Book Synopsis An Introduction to Teichmüller Spaces by : Yoichi Imayoshi
Download or read book An Introduction to Teichmüller Spaces written by Yoichi Imayoshi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an easy and compact access to the theory of TeichmA1/4ller spaces, starting from the most elementary aspects to the most recent developments, e.g. the role this theory plays with regard to string theory. TeichmA1/4ller spaces give parametrization of all the complex structures on a given Riemann surface. This subject is related to many different areas of mathematics including complex analysis, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, topology in two and three dimensions, Kleinian and Fuchsian groups, automorphic forms, complex dynamics, and ergodic theory. Recently, TeichmA1/4ller spaces have begun to play an important role in string theory. Imayoshi and Taniguchi have attempted to make the book as self-contained as possible. They present numerous examples and heuristic arguments in order to help the reader grasp the ideas of TeichmA1/4ller theory. The book will be an excellent source of information for graduate students and reserachers in complex analysis and algebraic geometry as well as for theoretical physicists working in quantum theory.
Book Synopsis Univalent Functions and Teichmüller Spaces by : O. Lehto
Download or read book Univalent Functions and Teichmüller Spaces written by O. Lehto and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph grew out of the notes relating to the lecture courses that I gave at the University of Helsinki from 1977 to 1979, at the Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule Zurich in 1980, and at the University of Minnesota in 1982. The book presumably would never have been written without Fred Gehring's continuous encouragement. Thanks to the arrangements made by Edgar Reich and David Storvick, I was able to spend the fall term of 1982 in Minneapolis and do a good part of the writing there. Back in Finland, other commitments delayed the completion of the text. At the final stages of preparing the manuscript, I was assisted first by Mika Seppala and then by Jouni Luukkainen, who both had a grant from the Academy of Finland. I am greatly indebted to them for the improvements they made in the text. I also received valuable advice and criticism from Kari Astala, Richard Fehlmann, Barbara Flinn, Fred Gehring, Pentti Jarvi, Irwin Kra, Matti Lehtinen, I1ppo Louhivaara, Bruce Palka, Kurt Strebel, Kalevi Suominen, Pekka Tukia and Kalle Virtanen. To all of them I would like to express my gratitude. Raili Pauninsalo deserves special thanks for her patience and great care in typing the manuscript. Finally, I thank the editors for accepting my text in Springer-Verlag's well known series. Helsinki, Finland June 1986 Olli Lehto Contents Preface. ... v Introduction ...

Book Synopsis Handbook of Teichmüller Theory by : Athanase Papadopoulos
Download or read book Handbook of Teichmüller Theory written by Athanase Papadopoulos and published by European Mathematical Society. This book was released on 2007 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Teichmuller space of a surface was introduced by O. Teichmuller in the 1930s. It is a basic tool in the study of Riemann's moduli spaces and the mapping class groups. These objects are fundamental in several fields of mathematics, including algebraic geometry, number theory, topology, geometry, and dynamics. The original setting of Teichmuller theory is complex analysis. The work of Thurston in the 1970s brought techniques of hyperbolic geometry to the study of Teichmuller space and its asymptotic geometry. Teichmuller spaces are also studied from the point of view of the representation theory of the fundamental group of the surface in a Lie group $G$, most notably $G=\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ and $G=\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{C})$. In the 1980s, there evolved an essentially combinatorial treatment of the Teichmuller and moduli spaces involving techniques and ideas from high-energy physics, namely from string theory. The current research interests include the quantization of Teichmuller space, the Weil-Petersson symplectic and Poisson geometry of this space as well as gauge-theoretic extensions of these structures. The quantization theories can lead to new invariants of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. The purpose of this handbook is to give a panorama of some of the most important aspects of Teichmuller theory. The handbook should be useful to specialists in the field, to graduate students, and more generally to mathematicians who want to learn about the subject. All the chapters are self-contained and have a pedagogical character. They are written by leading experts in the subject.
