Graphs And Patterns In Mathematics And Theoretical Physics: Proceedings Of The Stony Brook Conference On Graphs And Patterns In Mathematics And . (Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics)

Graphs provide a natural point of access for certain fields such as dynamics and quantum theory. In these proceedings from the conference of June 2001, participants describe their experience and research in developing graphs and patterns in such areas as Feynman diagrams (including in Hopf algebras and symmetries), algebraic structures (such as universal algebra, differential equations in noncommutative calculus, and twisted chiral de Rham algebras), manifolds, invariants and mirror symmetry (as in tri-level variants of three-folds, Massey products and the Johnson homomorphism), combinatorial aspects of dynamics (such as extensions, quotients and generalized pseudo-Anosov maps), and physics (such as in applications to study of black holes and the big bang).
