This is an introduction (in German) to projective geometry by the late Heinz Lueneburg. Projective spaces are treated as lattices with particular properties, and finite geometries receive special attention. The final chapters deal with…
The Enskog--Vlasov (EV) equation is a semi-empiric kinetic model describing gas-liquid phase transitions. In the framework of the EV equation, these correspond to an instability with respect to infinitely long perturbations, developing in a…
This article is a short nontechnical survey of recent progresses in fluid dynamics and differential geometry, relating a conjecture of Lars Onsager to the work of Nash on isometric embeddings.
This article provides a conceptual and historical review of the evolution of integrable Hamiltonian systems from the Moscow School of A. T. Fomenko to the emerging Azarbaijan School of Geometric Dynamical Systems founded by the author.…
We introduce new invariants in equivariant birational geometry and study their relation to modular symbols and cohomology of arithmetic groups.
This paper is a contribution to Vinberg's theory of $\theta$-groups, or in other words, to Invariant Theory of periodically graded semisimple Lie algebras. One of our main tools is Springer's theory of regular elements of finite reflection…
In this brief note, there is a short recollection of my scientific interactions with the great Russian mathematician Sergey Konstantinovich Godunov.
The present paper gives an account for the general mathematical reader of the life and work of Martin Davis. Since two rather comprehensive autobiographical accounts and two long biographical interviews already exist, the present work…
Leonid Keldysh -- one of the most influential theoretical physicists of the 20th century -- passed away in November 2016. Keldysh is best known for the diagrammatic formulation of real-time (nonequilibrium) Green functions theory and for…
In this survey we recognize Enrique Arrondo's contributions over the whole of its career, recalling his professional history and collecting the results of his mathematical production.
This paper is devoted to Poincar\'e's work in probability. Though the subject does not represent a large part of the mathematician's achievements, it provides significant insight into the evolution of Poincar\'e's thought on several…
These are lecture notes for the course "Poisson geometry and deformation quantization" given by the author during the fall semester 2020 at the University of Zurich. The first chapter is an introduction to differential geometry, where we…
This is a brief overview of researches of Dmitry Petrovich Zhelobenko (1934--2006). He is the best known for his book "Compact Lie groups and their representations" and for the classification of all irreducible representations of complex…
One of the aims of this paper is to better explain the philosophy behind the computations in [E.Bifet, C.De Concini,C.Procesi Cohomology of Regular Embeddings ] and to place them in a wider conceptual setting. Another aim of the paper is to…
Irving John ("Jack") Good (9 December 1916 - 5 April 2009) was one of my greatest heroes and influencers. On Oct. 25, 2009, I gave a twenty-three minute talk with the present title, and this article is an extended transcript of that talk.…
Contribution to the volume "In Memory of Steven Weinberg" to appear in Nuclear Physics B.
We prove new concentration estimates for random variables that are functionals of a Poisson measure defined on a general measure space. Our results are specifically adapted to geometric applications, and are based on a pervasive use of a…
This is an expository article on visual metrics on boundaries of hyperbolic metric spaces. We discuss the construction of visual metrics, quasisymmetries and their invariants, Hausdorff and conformal dimension, and constructions and…
This is a report on the work of Robert Langlands, following his award of the Abel Prize in 2018. It includes his contributions to the general areas of Representation Theory, Automorphic Forms, Number Theory and Arithmetic Geometry. We have…
We give a concise introduction to (discrete) algebras arising from \'etale groupoids, (aka Steinberg algebras) and describe their close relationship with groupoid C*-algebras. Their connection to partial group rings via inverse semigroups…
