This volume consists of surveys on topics to which Bernd Sturmfels has contributed over his mathematical career: invariant theory, Grobner bases, toric ideals and varieties, algebraic methods in discrete and convex optimization, hypergeometric systems, algebraic statistics, likelihood geometry, tropical geometry, chemical reaction networks, ......
Scenes from the Early History of Algebraic Number Theory
In mathematics, technical difficulties can spark groundbreaking ideas. This book explores one such challenge: a problem that arose in the formative years of algebraic number theory and played a major role in the early development of the field. When nineteenth-century mathematicians set out to generalize E. E. Kummer's theory of ideal divisors in ......
This volume contains the combined Proceedings of the Second International Meeting on Commutative Algebra and Related Areas (SIMCARA) held from July 22-26, 2019, at the Universidade de Sao Paulo, Sao Carlos, Brazil, and the AMS Special Session on Commutative Algebra, held from September 14-15, 2019, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, ......
This book provides an introduction to classical methods in commutative algebra and their applications to number theory, algebraic geometry, and computational algebra. The use of number theory as a motivating theme throughout the book provides a rich and interesting context for the material covered. In addition, many results are reinterpreted from ......

The Memoirs of the AMS is devoted to the publication of new research in all areas of pure and applied mathematics. The Memoirs is designed particularly to publish long papers of groups of cognate papers in book form, and is under the supervision of the Editorial Committee of the AMS journal Transactions of the American Mathematical Society. All ......
This volume contains the proceedings of the Conference on Compactifications, Configurations, and Cohomology, held from October 22-24, 2021, at Northeastern University, Boston, MA. Some of the most active and fruitful mathematical research occurs at the interface of algebraic geometry, representation theory, and topology. Noteworthy examples ......
The central theme of this book is the interaction between the curvature of a complete Riemannian manifold and its topology and global geometry. The first five chapters are preparatory in nature. They begin with a very concise introduction to Riemannian geometry, followed by an exposition of Toponogov's theorem-the first such treatment in a book in ......
