The Riemann Hypothesis in Characteristic p in Historical Perspective (Lecture Notes in Mathematics #2222)
by Peter RoquetteThis book tells the story of the Riemann hypothesis for function fields (or curves) starting with Artin's 1921 thesis, covering Hasse's work in the 1930s on elliptic fields and more, and concluding with Weil's final proof in 1948. The main sources are letters which were exchanged among the protagonists during that time, found in various archives, mostly the University Library in Göttingen. The aim is to show how the ideas formed, and how the proper notions and proofs were found, providing a particularly well-documented illustration of how mathematics develops in general. The book is written for mathematicians, but it does not require any special knowledge of particular mathematical fields.
The Riemann Problem in Continuum Physics (Applied Mathematical Sciences #219)
by Philippe G. LeFloch Mai Duc ThanhThis monograph provides a comprehensive study of the Riemann problem for systems of conservation laws arising in continuum physics. It presents the state-of-the-art on the dynamics of compressible fluids and mixtures that undergo phase changes, while remaining accessible to applied mathematicians and engineers interested in shock waves, phase boundary propagation, and nozzle flows. A large selection of nonlinear hyperbolic systems is treated here, including the Saint-Venant, van der Waals, and Baer-Nunziato models. A central theme is the role of the kinetic relation for the selection of under-compressible interfaces in complex fluid flows. This book is recommended to graduate students and researchers who seek new mathematical perspectives on shock waves and phase dynamics.
Riemann Surfaces and Algebraic Curves
by Renzo Cavalieri Eric MilesHurwitz theory, the study of analytic functions among Riemann surfaces, is a classical field and active research area in algebraic geometry. The subject's interplay between algebra, geometry, topology and analysis is a beautiful example of the interconnectedness of mathematics. This book introduces students to this increasingly important field, covering key topics such as manifolds, monodromy representations and the Hurwitz potential. Designed for undergraduate study, this classroom-tested text includes over 100 exercises to provide motivation for the reader. Also included are short essays by guest writers on how they use Hurwitz theory in their work, which ranges from string theory to non-Archimedean geometry. Whether used in a course or as a self-contained reference for graduate students, this book will provide an exciting glimpse at mathematics beyond the standard university classes.
The Riemann Zeta-Function: Theory and Applications (Dover Books on Mathematics)
by Aleksandar IvicThis extensive survey presents a comprehensive and coherent account of Riemann zeta-function theory and applications.

Additional topics include zeros on the critical line, zero-density estimates, the distribution of primes, the Dirichlet divisor problem and various other divisor problems, and Atkinson's formula for the mean square. End-of-chapter notes supply the history of each chapter's topic and allude to related results not covered by the book. 1985 edition.
Riemannian Geometry
by Peter PetersenIntended for a one year course, this text serves as a single source, introducing readers to the important techniques and theorems, while also containing enough background on advanced topics to appeal to those students wishing to specialize in Riemannian geometry. This is one of the few Works to combine both the geometric parts of Riemannian geometry and the analytic aspects of the theory. The book will appeal to a readership that have a basic knowledge of standard manifold theory, including tensors, forms, and Lie groups. Important revisions to the third edition include: a substantial addition of unique and enriching exercises scattered throughout the text; inclusion of an increased number of coordinate calculations of connection and curvature; addition of general formulas for curvature on Lie Groups and submersions; integration of variational calculus into the text allowing for an early treatment of the Sphere theorem using a proof by Berger; incorporation of several recent results about manifolds with positive curvature; presentation of a new simplifying approach to the Bochner technique for tensors with application to bound topological quantities with general lower curvature bounds. From reviews of the first edition: "The book can be highly recommended to all mathematicians who want to get a more profound idea about the most interesting achievements in Riemannian geometry. It is one of the few comprehensive sources of this type. " ―Bernd Wegner, ZbMATH
Riemannian Geometry and Geometric Analysis
by Jürgen JostThis established reference work continues to lead its readers to some of the hottest topics of contemporary mathematical research.

