Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 359, No. 1 (Jan., 2007), pp. 333-348 (16 pages) In this paper we study the behaviour of the Lefschetz property under the blow-up construction.

In this paper we present rotational symplectic geometry for use in modern biomechanics of human motion. Generalized Hamiltonian formalism has been formulated on the configuration manifold consisting ...

Twenty-seven years ago, a group of physicists made an accidental discovery that flipped mathematics on its head. The physicists were trying to work out the details of string theory when they observed ...

Russian-American mathematician and Wolf Prize laureate Yakov Eliashberg delivered a public talk at IIT Madras on Thursday, as part of the inaugural annual TNQ Distinguished Lecture in Mathematics. The ...

Classical field theories provide a framework for describing fundamental interactions and physical phenomena through the use of continuous fields defined over space and time. Central to these theories ...

Almost thirty years ago, a group of physicists noticed some of the most important numbers in mathematics appearing where they didn’t seem to belong. A new proof finally explains why they’re there. The ...
