This textbook provides a thorough overview of bifurcation theory. Assuming some familiarity with differential equations and dynamical systems, it is suitable for use on advanced undergraduate and graduate level and can, in particular, be used for a graduate course on bifurcation theory. The book combines a solid theoretical basis with a detailed ......
The roots of the modern theories of differential and $q$-difference equations go back in part to an article by George D. Birkhoff, published in 1913, dealing with the three ""sister theories"" of differential, difference and $q$-difference equations. This book is about $q$-difference equations and focuses on techniques inspired by differential ......
Automorphism groups of Riemann surfaces have been widely studied for almost 150 years. This area has persisted in part because it has close ties to many other topics of interest such as number theory, graph theory, mapping class groups, and geometric and computational group theory. In recent years there has been a major revival in this area due in ......
For a finite group G, we denote by ?(G) the number of Aut(G)-orbits on G, and by o(G) the number of distinct element orders in G. In this paper, we are primarily concerned with the two quantities d(G) := ?(G) ? o(G) and q(G) := ?(G)/ o(G), each of which may be viewed as a measure for how far G is from being an AT-group in the sense of Zhang (that ......
The Langlands program has been a very active and central field in mathematics ever since its conception over 50 years ago. It connects number theory, representation theory and arithmetic geometry, and other fields in a profound way. There are nevertheless very few expository accounts beyond the GL(2) case. This book features expository accounts of ......
This book is a continuation of Asymptotic Geometric Analysis, Part I, which was published as volume 202 in this series. Asymptotic geometric analysis studies properties of geometric objects, such as normed spaces, convex bodies, or convex functions, when the dimensions of these objects increase to infinity. The asymptotic approach reveals many ......
The Memoirs of the AMS is devoted to the publication of new research in all areas of pure and applied mathematics. The Memoirs is designed particularly to publish long papers of groups of cognate papers in book form, and is under the supervision of the Editorial Committee of the AMS journal Transactions of the American Mathematical Society. All ......