Riemannsche Zahlensphäre und Möbius-Transformationen
by Maximilian WiechaIn diesem Buch wird der Punkt Unendlich zum Greifen nahe! Mit seiner berühmten Zahlenkugel fand Riemann eine Darstellung, in die der „unendlich ferne Punkt“ völlig gleichberechtigt zu den Punkten steht, die durch endliche Zahlenwerte beschrieben werden. Neben der Konstruktionsanleitung dieser Kugel widmen wir uns ausführlich den topologischen Grundlagen der erweiterten komplexen Ebene und den Eigenschaften der stereographischen Projektion. Zudem wird der Bezug zu einem wichtigen Abbildungstypen der Funktionentheorie hergestellt: den Möbius-Transformationen. Möbius-Transformationen bilden die Automorphismen der erweiterten Eben und kommen beispielsweise in der speziellen Relativitätstheorie und der Elektrotechnik („Smith-Diagramm“) zur Anwendung. Die als Lehrskript verfasste Lektüre umfasst das Fundament für das Verständnis beider Themen und beleuchtet ihre Verbindung. Sie enthält den ausführlich ausgearbeiteten Beweis zum berühmten YouTube-Video „Möbius Transformations Revealed“ (2008) von Arnold und Rogness und richtet sich an Interessierte der Mathematik, die bereits mit den Grundlagen der reellen Analysis, linearen Algebra und Differentialgeometrie vertraut sind. Der Autor Maximilian Wiecha studierte an der TU Braunschweig Chemie und Mathematik auf gymnasiales Lehramt. Im Laufe seines Studiums vertiefte er beide Fachrichtungen und beschäftigte sich u. a. mit der selektiven Synthese unsymmetrischer Diboran(IV)-Derivate. Neben seiner Leidenschaft für anorganische und physikalische Chemie, gehören die höhere Mathematik. Sein Interesse liegt auf Forschung und universitärer Lehre.

Rigid Cohomology over Laurent Series Fields
by Christopher Lazda Ambrus PálIn this monograph, the authors develop a new theory of p-adiccohomology for varieties over Laurent series fields in positive characteristic,based on Berthelot's theory of rigid cohomology. Many major fundamentalproperties of these cohomology groups are proven, such as finite dimensionalityand cohomological descent, as well asinterpretations in terms of Monsky-Washnitzer cohomology and Le Stum'soverconvergent site. Applications of this new theory to arithmetic questions, such as l-independenceand the weight monodromy conjecture, are also discussed. The construction of these cohomology groups, analogous to theGalois representations associated tovarieties over local fields in mixed characteristic, fills a major gap in the study of arithmetic cohomology theoriesover function fields. By extending the scope of existing methods, the results presented here also serve as a firststep towards a more general theory of p-adic cohomology overnon-perfect ground fields. Rigid Cohomology over Laurent Series Fields will provide a useful tool for anyone interested in thearithmetic of varieties over local fields of positive characteristic. Appendices on important background material such as rigid cohomology and adicspaces make it as self-contained as possible, and an ideal starting point forgraduate students looking to explore aspects of the classical theory of rigidcohomology and with an eye towards future research in the subject.
Rigid Geometry of Curves and Their Jacobians
by Werner LütkebohmertThis book presents some of the most important aspects of rigid geometry, namely its applications to the study of smooth algebraic curves, of their Jacobians, and of abelian varieties - all of them defined over a complete non-archimedean valued field. The text starts with a survey of the foundation of rigid geometry, and then focuses on a detailed treatment of the applications. In the case of curves with split rational reduction there is a complete analogue to the fascinating theory of Riemann surfaces. In the case of proper smooth group varieties the uniformization and the construction of abelian varieties are treated in detail. Rigid geometry was established by John Tate and was enriched by a formal algebraic approach launched by Michel Raynaud. It has proved as a means to illustrate the geometric ideas behind the abstract methods of formal algebraic geometry as used by Mumford and Faltings. This book should be of great use to students wishing to enter this field, as well as those already working in it.
Rigidity and Symmetry
by Robert Connelly Asia Ivić Weiss Walter WhiteleyThis book contains recent contributions to the fields of rigidity and symmetry with two primary focuses: to present the mathematically rigorous treatment of rigidity of structures and to explore the interaction of geometry, algebra and combinatorics. Contributions present recent trends and advances in discrete geometry, particularly in the theory of polytopes. The rapid development of abstract polytope theory has resulted in a rich theory featuring an attractive interplay of methods and tools from discrete geometry, group theory, classical geometry, hyperbolic geometry and topology. Overall, the book shows how researchers from diverse backgrounds explore connections among the various discrete structures with symmetry as the unifying theme The volume will be a valuable source as an introduction to the ideas of both combinatorial and geometric rigidity theory and its applications, incorporating the surprising impact of symmetry. It will appeal to students at both the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as post docs, structural engineers and chemists.
