Spherical CR Geometry and Dehn Surgery
Häftad, 2007
1318 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book proves an analogue of William Thurston's celebrated hyperbolic Dehn surgery theorem in the context of complex hyperbolic discrete groups, and then derives two main geometric consequences from it. The first is the construction of large numbers of closed real hyperbolic 3-manifolds which …
Outer Billiards on Kites
Häftad, 2009
1464 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Outer billiards is a basic dynamical system defined relative to a convex shape in the plane. B. H. Neumann introduced this system in the 1950s, and J. Moser popularized it as a toy model for celestial mechanics. All along, the so-called Moser-Neumann question has been one of the central problems in …

Gallery of the Infinite is a mathematician's unique view of the infinitely many sizes of infinity. Written in a playful yet informative style, it introduces important concepts from set theory (including the Cantor Diagonalization Method and the Cantor-Bernstein Theorem) using colorful pictures, …
Projective Heat Map
Inbunden, 2017
1546 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book introduces a simple dynamical model for a planar heat map that is invariant under projective transformations. The map is defined by iterating a polygon map, where one starts with a finite planar $N$-gon and produces a new $N$-gon by a prescribed geometric construction. One of the appeals …
