    Description

    Tight and taut manifolds form an important and special class of surfaces within differential geometry. This book contains in-depth articles by experts in the field as well as an extensive and comprehensive bibliography. This survey will open new avenues for further research and will be an important addition to any geometer's library.

    • Comprehensive survey of the field with articles by the leading experts - a 'must read' for anyone wishing to study the field
    • Dedicated to the memory of Nicolaas Kuiper, a leader in the field, and the first article is an unfinished (and unpublished) survey of tight immersions and maps written by Kuiper himself
    • Complete bibliography of the entire field

    Compositio Mathematica

    Format: Journal

    Compositio Mathematica is a prestigious, well-established journal publishing first-class research papers that traditionally focus on the mainstream of pure mathematics. Compositio Mathematica has a broad scope which includes the fields of algebra, number theory, topology, algebraic and differential geometry and (geometric) analysis. Papers on other topics are welcome if they are of broad interest. All contributions are required to meet high standards of quality and originality. The Journal has an international editorial board reflected in the journal content. Online access is free for all papers published 5 years ago or more. Papers published before 1997 are available from the NUMDAM website. Compositio is owned and published by non-profit organisations (the Foundation Compositio Mathematica and the London Mathematical Society) that use any surplus income from journal subscriptions to sponsor mathematics and mathematical research.

    Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems

    Format: Journal

    Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems focuses on a rich variety of research areas which, although diverse, employ as common themes global dynamical methods. The journal provides a focus for this important and flourishing area of mathematics and brings together many major contributions in the field. The journal acts as a forum for central problems of dynamical systems and of interactions of dynamical systems with areas such as differential geometry, number theory, operator algebras, celestial and statistical mechanics, and biology.

    Mathematical Proceedings is one of the few high-quality journals publishing original research papers that cover the whole range of pure and applied mathematics, theoretical physics and statistics. All branches of pure mathematics are covered, in particular logic and foundations, number theory, algebra, geometry, algebraic and geometric topology, classical and functional analysis, dynamical systems, probability and statistics. On the applied side, mechanics, mathematical physics, relativity and cosmology are included.
