The biennial meetings at Sao Carlos have helped create a worldwide community of experts and young researchers working on singularity theory, with a special focus on applications to topics in both pure and applied mathematics. This volume brings together surveys and recent work from the tenth Sao Carlos meeting.

Within algebraic topology, the prominent role of multiplicative cohomology theories has led to a great deal of foundational research on ring spectra and in the 1990s this gave rise to significant new approaches to constructing categories of spectra and ring-like objects in them. These results are presented in this book.

The famous theorem of Feit and Thompson states that every group of odd order is solvable. The first part of the proof appeared in Bender and Glauberman's Local Analysis for the Odd Order Theorem. This book, first published in 2000, provides the character-theoretic second part and thus completes the proof.

This book, first published in 2000, focuses on homological aspects of equivariant modules and discusses interactions between commutative ring theory and representation theory. The book aims to unify two important examples of Auslander-Buchweitz approximations in these areas of algebra. It is primarily aimed at researchers but will also be suitable for graduate students.

Perturbation of the boundary is a rather neglected topic in the study of PDEs for two main reasons. First, on the surface it appears trivial, merely a change of variables and an application of the chain rule. Second, carrying out such a change of variables frequently results in long and difficult calculations. In this book, first published in 2005, the author carefully discusses a calculus that allows the computational morass to be bypassed, and he goes on to develop more general forms of standard theorems, which help answer a wide range of problems involving boundary perturbations. Many examples are presented to demonstrate the usefulness of the author's approach, while on the other hand many tantalizing open questions remain. Anyone whose research involves PDEs will find something of interest in this book.

This accessible volume arises from a series of intensive mathematics workshops where prominent set theorists give one-day lectures that focus on important new directions, methods, tools and results.

Moduli theory 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 presents articles on both fundamental material and advanced research topics, accessible at the graduate level and above.

Focusing on the role that automorphisms and equivalence relations play in the algebraic theory of minimal sets provides an original treatment of some key aspects of abstract topological dynamics. Such an approach is presented in this lucid and self-contained book, leading to simpler proofs of classical results, as well as providing motivation for further study. Minimal flows on compact Hausdorff spaces are studied as icers on the universal minimal flow M. The group of the icer representing a minimal flow is defined as a subgroup of the automorphism group G of M, and icers are constructed explicitly as relative products using subgroups of G. Many classical results are then obtained by examining the structure of the icers on M, including a proof of the Furstenberg structure theorem for distal extensions. This book is designed as both a guide for graduate students, and a source of interesting new ideas for researchers.

This collection, the first of two volumes arising from an LMS-EPSRC Durham Symposium, explores the importance of automorphic forms and Galois representations in number theory. The expository articles and research papers within cover recent progress in anabelian geometry, p-adic Hodge theory, the Langlands program, and p-adic methods in number theory.

Hodge theory lies at the heart of modern algebraic geometry and this volume explores the many contexts in which it arises, including theoretical physics. The book will be of value to graduate students and seasoned researchers alike, for its mixture of cutting-edge research and expository articles.

Many geometrical features of manifolds and fibre bundles modelled on Frechet spaces either cannot be defined or are difficult to handle directly. This is due to the inherent deficiencies of Frechet spaces; for example, the lack of a general solvability theory for differential equations, the non-existence of a reasonable Lie group structure on the general linear group of a Frechet space, and the non-existence of an exponential map in a Frechet-Lie group. In this book, the authors describe in detail a new approach that overcomes many of these limitations by using projective limits of geometrical objects modelled on Banach spaces. It will appeal to researchers and graduate students from a variety of backgrounds with an interest in infinite-dimensional geometry. The book concludes with an appendix outlining potential applications and motivating future research.
