On the social gathering of the 60th birthday of Andre Lichnerowicz a few his buddies, a lot of whom were his scholars or coworkers, made up our minds to have a good time this occasion by means of getting ready a jubilee quantity of contributed articles within the major fields of analysis marked via Lichnerowicz's paintings, particularly differential geometry and mathematical physics. boundaries of house and time didn't permit us to incorporate papers from all Lichnerowicz's associates nor from all his former scholars. It was once both very unlikely to mirror in one publication the nice number of matters tackled by way of Lichnerowicz. despite those obstacles, we are hoping that this booklet displays a number of the current traits of fields within which he labored, and a few of the themes to which he contributed in his lengthy - and never but comprehensive - profession. This profession used to be greatly marked via the impression of his masters, Elie Cartan who brought him to analyze in arithmetic, commonly in geometry and its family with mathematical physics, and Georges Darmois who built his curiosity for mechanics and physics, particularly the idea of relativity and electromagnetism. This par ticular blend, and his own expertise, made up of him a usual clinical inheritor and continuator of the French mathematical physics college within the culture of Henri Poincare. a few of his works might also be most sensible certified via a brand new box identify, that of actual ma thematics: branches of natural arithmetic completely inspired by means of physics.

This booklet is an final result of the Indo-French Workshop on Matrix details Geometries (MIG): functions in Sensor and Cognitive platforms Engineering, which used to be held in Ecole Polytechnique and Thales examine and know-how heart, Palaiseau, France, in February 23-25, 2011. The workshop was once generously funded through the Indo-French Centre for the advertising of complicated examine (IFCPAR). throughout the occasion, 22 popular invited french or indian audio system gave lectures on their components of craftsmanship in the box of matrix research or processing. From those talks, a complete of 17 unique contribution or cutting-edge chapters were assembled during this quantity. All articles have been completely peer-reviewed and better, based on the feedback of the foreign referees. The 17 contributions offered are equipped in 3 components: (1) state of the art surveys & unique matrix thought paintings, (2) complicated matrix conception for radar processing, and (3) Matrix-based sign processing functions.
Der Autor beabsichtigt, mit dem vorliegenden Lehrbuch eine gründliche Einführung in die Theorie der konvexen Mengen und der konvexen Funk tionen zu geben. Das Buch ist aus einer Folge von drei in den Jahren 1971 bis 1973 an der Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule in Zürich gehaltenen Vorlesungen hervorgegangen.
Leopold is extremely joyful to submit this vintage publication as a part of our large vintage Library assortment. the various books in our assortment were out of print for many years, and hence haven't been available to most people. the purpose of our publishing application is to facilitate quick entry to this massive reservoir of literature, and our view is this is an important literary paintings, which merits to be introduced again into print after many a long time.
This booklet issues components of ergodic conception which are now being intensively constructed. the themes comprise entropy conception (with emphasis on dynamical platforms with multi-dimensional time), parts of the renormalization team process within the idea of dynamical structures, splitting of separatrices, and a few difficulties concerning the speculation of hyperbolic dynamical structures.

Example text
Note that the Killing vector fields in Lemma 2 generate a torus group since I(M) is compact by Lemma 3, and this fact is consistent with the structure theorem in [5]. In connection with the conjecture stated in § 1, we can ask if the following complex analogue of Lemma 1 is true. If M is a complete Kahler manifold with finite volume, are all plurisubharmonic functions on M constant? If this is true, we obtain the complex analogue of Lemma 2 to the effect that on a complete Kahler manifold of nonpositive holomorphic bisectional curvature with finite volume every holomorphic vector field is parallel.
