By Kai Cieliebak, Yakov Eliashberg

This publication is dedicated to the interaction among advanced and symplectic geometry in affine advanced manifolds. Affine advanced (a.k.a. Stein) manifolds have canonically outfitted into them symplectic geometry that's chargeable for many phenomena in complicated geometry and research. The target of the booklet is the exploration of this symplectic geometry (the street from "Stein to Weinstein") and its functions within the complicated geometric international of Stein manifolds (the street "back"). this can be the 1st booklet which systematically explores this connection, hence delivering a brand new method of the classical topic of Stein manifolds. It additionally comprises the 1st exact research of Weinstein manifolds, the symplectic opposite numbers of Stein manifolds, which play a major position in symplectic and make contact with topology. Assuming just a basic heritage from differential topology, the e-book presents introductions to a few of the concepts from the speculation of services of a number of advanced variables, symplectic geometry, h-principles, and Morse thought that input the proofs of the most effects. the most result of the e-book are unique result of the authors, and a number of other of those effects seem the following for the 1st time. The booklet might be priceless for all scholars and mathematicians attracted to geometric elements of advanced research, symplectic and make contact with topology, and the interconnections among those topics.

Conceptual Spaces: The Geometry of Thought

Inside cognitive technological know-how, methods at the moment dominate the matter of modeling representations. The symbolic process perspectives cognition as computation regarding symbolic manipulation. Connectionism, a distinct case of associationism, versions institutions utilizing man made neuron networks. Peter Gardenfors bargains his concept of conceptual representations as a bridge among the symbolic and connectionist methods.

Decorated Teichmuller Theory

There's an basically “tinker-toy” version of a trivial package over the classical Teichmüller area of a punctured floor, referred to as the adorned Teichmüller area, the place the fiber over some degree is the distance of all tuples of horocycles, one approximately each one puncture. This version results in an extension of the classical mapping classification teams known as the Ptolemy groupoids and to sure matrix types fixing comparable enumerative difficulties, each one of which has proved worthwhile either in arithmetic and in theoretical physics.

The Lin-Ni's problem for mean convex domains

The authors end up a few subtle asymptotic estimates for optimistic blow-up strategies to $\Delta u+\epsilon u=n(n-2)u^{\frac{n+2}{n-2}}$ on $\Omega$, $\partial_\nu u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$, $\Omega$ being a delicate bounded area of $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 3$. particularly, they convey that focus can ensue in simple terms on boundary issues with nonpositive suggest curvature whilst $n=3$ or $n\geq 7$.

14. Let Σ be a cooriented hypersurface in a K¨ ahler manifold (X, J, ω) with second fundamental form IIΣ . 14) LΣ (X) = IIΣ (X) + IIΣ (JX). In particular, Σ is J-convex if and only if at every point x ∈ Σ the mean normal curvature along any complex line in Tx Σ is positive. 7. Examples of J-convex functions and hypersurfaces An important class of hypersurfaces are boundaries of tubular neighborhoods of submanifolds. In this section we examine their J-convexity for the cases of totally real submanifolds and complex hypersurfaces.

Since W ∩ JW = {0}, W contains a complex line L. Let C be a complex curve through p tangent to L. Then φ|C attains a local maximum at p. 2. 2, we can speak about continuous J-convex functions on almost complex manifolds as functions whose restrictions to all complex curves are subharmonic. Such functions are also called (strictly) plurisubharmonic. 5. A continuous function φ : Cn ⊃ U → R is i-convex if and only if its restriction to every complex line is subharmonic. This means that there exists a positive continuous function m : U → R such that 2π 1 1 φ(z + weiθ )dθ φ(z) + m(z)|w|2 ≤ 4 2π 0 for all z ∈ U and sufficiently small w ∈ Cn (depending on z).
