Basic Topology 2

Topological Groups, Topology of Manifolds and Lie Groups

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This second of the three-volume book is targeted as a basic course in topology for undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics. It focuses on many variants of topology and its applications in modern analysis, geometry, algebra, and the theory of numbers. Offering a proper background on topology, analysis, and algebra, this volume discusses the topological groups and topological vector spaces that provide many interesting geometrical objects which relate algebra with geometry and analysis. This volume follows a systematic and comprehensive elementary approach to the topology related to manifolds, emphasizing differential topology. It further communicates the history of the emergence of the concepts leading to the development of topological groups, manifolds, and also Lie groups as mathematical topics with their motivations. This book will promote the scope, power, and active learning of the subject while covering a wide range of theories and applications in a balanced unified way.

(Gold Medalist), is Professor at the Department of Mathematics, Presidency University, Kolkata, India. A recipient of the President of India Medal, ISCA Young Scientist Award, and the NANUM Fund by International Mathematical Union, Professor Adhikari did his Ph.D. from the Indian Statistical Institute, India, under the guidance of Professor Bimal Roy, the former Director of the Indian Statistical Institute. Earlier, Professor Adhikari was a faculty member at the Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Calcutta, Kolkata, from July 2006-January 2019. He is the founder Secretary of the Institute for Mathematics, Bioinformatics, Information Technology & Computer Science (IMBIC), India, having branches in Sweden and Japan, and the Treasurer of the Cryptology Research Society of India. He was the former Eastern Zonal coordinator of the M.Sc. and Ph.D. scholarship examinations by the National Board of Higher Mathematics (NBHM). He was a Post-Doctoral fellow at INRIA-Rocquencourt, France, and Visiting Scientist at Linkoping University, Sweden; Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. Professor Adhikari delivered invited talks at various universities and institutions abroad. He has authored four textbooks on mathematics including Basic Modern Algebra with Applications (Springer, 2014) and edited two volumes including Mathematical and Statistical Applications in Life Sciences and Engineering (Springer, 2017). His research papers have been published in reputed international journals, conference proceedings and contributed volumes. Professor Adhikari is one of the investigators of the twelve sponsored research projects funded by agencies like DRDO, WESEE (the Ministry of Defense), DST, DIT, NBHM of the Government of India, including two international collaborative projects supported by DST-JSPS and DST-JST (both Indo-Japan projects). Five of his Ph.D. students have already been awarded degrees, and two of the students have submitted their theses and, currently, three Ph.D. scholars are conducting research under his supervision.
