Analysis
Geometric Analysis andIntegral Geometry
Eric Todd Quinto, FultonGonzalez, and Jens GerlachChristensen, Tufts University,Medford, MA, Editors
This volume contains the proceedingsof the AMS Special Session on RadonTransforms and Geometric Analysis, inhonor of Sigurdur Helgason’s 85th Birthday,
held from January 4–7, 2012, in Boston, MA, and the Tufts UniversityWorkshop on Geometric Analysis on Euclidean and HomogeneousSpaces, held from January 8–9, 2012, in Medford, MA.
This volume provides an historical overview of several decades inintegral geometry and geometric analysis as well as recent advances inthese fields and closely related areas. It contains several articlesfocusing on the mathematical work of Sigurdur Helgason, includingan overview of his research by Gestur Ólafsson and Robert Stanton.The first article in the volume contains Helgason’s own reminiscencesabout the development of the group-theoretical aspects of the Radontransform and its relation to geometric analysis. Other contributionscover Radon transforms, harmonic analysis, Penrose transforms,representation theory, wavelets, partial differential operators ongroups, and inverse problems in tomography and cloaking that arerelated to integral geometry.
Many articles contain both an overview of their respective fieldsas well as new research results. The volume will therefore appealto experienced researchers as well as a younger generation ofmathematicians. With a good blend of pure and applied topics thevolume will be a valuable source for interdisciplinary research.

Probability and Statistics
Mathematics ofProbability
Daniel W. Stroock, MassachusettsInstitute of Technology, Cambridge,MA
This book covers the basics of modernprobability theory. It begins with probabilitytheory on finite and countable samplespaces and then passes from there to aconcise course on measure theory, which is
followed by some initial applications to probability theory, includingindependence and conditional expectations. The second half of thebook deals with Gaussian random variables, with Markov chains,with a few continuous parameter processes, including Brownianmotion, and, finally, with martingales, both discrete and continuousparameter ones.
The book is a self-contained introduction to probability theory andthe measure theory required to study it.
Contents: Some background and preliminaries; Probability theoryon uncountable sample spaces; Some applications to probabilitytheory; The central limit theorem and Gaussian distributions; Discreteparameter stochastic processes; Some continuous-time processes;Martingales; Notation; Bibliography; Index.

Analysis
Infinitesimal Geometryof Quasiconformal andBi-Lipschitz Mappings inthe Plane
Bogdan Bojarski, Institute ofMathematics, PAN, Warsaw, Poland,Vladimir Gutlyanskii, NationalAcademy of Sciences of Ukraine,Donetsk, Ukraine, Olli Martio,Finnish Academy of Science andLetters, Helsinki, Finland, andVladimir Ryazanov, NationalAcademy of Sciences of Ukraine,Donetsk, Ukraine
This book is intended for researchers interested in new aspectsof local behavior of plane mappings and their applications. Thepresentation is self-contained, but the reader is assumed to knowbasic complex and real analysis.
The study of the local and boundary behavior of quasiconformaland bi-Lipschitz mappings in the plane forms the core of the book.The concept of the infinitesimal space is used to investigate thebehavior of a mapping at points without differentiability. Thisconcept, based on compactness properties, is applied to regularityproblems of quasiconformal mappings and quasiconformal curves,boundary behavior, weak and asymptotic conformality, localwinding properties, variation of quasiconformal mappings, andcriteria of univalence. Quasiconformal and bi-Lipschitz mappingsare instrumental for understanding elasticity, control theory andtomography, and the book also offers a new look at the classical areassuch as the boundary regularity of a conformal map. Complicatedlocal behavior is illustrated by many examples.
The text offers a detailed development of the background for graduatestudents and researchers. Starting with the classical methods to studyquasiconformal mappings, this treatment advances to the conceptof the infinitesimal space and then relates it to other regularityproperties of mappings in Part II. The new unexpected connectionsbetween quasiconformal and bi-Lipschitz mappings are treated inPart III. There is an extensive bibliography.
This item will also be of interest to those working in differentialequations.

Complex Analysis
Joaquim Bruna and Julià Cufí,Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona,Spain
The theory of functions of a complexvariable is a central theme in mathematicalanalysis that has links to several branchesof mathematics. Understanding the basicsof the theory is necessary for anyoneinterested in general mathematical training
or for anyone who wants to use mathematics in applied sciences ortechnology.
The book presents the basic theory of analytic functions of a complexvariable and their points of contact with other parts of mathematicalanalysis. This results in some new approaches to a number of topicswhen compared to the current literature on the subject.
Some issues covered are: a real version of the Cauchy–Goursattheorem, theorems of vector analysis with weak regularityassumptions, an approach to the concept of holomorphic functions ofreal variables, Green’s formula with multiplicities, Cauchy’s theoremfor locally exact forms, a study in parallel of Poisson’s equation andthe inhomogeneous Cauchy–Riemann equations, the relationshipbetween Green’s function and conformal mapping, the connectionbetween the solution of Poisson’s equation and zeros of holomorphicfunctions, and the Whittaker–Shannon theorem of informationtheory.
The text can be used as a manual for complex variable courses ofvarious levels and as a reference book. The only prerequisite is aworking knowledge of the topology of the plane and the differentialcalculus for functions of several real variables. A detailed treatment ofharmonic functions also makes the book useful as an introduction topotential theory.

Erwin Schrödinger—50Years After
Wolfgang L. Reiter and JakobYngvason, University of Vienna,Austria, Editors
Erwin Schrödinger (1887–1961) was anAustrian physicist famous for the equationnamed after him and which earned himthe Nobel Prize in 1933. This book containslectures presented at the international
symposium “Erwin Schrödinger —50 Years After”, held at the ErwinSchrödinger International Institute for Mathematical Physics inJanuary 2011 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Schrödinger’sdeath.
The text covers a broad spectrum of topics ranging from personalreminiscences to foundational questions about quantum mechanicsand historical accounts of Schrödinger’s work. Besides the lecturespresented at the symposium the volume also contains articlesspecially written for this occasion.
The contributions give an overview of Schrödinger’s legacy to thesciences from the standpoint of some contemporary leading scholarsin the field.

Local Function Spaces,Heat and Navier–StokesEquations
Hans Triebel, University of Jena,Germany
In this book a new approach is presentedto exhibit relations between Sobolev spaces,Besov spaces, and Hölder–Zygmund spaceson the one hand and Morrey–Campanato
spaces on the other. Morrey–Campanato spaces extend the notionof functions of bounded mean oscillation. These spaces play animportant role in the theory of linear and nonlinear PDEs.
Chapters 1–3 deal with local smoothness spaces in Euclidean n-spacebased on the Morrey–Campanato refinement of the Lebesgue spaces.The presented approach relies on wavelet decompositions. This isapplied in Chapter 4 to Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequalities. Chapter 5deals with linear and nonlinear heat equations in global and localfunction spaces. The obtained assertions about function spaces andnonlinear heat equations are used in Chapter 6 to study Navier–Stokesequations.
The book is addressed to graduate students and mathematicianswith a working knowledge of basic elements of (global) functionspaces and an interest in applications to nonlinear PDEs with heat andNavier–Stokes equations as prototypes.
