Synopsis

Former students and other participants in Arnold's weekly Moscow seminar offer 21 papers on topics close to his heart, including symplectic and contact geometry, mathematical physics, and dynamical systems in addition to singularity theory itself. Among their topics are polynomial invariants of Legendrian links and plane fronts, imaginary place curves and spin quotients of complex surfaces by complex conjugation, informal complexification and Poisson structures on moduli spaces, Hamiltonian loops and Arnold's principle, and stratified Picard-Lefschetz theory with twisted coefficients. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
