Basic bundle theory and K-Cohomology invariants

Based on several recent courses given to mathematical physics students, this volume is an introduction to bundle theory with the aim to provide newcomers to the field with solid foundations in topological K-theory. A fundamental theme, emphasized in the book, centers around the gluing of local bundle data related to bundles into a global object. One renewed motivation for studying this subject, which has developed for almost 50 years in many directions, comes from quantum field theory, especially string theory, where topological invariants play an important role.

Algèbre, Chapitre 9 = Algebra, Chapter 9

Sesquilinear and quadratic forms : The Mathematics Elements of Nicolas BOURBAKI aim to provide a rigorous, systematic presentation without prerequisites of mathematics from their foundations. This ninth chapter of the Book of Algebra, the second Book of the treatise, is devoted to quadratic, symplectic or Hermitian forms and to associated groups.

Algèbre commutative, Chapitre 10 = Commutative Algebra, Chapter 10

Depth, Regularity, Duality The Mathematics Elements of Nicolas BOURBAKI aim to provide a rigorous, systematic presentation without prerequisites of mathematics from their foundations. This volume of the Book of Commutative Algebra, Book 7 of the treatise, is a continuation of the earlier chapters. It introduces in particular the notions of depth and smoothness, fundamental in algebraic geometry. It ends with the introduction of the dualizing modules and the Grothendieck duality.

Algebras, Rings and Modules ; Vol.2

This book provides both the classical aspects of the theory of groups and their representations as well as a general introduction to the modern theory of representations including the representations of quivers and finite partially ordered sets and their applications to finite dimensional algebras.
