Noncompact Problems At The Intersection Of Geometry Analysis And Topology

Download or read book Noncompact Problems at the Intersection of Geometry, Analysis, and Topology written by Abbas Bahri and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2004 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This proceedings volume contains articles from the conference held at Rutgers University in honor of Haim Brezis and Felix Browder, two mathematicians who have had a profound impact on partial differential equations, functional analysis, and geometry. Mathematicians attending the conference had interests in noncompact variational problems, pseudo-holomorphic curves, singular and smooth solutions to problems admitting a conformal (or some group) invariance, Sobolev spaces on manifolds, and configuration spaces. One day of the proceedings was devoted to Einstein equations and related topics. Contributors to the volume include, among others, Sun-Yung A. Chang, Luis A. Caffarelli, Carlos E. Kenig, and Gang Tian. The material is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in problems in analysis and differential equations on noncompact manifolds.
