Informationen zum Autor Anthony G. O'Farrell studied at Brown University and worked at the University of California, Los Angeles, then occupied the Chair of Mathematics at NUI, Maynooth for 37 years, with visiting positions in Britain, France, Spain, Israel and the USA. He is a member of the Royal Irish Academy, and has served as President of the Irish Mathematical Society. He has published four books and over 100 papers. Klappentext An accessible yet systematic account of reversibility that demonstrates its impact throughout many diverse areas of mathematics. Zusammenfassung The powerful and far-reaching concept of reversibility is treated for the first time in book form. The authors establish basic principles of reversibility and demonstrate its impact in group theory! geometry! complex analysis and number theory! while describing open research problems throughout. Accessible at the advanced undergraduate level and above. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Origins; 2. Basic ideas; 3. Finite groups; 4. The classical groups; 5. Compact groups; 6. Isometry groups; 7.
