From Geometry to Quantum Mechanics: In Honor of Hideki Omori

This quantity consists of invited expository articles through famous mathematicians in differential geometry and mathematical physics which were prepared in social gathering of Hideki Omori's contemporary retirement from Tokyo collage of technological know-how and in honor of his primary contributions to those components.

Designing fair curves and surfaces: shape quality in geometric modeling and computer-aided design

This cutting-edge examine of the ideas used for designing curves and surfaces for computer-aided layout purposes makes a speciality of the primary that reasonable shapes are constantly freed from unessential positive aspects and are basic in layout. The authors outline equity mathematically, display how newly built curve and floor schemes warrantly equity, and support the person in deciding on and removal form aberrations in a floor version with out destroying the relevant form features of the version.

Topological Topics: Articles on Algebra and Topology Presented to Professor P J Hilton in Celebration of his Sixtieth Birthday

Professor Peter Hilton is without doubt one of the most sensible identified mathematicians of his iteration. He has released nearly three hundred books and papers on quite a few facets of topology and algebra. the current quantity is to rejoice the social gathering of his 60th birthday. It starts off with a bibliography of his paintings, by means of stories of his contributions to topology and algebra.

Example text

Since 2-bridge knots and links are strongly invertible, simultaneous change of orientation does not matter. However, for 2-component links, we must specify which of the two possible orientations is assigned. As a convention, we specify the orientation of 2-bridge link S(p, q) in the pillow case form as in Figure 2. Fig. 2. The orientation of 2-bridge links As the result, S(4, 3) (Figure 2 left) is a fibered link of genus 1, and S(4, 1) (Figure 2 right) is a non-fibered link of genus 0. This convention is consistent with the fact 3/4 has continued fraction [2, 2, 2], and 1/4 has [4].

See, for example, [4] and [9]. Let L be an oriented link in the 3-sphere S 3 . A Morse map f : CL := 3 S − L → S 1 is said to be regular if each component of L, say Li , has a neighborhood framed as S 1 × D2 such that (i) Li = S 1 × {0} (ii) f |S 1 ×(D2 −{0}) → S 1 is given by (x, y) → y/|y|. We denote by mi (f ) the number of the critical points of f of index i. A Morse map f : CL → S 1 is said to be minimal if for each i the number mi (f ) is minimal on the class of all regular maps homotopic to f .
