From Categories to Homotopy Theory

Part of Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics
AVAILABILITY: Not yet published - available from June 2020
FORMAT: Hardback ISBN: 9781108479622

Description

Category theory provides structure for the mathematical world and is seen everywhere in modern mathematics. With this book, the author bridges the gap between pure category theory and its numerous applications in homotopy theory, providing the necessary background information to make the subject accessible to graduate students or researchers with a background in algebraic topology and algebra. The reader is first introduced to category theory, starting with basic definitions and concepts before progressing to more advanced themes. Concrete examples and exercises illustrate the topics, ranging from colimits to constructions such as the Day convolution product. Part II covers important applications of category theory, giving a thorough introduction to simplicial objects including an account of quasi-categories and Segal sets. Diagram categories play a central role throughout the book, giving rise to models of iterated loop spaces, and feature prominently in functor homology and homology of small categories.

Includes diagrammatical proofs, examples and exercises to encourage an active way of learning
Provides enough background from category theory to make advanced topics such as K-theory, iterated loop spaces and functor homology accessible to
readers Makes abstract concepts tangible, encouraging readers to learn what can be an intimidating subject

Bimonoids for Hyperplane Arrangements

Part of Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications

AVAILABILITY: Not yet published - available from May 2020
FORMAT: Hardback ISBN: 9781108495806

The goal of this monograph is to develop Hopf theory in a new setting which features centrally a real hyperplane arrangement.

The new theory is parallel to the classical theory of connected Hopf algebras, and relates to it when specialized to the braid arrangement. Joyal's theory of combinatorial species, ideas from Tits' theory of buildings, and Rota's work on incidence algebras inspire and find a common expression in this theory. The authors introduce notions of monoid, comonoid, bimonoid, and Lie monoid relative to a fixed hyperplane arrangement. They also construct universal bimonoids by using generalizations of
the classical notions of shuffle and quasishuffle, and establish the Borel?Hopf, Poincare?Birkhoff?Witt,and Cartier-Milnor-Moore theorems in this setting.

This monograph opens a vast new area of research. It will be of interest to students and researchers working in the areas of hyperplane arrangements, semigroup theory, Hopf algebras, algebraic Lie theory, operads, and category theory.

The first book on the subject; readers will learn the theory first-hand from its original creators

Carefully designed chapters, with effective use of tables, diagrams, pictures, and exercises, making the book accessible to a wide audience

Touches many different areas of mathematics with minimum prerequisites, so readers can choose entry points depending on their background and interest Close

Spectral Methods Using Multivariate Polynomials On The Unit Ball

Hardback
Published November 8, 2019
Reference - 262 Pages
ISBN 9780367345471
Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Monographs and Research Notes in Mathematics

Description

Spectral Methods Using Multivariate Polynomials on the Unit Ball is a research level text on a numerical method for the solution of partial differential equations. The authors introduce, illustrate with examples, and analyze 'spectral methods' that are based on multivariate polynomial approximations. The method presented is an alternative to finite element and difference methods for regions that are diffeomorphic to the unit disk, in two dimensions, and the unit ball, in three dimensions. The speed of convergence of spectral methods is usually much higher than that of finite element or finite difference methods.

Features

Introduces the use of multivariate polynomials for the construction and analysis of spectral methods for linear and nonlinear boundary value problems

Suitable for researchers and students in numerical analysis of PDEs, along with anyone interested in applying this method to a particular physical problem

One of the few texts to address this area using multivariate orthogonal polynomials, rather than tensor products of univariate polynomials.