Book Synopsis Compact Riemann Surfaces by : Jürgen Jost
Download or read book Compact Riemann Surfaces written by Jürgen Jost and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-12-13 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is novel in its broad perspective on Riemann surfaces: the text systematically explores the connection with other fields of mathematics. The book can serve as an introduction to contemporary mathematics as a whole, as it develops background material from algebraic topology, differential geometry, the calculus of variations, elliptic PDE, and algebraic geometry. The book is unique among textbooks on Riemann surfaces in its inclusion of an introduction to Teichmüller theory. For this new edition, the author has expanded and rewritten several sections to include additional material and to improve the presentation.
Book Synopsis The Complex Analytic Theory of Teichmuller Spaces by : Subhashis Nag
Download or read book The Complex Analytic Theory of Teichmuller Spaces written by Subhashis Nag and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1988-03-03 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accessible, self-contained treatment of the complex structure of the Teichmüller moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces. Complex analysts, geometers, and especially string theorists (!) will find this work indispensable. The Teichmüller space, parametrizing all the various complex structures on a given surface, itself carries (in a completely natural way) the complex structure of a finite- or infinite-dimensional complex manifold. Nag emphasizes the Bers embedding of Teichmüller spaces and deals with various types of complex-analytic coördinates for them. This is the first book in which a complete exposition is given of the most basic fact that the Bers projection from Beltrami differentials onto Teichmüller space is a complex analytic submersion. The fundamental universal property enjoyed by Teichmüller space is given two proofs and the Bers complex boundary is examined to the point where totally degenerate Kleinian groups make their spectacular appearance. Contains much material previously unpublished.

Book Synopsis Foundations of $p$-adic Teichmuller Theory by : Shinichi Mochizuki
Download or read book Foundations of $p$-adic Teichmuller Theory written by Shinichi Mochizuki and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2014-01-06 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book lays the foundation for a theory of uniformization of p-adic hyperbolic curves and their moduli. On one hand, this theory generalizes the Fuchsian and Bers uniformizations of complex hyperbolic curves and their moduli to nonarchimedian places. That is why in this book, the theory is referred to as p-adic Teichmüller theory, for short. On the other hand, the theory may be regarded as a fairly precise hyperbolic analog of the Serre-Tate theory of ordinary abelian varieties and their moduli. The theory of uniformization of p-adic hyperbolic curves and their moduli was initiated in a previous work by Mochizuki. And in some sense, this book is a continuation and generalization of that work. This book aims to bridge the gap between the approach presented and the classical uniformization of a hyperbolic Riemann surface that is studied in undergraduate complex analysis. Features: Presents a systematic treatment of the moduli space of curves from the point of view of p-adic Galois representations.Treats the analog of Serre-Tate theory for hyperbolic curves.Develops a p-adic analog of Fuchsian and Bers uniformization theories.Gives a systematic treatment of a "nonabelian example" of p-adic Hodge theory. Titles in this series are co-published with International Press of Boston, Inc., Cambridge, MA.
Book Synopsis Homotopy of Operads and Grothendieck-Teichmuller Groups by : Benoit Fresse
Download or read book Homotopy of Operads and Grothendieck-Teichmuller Groups written by Benoit Fresse and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Grothendieck–Teichmüller group was defined by Drinfeld in quantum group theory with insights coming from the Grothendieck program in Galois theory. The ultimate goal of this book is to explain that this group has a topological interpretation as a group of homotopy automorphisms associated to the operad of little 2-discs, which is an object used to model commutative homotopy structures in topology. This volume gives a comprehensive survey on the algebraic aspects of this subject. The book explains the definition of an operad in a general context, reviews the definition of the little discs operads, and explains the definition of the Grothendieck–Teichmüller group from the viewpoint of the theory of operads. In the course of this study, the relationship between the little discs operads and the definition of universal operations associated to braided monoidal category structures is explained. Also provided is a comprehensive and self-contained survey of the applications of Hopf algebras to the definition of a rationalization process, the Malcev completion, for groups and groupoids. Most definitions are carefully reviewed in the book; it requires minimal prerequisites to be accessible to a broad readership of graduate students and researchers interested in the applications of operads.

