In celebration of E. B. Dynkin's 70th birthday, this book presents current papers by those who participated in Dynkin's seminar on Lie groups and Lie algebras in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Dynkin had a major influence not only on mathematics, but also on the students who attended his seminar - many of whom are today's leading mathematicians in Russia and in the U.S. Dynkin's contributions to the theory of Lie groups is well known, and the survey paper by Karpelevich, Onishchik, and Vinberg allows readers to gain a deeper understanding of this work. Features several aspects of modern developments in Lie groups and Lie algebras, including...theory of invariants superalgebras arithmetic applications connections with mathematical physics. Providing insight on the extraordinary mathematical traditions that grew out of this important seminar, ""Lie Groups and Lie Algebras"" is a fitting celebration of Dynkin's achievements.

This volume offers an account of the present state of the art in pseudoperiodic topology - a young branch of mathematics, born at the boundary between the ergodic theory of dynamical systems, topology, and number theory. Related topics include the theory of algorithms, convex integer polyhedra, Morse inequalities, real algebraic geometry, statistical physics, and algebraic number theory. The book contains many new results. Most of the articles contain brief surveys on the topics, making the volume accessible to a broad audience. From the Preface by V.I. Arnold: 'The authors...have done much to show how modern mathematics begets, from this sea of pathological counterexamples, remarkable general and universal laws, whose discovery would be unthinkable and whose formulation would be impossible in the naive set-theoretical setting'.

This collection consists of four papers in different areas of mathematical physics united by the intrinsic coherence of the asymptotic methods used. The papers describe both the known results and most recent achievements, as well as new concepts and ideas in mathematical analysis of quantum and wave problems. In the introductory paper 'Quantization and Intrinsic Dynamics', a relationship between quantization of symplectic manifolds and nonlinear wave equations is described and discussed from the viewpoint of the weak asymptotics method (asymptotics in distributions) and the semiclassical approximation method. It also explains a hidden dynamic geometry that arises when using these methods.Three other papers discuss applications of asymptotic methods to the construction of wave-type solutions of nonlinear PDE's, to the theory of semiclassical approximation (in particular, the Whitham method) for nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations, and to the study of the Schrodinger type equations whose potential wells are sufficiently shallow that the discrete spectrum contains precisely one point. All the papers contain detailed references and are oriented not only to specialists in asymptotic methods but also to a wider audience of researchers and graduate students working in partial differential equations and mathematical physics.

This volume contains translations of papers that originally appeared in the Japanese journal ""Sugaku"". The papers range over a variety of topics, including differential equations with free boundary, singular integral operators, operator algebras, and relations between the Brownian motion on a manifold with function theory. The volume is suitable for graduate students and research mathematicians interested in analysis and differential equations.

This book is a collection of papers on dynamical and statistical theory of nonlinear wave propagation in dispersive conservative media. Emphasis is on waves on the surface of an ideal fluid and on Rossby waves in the atmosphere. Although the book deals mainly with weakly nonlinear waves, it is more than simply a description of standard perturbation techniques. The goal is to show that the theory of weakly interacting waves is naturally related to such areas of mathematics as Diophantine equations, differential geometry of waves, Poincare normal forms, and the inverse scattering method.

This and the next volume in the series (see ""TRANS2/219"") consist of articles written on the occasion of the 60th birthday anniversary of the well-known St. Petersburg specialist in number theory Sergey Vostokov. Among the authors are many students and colleagues of Vostokov. The articles are devoted to topics in number theory that are close to Vostokov's scientific interests. The book is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in number theory.

This volume is devoted to the memory of the famous Saint Petersburg mathematician Olga Aleksandrovna Ladyzhenskaya. For many years she ran the Saint Petersburg Seminar on mathematical physics, which became a basis for the scientific school she created. The ten articles in the volume, written by students and colleagues of O. A. Ladyzhenskaya, are mainly devoted to boundary value problems for partial differential equations and to spectral problems for differential operators.

This volume contains articles on analysis, theory of algebraic groups, partial differential equations, pseudodifferential operators, wavelets, and other areas of mathematics.

This volume is dedicated to the eightieth birthday of Professor M. Sh. Birman. It contains original articles in spectral and scattering theory of differential operators, in particular, Schrodinger operators, and in homogenization theory. All articles are written by members of M. Sh. Birman's research group who are affiliated with different universities all over the world. A specific feature of the majority of the papers is a combination of traditional methods with new modern ideas.

This book is a collection of articles devoted to the theory of linear operators in Hilbert spaces and its applications. The subjects covered range from the abstract theory of Toeplitz operators to the analysis of very specific differential operators arising in quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and the theory of elasticity; the stability of numerical methods is also discussed. Many of the articles deal with spectral problems for not necessarily selfadjoint operators. Some of the articles are surveys outlining the current state of the subject and presenting open problems.|This book is a collection of articles devoted to the theory of linear operators in Hilbert spaces and its applications.
