By Kai Cieliebak, Yakov Eliashberg

This publication is dedicated to the interaction among complicated and symplectic geometry in affine complicated manifolds. Affine complicated (a.k.a. Stein) manifolds have canonically outfitted into them symplectic geometry that is liable for many phenomena in advanced geometry and research. The aim of the publication is the exploration of this symplectic geometry (the highway from "Stein to Weinstein") and its functions within the complicated geometric global of Stein manifolds (the street "back"). this is often the 1st e-book which systematically explores this connection, hence offering a brand new method of the classical topic of Stein manifolds. It additionally comprises the 1st certain research of Weinstein manifolds, the symplectic opposite numbers of Stein manifolds, which play a big position in symplectic and phone topology. Assuming just a basic historical past from differential topology, the booklet presents introductions to many of the suggestions from the idea of services of numerous complicated variables, symplectic geometry, h-principles, and Morse thought that input the proofs of the most effects. the most result of the ebook are unique result of the authors, and a number of other of those effects look right here for the 1st time. The ebook might be priceless for all scholars and mathematicians attracted to geometric elements of complicated research, symplectic and speak to topology, and the interconnections among those topics.

Matrix Information Geometry

-Presents advances in matrix and tensor facts processing within the area of sign, photograph and knowledge processing
-Written via specialists within the components of theoretical arithmetic or engineering sciences
-Discusses strength purposes in sensor and cognitive platforms engineering

This ebook is an final result of the Indo-French Workshop on Matrix info Geometries (MIG): purposes in Sensor and Cognitive platforms Engineering, which used to be held in Ecole Polytechnique and Thales examine and know-how middle, Palaiseau, France, in February 23-25, 2011. The workshop was once generously funded via the Indo-French Centre for the advertising of complicated study (IFCPAR). in the course of the occasion, 22 popular invited french or indian audio system gave lectures on their components of workmanship in the box of matrix research or processing. From those talks, a complete of 17 unique contribution or state of the art chapters were assembled during this quantity. All articles have been completely peer-reviewed and enhanced, in accordance with the feedback of the overseas referees. The 17 contributions offered are prepared in 3 elements: (1) state of the art surveys & unique matrix thought paintings, (2) complex matrix concept for radar processing, and (3) Matrix-based sign processing functions.

Konvexe Analysis

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.

A treatise on the geometry of the circle and some extensions to conic sections by the method of reciprocation, with numerous examples.

Leopold is extremely joyful to post this vintage ebook as a part of our large vintage Library assortment. some of the books in our assortment were out of print for many years, and for this reason haven't been available to most of the people. the purpose of our publishing application is to facilitate quick entry to this huge reservoir of literature, and our view is this is an important literary paintings, which merits to be introduced again into print after many many years.

Topics in Ergodic Theory.

This e-book issues components of ergodic idea which are now being intensively built. the themes contain entropy idea (with emphasis on dynamical structures with multi-dimensional time), parts of the renormalization crew strategy within the conception of dynamical platforms, splitting of separatrices, and a few difficulties relating to the speculation of hyperbolic dynamical structures.

From families of hypersurfaces to J-convex functions The following result shows that a continuous family of J-convex hypersurfaces transverse to the same vector field gives rise to a smooth function with regular J-convex level sets. This will be extremely useful for the construction of J-convex functions with prescribed critical points. 4. 25. Let (M ×[0, 1], J) be a compact complex manifold such that M × {0} and M × {1} are J-convex cooriented by ∂r , where r is the coordinate on [0, 1]. Suppose there exists a smooth family (Σλ )λ∈[0,1] of J-convex hypersurfaces transverse to ∂r with Σ0 = M × {0} and Σ1 = M × {1}.

Then ∇ϑ ϑ = µ∇φ φ on L for a positive function µ : L → R+ (f ) Assume in addition that r∂r φ ≥ µr2 and r∂r ψ ≥ µr2 , where r is the distance from L with respect to some Hermitian metric and µ > 0 a constant. Then we can arrange that r∂r ϑ ≥ µr2 /2. 27. 26, φ and ϑ can be connected by the family of J-convex functions φt := (1−t)φ+tϑ, t ∈ [0, 1], satisfying properties (b-f). (ii) If L is Lagrangian and ∇φ φ and ∇ψ ψ are tangent to L, then so is ∇ϑ ϑ. This follows from the observation that tangency of ∇φ φ to L for L Lagrangian is equivalent to vanishing of dφ◦J on L, which is preserved under convex combinations.

G. 6]), this inequality is equivalent to ∆ψ(z) ≥ 0 in the distributional sense, and therefore to ∆φ(z) ≥ 41 m(z)∆w |w−z|2 = m(z). ψ(z) ≤ Now let (V, J) be an almost complex manifold. A complex curve in V is a 1dimensional complex submanifold of (V, J). Note that the restriction of the almost complex structure J to a complex curve is always integrable. 2. A C 2 -function φ on an almost complex manifold (V, J) is J-convex if and only if its restriction to every complex curve is subharmonic. Proof.
