One-Cocycles And Knot Invariants

de Thomas Fiedler

97,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 One-Cocycles and Knot Invariants is about classical knots, i.e., smooth oriented knots in 3-space. It introduces discrete combinatorial analysis in knot theory in order to solve a global tetrahedron equation. This new technique is then used to construct combinatorial 1-cocycles in a certain moduli space of knot diagrams. The construction of the moduli space makes use of the meridian and the longitude of the knot. The combinatorial 1-cocycles are therefore lifts of the well-known Conway polynomial of knots, and they can be calculated in polynomial time. The 1-cocycles can distinguish loops consisting of knot diagrams in the moduli space up to homology. They give knot invariants when they are evaluated on canonical loops in the connected components of the moduli space. They are a first candidate for numerical knot invariants which can perhaps distinguish the orientation of knots.Contents: <ul><li>Introduction</li><li>The 1-Cocycles from the Conway Polynomial</li><li>Proofs</li><li>The Examples</li><li>Two Forgotten Linear 1-Cocycles</li><li>An Eclectic 1-Cocycle</li></ul>Readership: This title will be particularly useful for academic researchers and PhD students.Key Features:<ul> <li>The main problem in knot theory in 3-space, namely giving a system of calculable numerical knot invariants, which distinguish all smooth oriented classical knots, is still open since the first mathematical paper about knots in 1771. This title makes an essential step towards a potential solution to this problem. So far, the construction of knot invariants in 3-space was mainly based on representation theory and hence on algebra. The book introduces combinatorial analysis as a new tool in order to study classical knots, by studying families of knot diagrams instead of individual diagrams. The basis of this new technique was laid in the previous title Polynomial One-cocycles for Knots and Closed Braids. This new book develops this technique further to its full power</li></ul></ul>

On Complementarity: A Universal Organizing Principle - A Universal Organizing Principle

de Avrin Jack Shulman Avrin

79,50€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 It is not uncommon for the Principle of Complementarity to be invoked in either Science or Philosophy, viz. the ancient oriental philosophy of Yin and Yang whose symbolic representation is portrayed on the cover of the book. Or Niels Bohr''s use of it as the basis for the so-called Copenhagen interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. This book arose as an outgrowth of the author''s previous book entitled ''Knots, Braids and Moebius Strips,'' published by World Scientific in 2015, wherein the Principle itself was discovered to be expressible as a simple 2x2 matrix that summarizes the algebraic essence of both the well-known Microbiology of DNA and the author''s version of the elementary particles of physics. At that point, the possibility of an even wider utilization of that expression of Complementarity arose.The current book, features Complementarity, in which the matrix algebra is extended to characterize not only DNA itself but the well-known process of its replication, a most gratifying outcome. The book then goes on to explore Complementarity, with and without its matrix expression, as it occurs, not only in much of physics but in its extension to cosmology as well.

Geometry Of The Universe, The

de Rourke Colin Rourke

79,50€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Cosmology, the study of the universe, arouses a great deal of public interest, with serious articles both in the scientific press and in major newspapers, with many of the theories and concepts (e.g. the ''big bang'' and ''black holes'') discussed, often in great depth.Accordingly the book is divided into three parts:Part 1 is readable (and understandable) by anyone with a nodding acquaintance with the basic language of cosmology: events, lights paths, galaxies, black holes and so on. It covers the whole story of the book in a way as untechnical as possible given the scope of the topics covered.Part 2 covers the same ground again but with enough technical details to satisfy a reader with basic knowledge of mathematics and/or physics.Part 3 consists of appendices which are referred to in the other parts and which also contain the highly technical material omitted from Section 2.

 Volume III is the third part of the 3-volume book Mathematics of Harmony as a New Interdisciplinary Direction and ''Golden'' Paradigm of Modern Science. ''Mathematics of Harmony'' rises in its origin to the ''harmonic ideas'' of Pythagoras, Plato and Euclid, this 3-volume book aims to promote more deep understanding of ancient conception of the ''Universe Harmony,'' the main conception of ancient Greek science, and implementation of this conception to modern science and education.This 3-volume book is a result of the authors'' research in the field of Fibonacci numbers and the Golden Section and their applications. It provides a broad introduction to the fascinating and beautiful subject of the ''Mathematics of Harmony,'' a new interdisciplinary direction of modern science. This direction has many unexpected applications in contemporary mathematics (a new approach to a history of mathematics, the generalized Fibonacci numbers and the generalized golden proportions, the generalized Binet''s formulas), theoretical physics (new hyperbolic models of Nature) and computer science (algorithmic measurement theory, number systems with irrational bases, Fibonacci computers, ternary mirror-symmetrical arithmetic).The books are intended for a wide audience including mathematics teachers of high schools, students of colleges and universities and scientists in the field of mathematics, theoretical physics and computer science.

How Surfaces Intersect In Space: An Introduction To Topology

de Carter J Scott Carter

26,50€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This is a book of marvelous pictures that illustrates standard examples in low dimensional topology. The text starts at the most basic level (the intersection of coordinate planes) and gives hands on constructions of the most beautiful examples in topology: the projective plane, Poincare''s example of a homology sphere, lens spaces, knotted surfaces, 2-sphere eversions, and higher dimensional manifolds. The text carefully explains the importance of the examples and the techniques without being bogged down in a morass of technicalities.Chapter 1 opens with the classification of orientable surfaces, and the meaning of space. Chapter 2 discusses examples of non-orientable surfaces including models of the projective plane and the Klein bottle. Chapter 3 discusses how curves fit on surfaces and gives a general discussion of knotted strings in space. In Chapter 4, some examples of other 3-dimensional spaces are described. These include the 3-dimensional sphere, lens spaces, and the quaternionic projective space. In Chapter 5, the author reviews the movie techniques of studying surfaces in 4-dimensions. He shows how to move among the standard examples of Klein bottles, and he gives a "movie move" decomposition of turning the 2-sphere inside out. In the final Chapter, higher dimensional spaces are examined from the same elementary point of view.The book is a guide book to a wide variety of topics. It will be of value to undergraduates who want to learn geometric topology and to graduate students who want examples with which they can make computations and who need an elementary description of topological spaces. Finally, the book should be interesting to other scientists and mathematicians who want to learn some examples of topological spaces.
