Failure. Topics include, but are not limited to Epidemiology of Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure, Pathophysiology, Unmet clinical needs and future trials, Randomized clinical trials of catheter ablation for the treatment of Atrial Fibrillation/Heart Failure, AF ablation, role for digitalis, His-bundle pacing, Role of ivabradine for rate control, Novel Ablation Approaches for Challenging AF Cases, Imaging for risk stratification in AF/HF, Management of advanced left atrial myopathy, LV systolic function, patient-reported outcomes, Stroke prevention in AF and HF, Prediction and management of recurrences after catheter ablation in AF/HF, and Mechanisms of improved mortality following ablation.

Discoveries in finite semigroups have influenced several mathematical fields, including theoretical computer science, tropical algebra via matrix theory with coefficients in semirings, and other areas of modern algebra. This comprehensive, encyclopedic text will provide the reader - from the graduate student to the researcher/practitioner – with a detailed understanding of modern finite semigroup theory, focusing in particular on advanced topics on the cutting edge of research.Key features: (1) Develops q-theory, a new theory that provides a unifying approach to finite semigroup theory via quantization; (2) Contains the only contemporary exposition of the complete theory of the complexity of finite semigroups; (3) Introduces spectral theory into finite semigroup theory; (4) Develops the theory of profinite semigroups from first principles, making connections with spectra of Boolean algebras of regular languages; (5) Presents over 70 research problems, most new, and hundreds of exercises.Additional features: (1) For newcomers, an appendix on elementary finite semigroup theory; (2) Extensive bibliography and index.The q-theory of Finite Semigroups presents important techniques and results, many for the first time in book form, and thereby updates and modernizes the literature of semigroup theory.

This book is intended to present group representation theory at a level accessible to mature undergraduate students and beginning graduate students. This is achieved by mainly keeping the required background to the level of undergraduate linear algebra, group theory and very basic ring theory.

This book contains a collection of fifteen articles and is dedicated to the sixtieth birthdays of Lex Renner and Mohan Putcha, the pioneers of the field of algebraic monoids.Topics presented include:structure and representation theory of reductive algebraic monoidsmonoid schemes and applications of monoidsmonoids related to Lie theoryequivariant embeddings of algebraic groupsconstructions and properties of monoids from algebraic combinatoricsendomorphism monoids induced from vector bundlesHodge–Newton decompositions of reductive monoidsA portion of these articles are designed to serve as a self-contained introduction to these topics, while the remaining contributions are research articles containing previously unpublished results, which are sure to become very influential for future work. Among these, for example, the important recent work of Michel Brion and Lex Renner showing that the algebraic semi groups are strongly π-regular.Graduate students as well as researchers working in the fields of algebraic (semi)group theory, algebraic combinatorics and the theory of algebraic group embeddings will benefit from this unique and broad compilation of some fundamental results in (semi)group theory, algebraic group embeddings and algebraic combinatorics merged under the umbrella of algebraic monoids.

This reference discusses how automata and language theory can be used to understand solutions to solving equations in groups and word problems in groups. Examples presented include, how Fine scale complexity theory has entered group theory via these connections and how cellular automata, has been generalized into a group theoretic setting. Chapters written by experts in group theory and computer science explain these connections.
