The most modern and thorough treatment of unstable homotopy theory available. The focus is on those methods from algebraic topology which underlie the work of Cohen, Moore, and the author. Suitable for a course in unstable homotopy theory, it is also a valuable reference for experts and graduate students alike.

Hilbert's Tenth Problem - to find an algorithm to determine whether a polynomial equation in several variables with integer coefficients has integer solutions - was shown to be unsolvable in the late sixties. This book presents an account of results extending Hilbert's Tenth Problem to integrally closed subrings of global fields.

This is a coherent explanation for the existence of the 26 known sporadic simple groups originally arising from many unrelated contexts. The given proofs build on the intimate relations between general group theory, ordinary character theory, modular representation theory and algorithmic algebra described in the first volume.

Students learning the subject from scratch will value this comprehensive text, which presents three major types of dynamics, from the basics to some of the latest results: measure preserving transformations; continuous maps on compact spaces; and operators on function spaces. It will also be a valuable reference for experienced researchers.

This is a unified exposition of the theory of symmetric designs with emphasis on recent developments. The authors cover the combinatorial aspects of the theory giving particular attention to the construction of symmetric designs and related objects. For all researchers in combinatorial designs, coding theory, and finite geometries.

The study of higher categories is attracting growing interest for its many applications in topology, algebraic geometry, mathematical physics and category theory. Following an extensive discussion of many current approaches, Carlos Simpson explains the first concrete and workable theory of n-categories in detail.

In this book the author illustrates the power of the theory of subcartesian differential spaces for investigating spaces with singularities. The book covers applications in pure and applied mathematics and in mechanics, and it will interest researchers and graduate students in these areas.

An H(b) space is defined as a collection of analytic functions which are in the image of an operator. The theory of H(b) spaces bridges two classical subjects: complex analysis and operator theory, which makes it both appealing and demanding. The first volume of this comprehensive treatment is devoted to the preliminary subjects required to understand the foundation of H(b) spaces, such as Hardy spaces, Fourier analysis, integral representation theorems, Carleson measures, Toeplitz and Hankel operators, various types of shift operators, and Clark measures. The second volume focuses on the central theory. Both books are accessible to graduate students as well as researchers: each volume contains numerous exercises and hints, and figures are included throughout to illustrate the theory. Together, these two volumes provide everything the reader needs to understand and appreciate this beautiful branch of mathematics.

This rich mathematical text will help both graduate students and researchers master modern topology and domain theory, the key mathematics behind the semantics of computer languages. It deals with elementary and advanced concepts of topology and the theory is illuminated by many examples, figures and more than 450 exercises.

This categorical perspective on homotopy theory helps consolidate and simplify one's understanding of derived functors, homotopy limits and colimits, and model categories, among others.

This monograph provides a comprehensive treatment of the theory of pseudo-reductive groups and gives their classification in a usable form. This second edition has been revised and updated, with Chapter 9 being completely rewritten via the useful new notion of 'minimal type' for pseudo-reductive groups.