Book Synopsis Introduction to Superstrings by : Michio Kaku
Download or read book Introduction to Superstrings written by Michio Kaku and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough. Niels Bohr Superstring theory has emerged as the most promising candidate for a quan tum theory of all known interactions. Superstrings apparently solve a problem that has defied solution for the past 50 years, namely the unification of the two great fundamental physical theories of the century, quantum field theory and general relativity. Superstring theory introduces an entirely new physical picture into theoretical physics and a new mathematics that has startled even the mathematicians. Ironically, although superstring theory is supposed to provide a unified field theory of the universe, the theory itself often seems like a confused jumble offolklore, random rules of thumb, and intuition. This is because the develop ment of superstring theory has been unlike that of any other theory, such as general relativity, which began with a geometry and an action and later evolved into a quantum theory. Superstring theory, by contrast, has been evolving backward for the past 20 years. It has a bizarre history, beginning with the purely accidental discovery of the quantum theory in 1968 by G. Veneziano and M. Suzuki. Thumbing through old math books, they stumbled by chance on the Beta function, written down in the last century by mathematician Leonhard Euler.
Book Synopsis Lipman Bers, a Life in Mathematics by : Linda Keen
Download or read book Lipman Bers, a Life in Mathematics written by Linda Keen and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is part biography and part collection of mathematical essays that gives the reader a perspective on the evolution of an interesting mathematical life. It is all about Lipman Bers, a giant in the mathematical world who lived in turbulent and exciting times. It captures the essence of his mathematics, a development and transition from applied mathematics to complex analysis--quasiconformal mappings and moduli of Riemann surfaces--and the essence of his personality, a progression from a young revolutionary refugee to an elder statesman in the world of mathematics and a fighter for global human rights and the end of political torture. The book contains autobiographical material and short reprints of his work. The main content is in the exposition of his research contributions, sometimes with novel points of view, by students, grand-students, and colleagues. The research described was fundamental to the growth of a central part of 20th century mathematics that, now in the 21st century, is in a healthy state with much current interest and activity. The addition of personal recollections, professional tributes, and photographs yields a picture of a man, his personal and professional family, and his time.
Book Synopsis A Primer on Mapping Class Groups by : Benson Farb
Download or read book A Primer on Mapping Class Groups written by Benson Farb and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the mapping class group Mod(S) is a classical topic that is experiencing a renaissance. It lies at the juncture of geometry, topology, and group theory. This book explains as many important theorems, examples, and techniques as possible, quickly and directly, while at the same time giving full details and keeping the text nearly self-contained. The book is suitable for graduate students. A Primer on Mapping Class Groups begins by explaining the main group-theoretical properties of Mod(S), from finite generation by Dehn twists and low-dimensional homology to the Dehn-Nielsen-Baer theorem. Along the way, central objects and tools are introduced, such as the Birman exact sequence, the complex of curves, the braid group, the symplectic representation, and the Torelli group. The book then introduces Teichmüller space and its geometry, and uses the action of Mod(S) on it to prove the Nielsen-Thurston classification of surface homeomorphisms. Topics include the topology of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces, the connection with surface bundles, pseudo-Anosov theory, and Thurston's approach to the classification.
Book Synopsis Surveys in Geometry I by : Athanase Papadopoulos
Download or read book Surveys in Geometry I written by Athanase Papadopoulos and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-18 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume consists of a set of surveys on geometry in the broad sense. The goal is to present a certain number of research topics in a non-technical and appealing manner. The topics surveyed include spherical geometry, the geometry of finite-dimensional normed spaces, metric geometry (Bishop—Gromov type inequalities in Gromov-hyperbolic spaces), convexity theory and inequalities involving volumes and mixed volumes of convex bodies, 4-dimensional topology, Teichmüller spaces and mapping class groups actions, translation surfaces and their dynamics, and complex higher-dimensional geometry. Several chapters are based on lectures given by their authors to middle-advanced level students and young researchers. The whole book is intended to be an introduction to current research trends in geometry.
