About this title

Synopsis

""Functionals of Finite Riemann Surfaces"" is a comprehensive exploration of the mathematical properties of finite Riemann surfaces, written by Menahem Schiffer. The book is part of the Princeton Mathematical Series, Volume 16, and is intended for advanced students and researchers in the field of mathematics.The book presents a detailed analysis of the functionals that can be defined on finite Riemann surfaces, including the Dirichlet integral, the Bergman kernel, and the Green's function. The author explores the connections between these functionals and the geometry of the surfaces, as well as their relationship to other areas of mathematics such as complex analysis and potential theory.Throughout the book, Schiffer provides numerous examples and applications of the theory, including the study of conformal mappings, harmonic functions, and the Riemann mapping theorem. He also discusses the role of finite Riemann surfaces in the study of algebraic curves and moduli spaces.Overall, ""Functionals of Finite Riemann Surfaces"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the mathematical properties of these surfaces and their applications in various areas of mathematics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About the Author

Menahem Max Schiffer (1911–97) taught at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Harvard, and Princeton before joining the faculty at Stanford University, where he was Chairman of the Mathematics Department from 1954 to 1959 and the Robert Grimmett Professor of Mathematics. His previous Dover title is Kernel Functions and Elliptic Differential Equations in Mathematics and Physics.
Donald Clayton Spencer (1921–2001) ranks among the most prominent American mathematicians of his generation. He taught at Princeton and Stanford and collaborated with Kunihiko Kodaira on the modern theory of deformation of complex structures. He is co-author of Dover's Advanced Calculus.
