This rich mathematical text will help both graduate students and researchers master modern topology and domain theory, the key mathematics behind the semantics of computer languages. It deals with elementary and advanced concepts of topology and the theory is illuminated by many examples, figures and more than 450 exercises.

In this book the author illustrates the power of the theory of subcartesian differential spaces for investigating spaces with singularities. The book covers applications in pure and applied mathematics and in mechanics, and it will interest researchers and graduate students in these areas.

This is a unified exposition of the theory of symmetric designs with emphasis on recent developments. The authors cover the combinatorial aspects of the theory giving particular attention to the construction of symmetric designs and related objects. For all researchers in combinatorial designs, coding theory, and finite geometries.

The study of higher categories is attracting growing interest for its many applications in topology, algebraic geometry, mathematical physics and category theory. Following an extensive discussion of many current approaches, Carlos Simpson explains the first concrete and workable theory of n-categories in detail.

Students learning the subject from scratch will value this comprehensive text, which presents three major types of dynamics, from the basics to some of the latest results: measure preserving transformations; continuous maps on compact spaces; and operators on function spaces. It will also be a valuable reference for experienced researchers.

This self-contained 2010 account of the state of the art in classical complex multiplication provides an exhaustive treatment of the theory of elliptic functions, modular functions and quadratic number fields. The reader will find all the necessary background and tools they will need in this book.

This is a coherent explanation for the existence of the 26 known sporadic simple groups originally arising from many unrelated contexts. The given proofs build on the intimate relations between general group theory, ordinary character theory, modular representation theory and algorithmic algebra described in the first volume.

The most modern and thorough treatment of unstable homotopy theory available. The focus is on those methods from algebraic topology which underlie the work of Cohen, Moore, and the author. Suitable for a course in unstable homotopy theory, it is also a valuable reference for experts and graduate students alike.

This book presents the theory of free ideal rings (firs) in detail. Particular emphasis is placed on rings with a weak algorithm, exemplified by free associative algebras, and there is also a full account of localization. Each chapter has a number of exercises plus open problems and historical notes.

Hilbert's Tenth Problem - to find an algorithm to determine whether a polynomial equation in several variables with integer coefficients has integer solutions - was shown to be unsolvable in the late sixties. This book presents an account of results extending Hilbert's Tenth Problem to integrally closed subrings of global fields.

In this 2004 book, Cabanes and Enguehard blend many of the main concerns of modern algebra, with full proofs of some of the most remarkable achievements in the area. Three main themes are evident: first, applications of etale cohomology; second, the Dipper-James theorems; finally, local representation theory.
