Download Two Reports on Harmonic Maps by James Eells PDF

By James Eells

Harmonic maps among Riemannian manifolds are options of platforms of partial differential equations which seem in several contexts of differential geometry. They comprise holomorphic maps, minimum surfaces, delta-models in physics. lately, they've got develop into robust instruments within the examine of world houses of Riemannian and Kahlerian manifolds. general references for this topic are reviews, released in 1978 and 1988 through James Eells and Luc Lemaire. This e-book provides those experiences in one quantity with a quick complement reporting on a few contemporary advancements within the conception. it's either an advent to the topic and a resource of reference, supplying an geared up exposition of effects unfold all through greater than 800 papers.

Matrix Information Geometry

-Presents advances in matrix and tensor info processing within the area of sign, photograph and data processing
-Written through specialists within the components of theoretical arithmetic or engineering sciences
-Discusses strength functions in sensor and cognitive structures engineering

This booklet is an final result of the Indo-French Workshop on Matrix details Geometries (MIG): purposes in Sensor and Cognitive platforms Engineering, which was once held in Ecole Polytechnique and Thales learn and know-how heart, Palaiseau, France, in February 23-25, 2011. The workshop was once generously funded via the Indo-French Centre for the promoting of complex study (IFCPAR). throughout 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 cutting-edge chapters were assembled during this quantity. All articles have been completely peer-reviewed and more advantageous, in line with the feedback of the overseas referees. The 17 contributions offered are equipped in 3 elements: (1) state of the art surveys & unique matrix conception paintings, (2) complicated matrix concept for radar processing, and (3) Matrix-based sign processing purposes.

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 submit this vintage publication as a part of our broad vintage Library assortment. the various books in our assortment were out of print for many years, and as a result haven't been available to most of the people. the purpose of our publishing application is to facilitate quick entry to this enormous 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.

Topics in Ergodic Theory.

This booklet issues parts of ergodic concept which are now being intensively built. the themes contain entropy conception (with emphasis on dynamical structures with multi-dimensional time), parts of the renormalization staff technique within the idea of dynamical platforms, splitting of separatrices, and a few difficulties regarding the idea of hyperbolic dynamical platforms.

Example text

Given J on the bundle V we extend it by C-linearity to an endomorphism Jc of V'. Since (Jc)2 = -Id, it determines eigenbundles V', V" associated with the eigenvalues ± i; and we have the direct sum decomposition Vc = V' ® V". ) There is a similar decomposition of the dual bundle (V *)c; and these induce decompositions of the various tensor product bundles. In particular, A'(V *)c = p+4=r F, VP. 9 l / with V'- ° = V' and V °' 1 = V ". 3) An Hermitian metric on (ti, J) -+ M is a Riemannian metric a such that x = ax(u, v) = ax(Ju, Jv) for all u, v e VX.

A holomorphic map 0: M -> P1(C) = S2 is just a meromorphic function. The Riemann-Roch theorem and the theory of Weierstrass points give much information concerning their existence. For instance, (1) there is no meromorphic function of Brouwer degree d = 1 on a Riemann surface of genus p > 1; (2) if p = 1 or 2, then such functions exist for all d > 2; (3) if p 3 3, then such functions exist for all d > p+ 1. 38 38 J. EELLS AND L. , there is a meromorphic function of degree 2), then all even degrees are represented, but no odd d < p.

5) below. For n > 3 the energy functional has infimum 0, and hence does not achieve its absolute minimum in any com- ponent of degree k 4 0 [45]. In fact, the pth harmonic suspension constructed above has Morse index > p for p = 5, 6 [206]. 5) with m = 26. We also have harmonic maps of degree ±4 for n = 15, 27, 51; and harmonic maps of all even degrees for n=9. By various such manipulations applied to the examples above we can obtain other harmonic maps between spheres representing nontrivial homotopy classes [212].
