Since its founding in the late 17th century as a mill town, Glen Cove has been simultaneously rural and industrial, patrician and working class. A city of multiple ethnicities and close family ties, Glen Cove has been home to generations of immigrants who came to work and stayed to live, as well as to the children of America's elite who built their summer homes on the shores of Hempstead Harbor. In Glen Cove Revisited, "The Heart of the Gold Coast" is seen as only insiders know it, through images of the mill ponds and barnyards, estates and factories, schools and neighborhoods, and the people, famous and unknown, which make up this microcosm of America. Photographer Joan Harrison is a profes...
This book is about equivariant real and complex topological $K$-theory for finite groups. Its main focus is on the study of real connective $K$-theory including $ko^*(BG)$ as a ring and $ko_*(BG)$ as a module over it. In the course of their study the authors define equivariant versions of connective $KO$-theory and connective $K$-theory with reality, in the sense of Atiyah, which give well-behaved, Noetherian, uncompleted versions of the theory. They prove local cohomology and completion theorems for these theories, giving a means of calculation as well as establishing their formal credentials. In passing from the complex to the real theories in the connective case, the authors describe the ...
The purpose of this book is to present a Morse theoretic study of a very general class of homogeneous operators that includes the $p$-Laplacian as a special case. The $p$-Laplacian operator is a quasilinear differential operator that arises in many applications such as non-Newtonian fluid flows and turbulent filtration in porous media. Infinite dimensional Morse theory has been used extensively to study semilinear problems, but only rarely to study the $p$-Laplacian. The standard tools of Morse theory for computing critical groups, such as the Morse lemma, the shifting theorem, and various linking and local linking theorems based on eigenspaces, do not apply to quasilinear problems where the...
The question of the existence of isometric embeddings of Riemannian manifolds in Euclidean space is already more than a century old. This book presents, in a systematic way, results both local and global and in arbitrary dimension but with a focus on the isometric embedding of surfaces in ${\mathbb R}^3$. The emphasis is on those PDE techniques which are essential to the most important results of the last century. The classic results in this book include the Janet-Cartan Theorem, Nirenberg's solution of the Weyl problem, and Nash's Embedding Theorem, with a simplified proof by Gunther. The book also includes the main results from the past twenty years, both local and global, on the isometric...
This book contains the proceedings of the XVIII Latin American Algebra Colloquium, held from August 3-8, 2009, in São Paulo, Brazil. It includes research articles as well as up-to-date surveys covering several directions of current research in algebra, such as Asymptotic Codimension Growth, Hopf Algebras, Structure Theory of both Associative and Non-Associative Algebras, Partial Actions of Groups on Rings, and contributions to Coding Theory.
