Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Moduli theory is the study of how objects, typically in algebraic geometry but sometimes in other areas of mathematics, vary in families and is fundamental to an understanding of the objects themselves. First formalised in the 1960s, it represents a significant topic of modern mathematical research with strong connections to many areas of mathematics (including geometry, topology and number theory) and other disciplines such as theoretical physics. This book, which arose from a programme at the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge, is an ideal way for graduate students and more experienced researchers to become acquainted with the wealth of ideas and problems in moduli theory and related areas. The reader will find articles on both fundamental material and cutting-edge research topics, such as: algebraic stacks; BPS states and the P = W conjecture; stability conditions; derived differential geometry; and counting curves in algebraic varieties, all written by leading experts.…

Rare, short-lived high quality satirical journal written and printed in Bradford, with all 52 issues bound into a single volume. The Jackdaw was published in Bradford during 1904-1905 with the intention of poking fun at the local establishment, municipal spending, and the eccentricities of Victorian/Edwardian Bradford society - the very era that J B Priestley would satirise in his novels and plays, notably, An Inspector Calls. Surprising to this cataloguer is the quality of the writing and the numerous highly accomplished illustrations, cartoons, advertisements, social commentary, half-tone photographs and illustrated handbills mocking contemporary news stories. OCLC locates copies at University of Bradford, Duke and the University of British Columbia only. DESCRIPTION: Half calf over green cloth boards, titled in gilt over red panel to sturdy 6 panelled spine; a little bumped to corners and spine top, sides and tail. Just cracking over inner hinges but otherwise entirely sound with a little spine slant evident. Ownership inscriptions to front free connect the volume to Bradford and Harrogate, ' This book was bequeathed by the late Mr P.V. Sowden, who died in 1927, to William Shaw'. Contains Volumes 1 & 2 made up of issue numbers 1 -52 dated between April 14 1904 - April 16 1905. Each issue 18pp, clean, unmarked and in very fresh condition throughout. An extremely rich historical resource produced in an era when provincial journalism was rapidly expanding, offering an alternative, unfiltered, and highly opinionated perspective in contrast to the traditional regional newspapers of the day such as the Bradford Daily Telegraph.
