Description
Richard M. Weiss is William Walker Professor of Mathematics at Tufts University. He is the author of The Structure of Spherical Buildings (Princeton) and the coauthor (with Jacques Tits) of Moufang Polygons. He received a Humboldt Research Prize in 2004.
This book introduces a new class of non-associative algebras related to certain exceptional algebraic groups and their associated buildings. Richard Weiss develops a theory of these "quadrangular...

Description
Alfonso Sorrentino is associate professor of mathematics at the University of Rome "Tor Vergata" in Italy. He holds a PhD in mathematics from Princeton University.
John Mather's seminal works in Hamiltonian dynamics represent some of the most important contributions to our understanding of the complex balance between stable and unstable motions in classical mechanics. His novel approach-known as Aubry-Mather theory-singles out the existence of special...

Description
Paula Tretkoff is professor of mathematics at Texas A&M University and director of research in the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) at the Université de Lille 1, France.
This book introduces the theory of complex surfaces through a comprehensive look at finite covers of the projective plane branched along line arrangements. Paula Tretkoff emphasizes those finite covers that are free quotients of the complex two-dimensional ball. Tretkoff...
