Deformations of Mathematical Structures II: Hurwitz-Type Structures and Applications to Surface Physics. Selected Papers from the Seminar on Deformations, Lódz-Malinka, 1988/92 / Edition 1

by Julian Lawrynowicz

Overview

This volume presents a collection of papers on geometric structures in the context of Hurwitz-type structures and applications to surface physics.
The first part of this volume concentrates on the analysis of geometric structures. Topics covered are: Clifford structures, Hurwitz pair structures, Riemannian or Hermitian manifolds, Dirac and Breit operators, Penrose-type and Kaluza—Klein-type structures.
The second part contains a study of surface physics structures, in particular boundary conditions, broken symmetry and surface decorations, as well as nonlinear solutions and dynamical properties: a near surface region.
For mathematicians and mathematical physicists interested in the applications of mathematical structures.
