University Texts in the Mathematical Sciences - Böcker

This core textbook on functional analysis is intended for senior undergraduates and graduate mathematics students. It is suitable for both classrooms and for self-study. The first in a two-volume series presents all the basic material needed for a solid foundation in the subject. It opens with a concise overview of the historical evolution of the subject and goes on to present foundational material in a clear, succinct manner, integrating original source quotes to enrich the narrative and blending the historical perspectives harmoniously with the flow of the subject. Pedagogically, the short chapters are more conducive for learning, and each chapter concludes with applications (including some unusual ones) to diverse fields and exercises to hone students’ understanding. The applications can also serve as sources for student seminars. Various formulations of the spectral theorem and their equivalence are discussed. Different approaches to some important results are presented to enrich the toolkit of the students. The style is neither terse nor verbose, requiring occasional paper-pencil work from the reader. The bibliography is rich and includes all the original works of the founding fathers. Thumbnail biographies of the mathematicians involved should pep up the readers.

This book introduces the theory of univalent functions, focusing on the key subclasses of starlike, convex and close-to-convex functions. These subclasses play a central role in the study of geometric function theory. The book begins with the general class of univalent functions and studies their basic properties. It then explores essential mathematical tools, including results on growth, distortion and coefficients for bounded analytic functions, as well as the theory of functions with positive real parts and differential subordination. The last three chapters delve into starlike, convex and close-to-convex functions, presenting key results on coefficient bounds, growth, distortion estimates and subordination theorems.Designed for graduate students and early-stage researchers, the book requires minimal prerequisites of a basic course in complex analysis. Detailed proofs have been provided for all results, ensuring that readers can follow the logical development of the material. Exercises given at the end of each chapter offer opportunities for further study and deeper understanding of the concepts. This book serves as both a textbook and a resource for those beginning research in geometric function theory. Its accessible style, coupled with its clear explanations and motivating examples, makes it an ideal choice for anyone looking to explore the fascinating world of univalent functions.

The basic topics of the subject that every analyst should know are discussed in the first volume. This second part ‘Select Topics’ provides glimpses of some beautiful vistas of the functional analytic terrain that a reader may like to explore and enjoy. Introductions to these topics, including those of current interest, with pointers to further edification are provided. An author, with various constraints, necessarily faces a Hamletian dilemma in choosing the topics for such a work. The choices made here are: a little Fourier analysis (Lp, Schwartz and Sobolev spaces, Fourier transform and tempered distributions, interpolation, spectral synthesis), some operator theory (compact, Hilbert-Schmidt, trace class, Fredholm and Toeplitz operators, spectral theorem, invariant subpaces), operator algebras (commutative Banach algebras, C∗algebras, von Neumann algebras and operator spaces), Gabor analysis (Hilbert frames, Gabor frames, Riesz bases, wavelets), Banach space geometry, Schauder bases and functional analytic methods in PDE (scattered throughout the book). It also gives some unusual applications. Several mini courses and projects are possible based on the book, besides an advanced course in Functional Analysis. A historical perspective blending harmoniously with the flow, a clear succinct style that is not terse nor verbose and biographic thumbnails continue. The bibliography is extensive and includes all original sources.

Designed for senior undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, this textbook offers a comprehensive exploration of measure theory and integration. It acts as a pivotal link bridging the Riemann integral and the Lebesgue integral, with a primary focus on tracing the evolution of measure and integration from their historical roots. A distinctive feature of the book is meticulous guidance, providing a step-by-step journey through the subject matter, thus rendering complex concepts more accessible to beginners. A fundamental grasp of differential and integral calculus, as well as Riemann integration, is recommended to ensure a smoother comprehension of the material.This textbook comprises 10 well-structured chapters, each thoughtfully organized to lead students from fundamental principles to advanced complexities. Beginning with the establishment of Lebesgue’s measure on the real line and an introduction to measurable functions, the book then delves into exploring the cardinalities of various set classes. As readers progress, the subtleties of the Lebesgue integral emerge, showcasing its generalization of the Riemann integral and its unique characteristics in higher dimensions.One of the book’s distinctive aspects is its indepth comparison of the Lebesgue integral, improper Riemann integral, and Newton integral, shedding light on their distinct qualities and relative independence. Subsequent chapters delve into the realm of general measures, Lebesgue-Stieltje's measure, Hausdorff ’s measure, and the concept of measure and integration in product spaces. Furthermore, the book delves into function spaces, such as 𝘓𝘱 spaces, and navigates the intricacies of signed and complex measures, providing students with a comprehensive foundation in this vital area of mathematics.

Primarily designed for graduate students of mathematics, this textbook delves into Naïve set theory, offering valuable insights for senior undergraduate students and researchers specializing in set theory. Commencing with a comprehensive exploration of functions and relations, the book extends its coverage to various applications of Naïve set theory across multiple mathematical branches, including real analysis, linear and abstract algebra, general topology, and introductory aspects of complex analysis and measure theory. The text meticulously introduces cardinal and ordinal numbers, along with transfinite induction, following the natural progression discovered by Cantor during his examination of trigonometric series. While this book provides a solid foundation, students intrigued by set theory for its intrinsic value should recognize that the subject extends far beyond the scope of this text.
