The theory of positive or completely positive maps from one matrix algebra to another is the mathematical theory underlying the quantum mechanics of finite systems, as well as much of quantum information and computing. Inequalities are fundamental to the subject, and a watershed event in its development was the proof of the strong subadditivity of ......

This monograph offers a comprehensive and accessible treatment of both classical and modern approaches to the stability analysis of nonlinear waves in Hamiltonian systems. Starting with a review of stability of equilibrium points and periodic orbits in finite-dimensional systems, it advances to the infinite-dimensional setting, addressing orbital ......
Over the past hundred years, the Heisenberg group has been recognized as an important object in several areas of mathematics, including group representation theory, mathematical physics, complex analysis in several variables, partial differential equations, and differential geometry. This book presents a concise and readable introduction to all ......
Ergodic theory is concerned with the measure-theoretic or statistical properties of a dynamical system. This book provides a conversational introduction to the topic, guiding the reader from the classical questions of measure theory to modern results such as the polynomial recurrence theorem. Applications to number theory and combinatorics enhance ......
The spread of memes and misinformation on social media, political redistricting, gentrification in urban communities, pedestrian movement in crowds, and the dynamics of voters are among the many social phenomena that researchers investigate in the field of complex systems. In the study of complex social systems, there is also often societal ......
This book provides an engaging collection of classroom projects which promote active-learning opportunities for high school and university students. Each of the nine labs is connected to a real-world problem and is designed to facilitate group work. The topics covered are varied, ranging from origami and geographic maps to the shape of bridges and ......
