Further Developments in Fractals and Related Fields Mathematical Foundations and Connections


Free Download Further Developments in Fractals and Related Fields: Mathematical Foundations and Connections By Pierre Arnoux, à těpán Starosta (auth.), Julien Barral, Stéphane Seuret (eds.)
2013 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 0817683992 | PDF | 4 MB
This volume, following in the tradition of a similar 2010 publication by the same editors, is an outgrowth of an international conference, "Fractals and Related Fields II," held in June 2011. The book provides readers with an overview of developments in the mathematical fields related to fractals, including original research contributions as well as surveys from many of the leading experts on modern fractal theory and applications. The chapters cover fields related to fractals such as:*geometric measure theory*ergodic theory*dynamical systems*harmonic and functional analysis*number theory*probability theoryFurther Developments in Fractals and Related Fields is aimed at pure and applied mathematicians working in the above-mentioned areas as well as other researchers interested in discovering the fractal domain. Throughout the volume, readers will find interesting and motivating results as well as new avenues for further research.

Geometric Quantization and Applications to Fields and Fluids


Free Download Geometric Quantization and Applications to Fields and Fluids
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031658000 | 139 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 8 MB
This open access book explains geometric quantization from a physicist’s perspective. After presenting the general formalism, it delves into several examples reflecting current research interests in high-energy physics and condensed matter physics. Applications explore Chern-Simons theory, theta vacuum, the Hall effect, fluid dynamics, and elements of noncommutative geometry.

GenderChange in Academia Re-Mapping the Fields of Work, Knowledge, and Politics from a Gender Perspective


Free Download GenderChange in Academia: Re-Mapping the Fields of Work, Knowledge, and Politics from a Gender Perspective By Lutz Stratmann (auth.), Birgit Riegraf, Brigitte Aulenbacher, Edit Kirsch-Auwärter, Ursula Müller (eds.)
2010 | 458 Pages | ISBN: 3531168320 | PDF | 2 MB
Implementing the goals of the Bologna declaration means a completely new organization of study programmes, working conditions and the production of knowledge aiming at the harmonization of the European Scientific Area. The new entrepreneurial university is making efforts to increase economic efficiency, transparency and to offer new forms of services in academic teaching and research. More or less vehement debates deal with the question if and to which extent this process will change the original character of academic education and science. Gender research however, is especially interested in the influence of the restructuring process on gender relations. In which way do rationalization and reorganization of the universities and of the universities of applied sciences de/engender academic teaching and research? Where is gender research positioned now? Researchers from European and non European countries will respond to these problems/questions which seem to be unsolved so far.

Galois Theories of Fields and Rings


Free Download Galois Theories of Fields and Rings
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031584597 | 184 Pages | PDF (True) | 2 MB
This textbook arises from a master’s course taught by the author at the University of Coimbra. It takes the reader from the very classical Galois theorem for fields to its generalization to the case of rings. Given a finite-dimensional Galois extension of fields, the classical bijection between the intermediate field extensions and the subgroups of the corresponding Galois group was extended by Grothendieck as an equivalence between finite-dimensional split algebras and finite sets on which the Galois group acts. Adding further profinite topologies on the Galois group and the sets on which it acts, these two theorems become valid in arbitrary dimension. Taking advantage of the power of category theory, the second part of the book generalizes this most general Galois theorem for fields to the case of commutative rings. This book should be of interest to field theorists and ring theorists wanting to discover new techniques which make it possible to liberate Galois theory from its traditional restricted context of field theory. It should also be of great interest to category theorists who want to apply their everyday techniques to produce deep results in other domains of mathematics.

Markov Chains Gibbs Fields, Monte Carlo Simulation, and Queues


Free Download Markov Chains: Gibbs Fields, Monte Carlo Simulation, and Queues by Pierre Brémaud
English | PDF | 1999 | 456 Pages | ISBN : 0387985093 | 33.7 MB
In this book, the author begins with the elementary theory of Markov chains and very progressively brings the reader to the more advanced topics. He gives a useful review of probability that makes the book self-contained, and provides an appendix with detailed proofs of all the prerequisites from calculus, algebra, and number theory. A number of carefully chosen problems of varying difficulty are proposed at the close of each chapter, and the mathematics are slowly and carefully developed, in order to make self-study easier. The author treats the classic topics of Markov chain theory, both in discrete time and continuous time, as well as the connected topics such as finite Gibbs fields, nonhomogeneous Markov chains, discrete- time regenerative processes, Monte Carlo simulation, simulated annealing, and queuing theory. The result is an up-to-date textbook on stochastic processes. Students and researchers in operations research and electrical engineering, as well as in physics and biology, will find it very accessible and relevant.

Magnetic Fields of Celestial Bodies

Magnetism is one of the basic properties of matter. Mankind has trav elled a long road in discovering and utilizing magnetism, and in this respect the ancient Chinese people have made outstanding contribu tions. In the book ‘Lu’s Spring and Autumn’, written near the end of the Warring States Period, i. e. in the third century B. C. , there is a statement on the "attraction of iron by lodestones". So at that time it was known that magnets can attract ferromagnetic material. At the be ginning ofthe first century A. D. , viz. in the early years ofthe East Hang Dynasty, the famous scholar Wang Chong wrote in his masterpiece ‘Len Hen’ that the handle of a magnetic dipper pointed to the south. It was thus discovered at the time that magnets can point to the poles of the geomagnetic field. At the beginning of the twelfth century, during the reign of Emperor Hui of the Sung Dynasty, in the two books written by Zhu Yo and Xu Jin, respectively, there are descriptions of the com pass used in navigation. This tells us that the application of compasses was rather widespread at that time. The distinguished scientist Sen Go (1031-1085) discovered the declination of the terrestrial magnetic field. This is four hundred and more years earlier than its discovery by Christopher Columbus in 1492 during his voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. Such facts as these manifest the important contributions of ancient China to global civilization.
