Dynamics, Geometry, Number Theory The Impact of Margulis on Modern Mathematics

By: Fisher,DavidContributor(s): Kleinbock, Dmitry | Soifer, GregoryMaterial type: TextTextLanguage: English Publication details: Chicago The University of Chicago Press 2022Description: vi, 566 pISBN: 9780226804026 (HB)Subject(s): Dynamics | Number theory | Mathematics
Contents:
Part I. Arithmeticity, superrigidity, normal subgroups Part II. Discrete subgroups Part III. Expanders, representations, spectral theory Part IV. Homogeneous dynamics
Summary: "Mathematicians David Fisher, Dmitry Kleinbock, and Gregory Soifer highlight in this edited collection the foundations and evolution of research by mathematician Gregory Margulis. Margulis is unusual in the degree to which his solutions to particular problems have opened new vistas of mathematics. Margulis' ideas were central, for example, to developments that led to the recent Fields Medals of Elon Lindenstrauss and Maryam Mirzhakhani. The broad goal of this volume is to introduce these areas, their development, their use in current research, and the connections between them. The foremost experts on the topic have written each of the chapters in this volume with a view to making them accessible by graduate students and by experts in other parts of mathematics"--
