Free Download Alexander H. W. Schmitt, "Geometric Invariant Theory and Decorated Principal Bundles"
English | 2008 | pages: 397 | ISBN: 3037190655 | PDF | 4,1 mb
The book starts with an introduction to Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT). The fundamental results of Hilbert and Mumford are exposed as well as more recent topics such as the instability flag, the finiteness of the number of quotients, and the variation of quotients. In the second part, GIT is applied to solve the classification problem of decorated principal bundles on a compact Riemann surface. The solution is a quasi-projective moduli scheme which parameterizes those objects that satisfy a semistability condition originating from gauge theory. The moduli space is equipped with a generalized Hitchin map. Via the universal KobayashiHitchin correspondence, these moduli spaces are related to moduli spaces of solutions of certain vortex type equations. Potential applications include the study of representation spaces of the fundamental group of compact Riemann surfaces. The book concludes with a brief discussion of generalizations of these findings to higher dimensional base varieties, positive characteristic, and parabolic bundles. The text is fairly self-contained (e.g., the necessary background from the theory of principal bundles is included) and features numerous examples and exercises. It addresses students and researchers with a working knowledge of elementary algebraic geometry.

Free Download Entscheidungstheoretische Aspekte der Principal-Agent-Theorie By Dr. Andreas Kleine (auth.)
1996 | 234 Pages | ISBN: 3790808970 | PDF | 14 MB
Im Mittelpunkt dieser Schrift steht ein stochastisches vektorielles Entscheidungsmodell zur Lösung des Interessenkonfliktes zwischen den beiden Entscheidungsträgern Principal und Agent, das mit den aus der Vektoroptimierung bekannten Kompromißmodellen gelöst wird. Die Ausführungen verdeutlichen die Zusammenhänge zwischen spieltheoretischen und multikriteriellen Entscheidungsmodellen exemplarisch an einem Principal-Agent-Ansatz. Ergebnisse und Bedeutung der Principal-Agent-Theorie für betriebswirtschaftliche Entscheidungen werden ausführlich an einem investitionstheoretischen Anwendungsbeispiel illustriert.

English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031699254 | 170 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 16 MB
This book develops a C*-algebraic approach to the notion of principal symbol on Heisenberg groups and, using the fact that contact manifolds are locally modeled by Heisenberg groups, on compact contact manifolds. Applying abstract theorems due to Lord, Sukochev, Zanin and McDonald, a principal symbol on the Heisenberg group is introduced as a homomorphism of C*-algebras. This leads to a version of Connes’ trace theorem for Heisenberg groups, followed by a proof of the equivariant behavior of the principal symbol under Heisenberg diffeomorphisms. Using this equivariance and the authors’ globalization theorem, techniques are developed which enable further extensions to arbitrary stratified Lie groups and, as a consequence, the notion of a principal symbol on compact contact manifolds is described via a patching process. Finally, the Connes trace formula on compact contact sub-Riemannian manifolds is established and a spectrally correct version of the sub-Riemannian volume is defined (different from Popp’s measure).

English | ISBN: 3031596862 | 2024 | 304 pages | EPUB, PDF | 544 KB + 9 MB
This book identifies and examines the role of Baro Tumsa in clandestinely bringing together a few Oromo nationalists of diverse backgrounds from all over Oromia, the Oromo country, to establish the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) between the late 1960s and the mid- 1970s in Oromia and Ethiopia. The Haile Selassie government’s destruction of Oromo movements, mainly the Macha-Tulama Self-Help Association (MTA), was an immediate reason for the birth of the front. While most Oromos have supported and sympathized with this liberation organization, the colonizers and their agents have vilified and attacked it to make the Oromo society leaderless. For almost a half-century, the OLF has been struggling to uproot Ethiopian (Amhara-Tigray) settler colonialism and its institutions from Oromia to end the domination and exploitation of the Oromo. The book also examines the roles of leaders and social movements in organizing oppressed peoples for collective actions by creating organizations that have visions and missions to liberate themselves. It is a case study of global social movements and leadership studies.

Free Download Torkil Lauesen, "The Principal Contradiction"
English | 2020 | pages: 172 | ISBN: 1989701035 | EPUB | 0,2 mb
In The Principal Contradiction, Torkil Lauesen introduces readers to the philosophy of dialectical materialism as a tool for changing the world. Dialectical materialism allows us to understand the dynamics of world history and to draw practical conclusions, with the concept of contradiction building a bridge between theory and practice. This is not just a valuable tool with which to analyze complex relationships: it also tells us how to intervene.Lauesen explores the historical origins of dialectical materialism, focusing at first on the European context in which Hegel was famously turned on his head, then introducing the subsequent contributions made by Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Mao. Drawing on his own decades of experience as an anti-imperialist, Lauesen shows how dialectical materialism can be employed as a method to understand the past five hundred years of capitalist history, how contradictions internal to European capitalism led to colonialism and genocide in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, as all humanity was brought into a single exploitative world system. The historical record is used to show how contradictions interact with one another and how a correct understanding of the principal contradiction is critical to formulating a correct strategy.

Free Download Linda-Dianne Willis, "Principal Leadership for Parent Engagement in Disadvantaged Schools: What Qualities and Strategies Distinguish Effective"
English | ISBN: 9811612633 | 2021 | 100 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book presents and theorises research findings into why and how school principals play a critical role in engaging parents and their school communities to enhance student learning and wellbeing. It highlights the imperative of parent engagement as evidenced by clear, consistent findings from research over the last fifty years and government reforms, policies and frameworks internationally and nationally in Australia which have been driven by the weight of this evidence. It focuses on a research project conducted from 2016 to 2017, titled ‘Principal leadership for parent-school-community engagement in disadvantaged schools’. This project investigated four principals identified as successful in parent engagement based on findings of state-wide survey research of principals and presidents of parents and citizens’ associations in 2014 in Queensland, Australia.
