Eiesland immigrated to the USA in 1888 after completing his secondary education in Christiansand. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of South Dakota in 1891. He was a mathematics professor from 1895 to 1903 at Thiel College in Pennsylvania. On a leave of absence, he studied mathematics as a Johns Hopkins Scholar (1897–1898) at Johns Hopkins University, where he received his Ph.D. in 1898.[1] From 1903 to 1907 he was a mathematics instructor at the United States Naval Academy. In 1907 he became a professor of mathematics at West Virginia University and the chair of the mathematics department from 1907 to 1938, when he retired as professor emeritus.[2] Eiesland was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences in 1903.[3] He was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in 1924 in Toronto. He married in 1904. At West Virginia University, Eiesland Hall is named in his honor, and in 1994 his heirs established the John Arndt Eiesland Visiting Professorship of Mathematics.[4] Selected publications On Nullsystems in space of five dimensions and their relation to ordinary space.

    LOOKING BACKWARD: FROM EULER TO RIEMANN ATHANASE PAPADOPOULOS Il est des hommes auxquels on ne doit pas adresser d’´eloges, si l’on ne suppose pas qu’ils ont le goˆut assez peu d´elicat pour goˆuter les louanges qui viennent d’en bas. (Jules Tannery, [241] p. 102) Abstract. We survey the main ideas in the early history of the subjects on which Riemann worked and that led to some of his most important discoveries. The subjects discussed include the theory of functions of a complex variable, elliptic and Abelian integrals, the hypergeometric series, the zeta function, topology, differential geometry, integration, and the notion of space. We shall see that among Riemann’s predecessors in all these fields, one name occupies a prominent place, this is Leonhard Euler. The final version of this paper will appear in the book From Riemann to differential geometry and relativity (L. Ji, A. Papadopoulos and S. Yamada, ed.) Berlin: Springer, 2017.

We show that for a generic real polynomial H = H(x, y) and an arbitrary real differential 1-form ω = P (x, y) dx + Q(x, y) dy with polynomial coefficients of degree 6 d, the number of ovals of the foliation H = const, which yield the zero value of the complete H Abelian integral I(t) = H=t ω, grows at most as exp OH (d) as d → ∞, where OH (d) depends only on H. This result essentially improves the previous double exponential estimate obtained in [1] for the number of zero ovals on a bounded distance from singular level curves of H.

  • The Historical Development of Algebraic Geometry∗
    The Historical Development of Algebraic Geometry∗ Jean Dieudonn´e March 3, 1972y 1 The lecture This is an enriched transcription of footage posted by the University of Wis- consin{Milwaukee Department of Mathematical Sciences [1]. The images are composites of screenshots from the footage manipulated with Python and the Python OpenCV library [2]. These materials were prepared by Ryan C. Schwiebert with the goal of capturing and restoring some of the material. The lecture presents the content of Dieudonn´e'sarticle of the same title [3] as well as the content of earlier lecture notes [4], but the live lecture is natu- rally embellished with different details. The text presented here is, for the most part, written as it was spoken. This is why there are some ungrammatical con- structions of spoken word, and some linguistic quirks of a French speaker. The transcriber has taken some liberties by abbreviating places where Dieudonn´e self-corrected. That is, short phrases which turned out to be false starts have been elided, and now only the subsequent word-choices that replaced them ap- pear. Unfortunately, time has taken its toll on the footage, and it appears that a brief portion at the beginning, as well as the last enumerated period (VII. Sheaves and schemes), have been lost. (Fortunately, we can still read about them in [3]!) The audio and video quality has contributed to several transcription errors. Finally, a lack of thorough knowledge of the history of algebraic geometry has also contributed some errors. Contact with suggestions for improvement of arXiv:1803.00163v1 [math.HO] 1 Mar 2018 the materials is welcome.

  • Half-Order Differentials on Riemann Surfaces
    HALF-ORDER DIFFERENTIALS ON RIEMANN SURFACES BY N. S. HAWLEY and M. SCHIFFER Stanford University, Stanford, Ca//f., U.S.A. (1) Dedicated to Professor R. Ncvanllnna on the occasion of his 70th birthday Introduction In this paper we wish to exhibit the utility of differentials of half integer order in the theory of Riemann surfaces. We have found that differentials of order and order - have been involved implicitly in numerous earlier investigations, e.g., Poincar~'s work on Fuchsian functions and differential equations on Riemann surfaces. But the explicit recognition of these differentials as entities to be studied for their own worth seems to be new. We believe that such a study will have a considerable unifying effect on various aspects of the theory of Riemarm surfaces, and we wish to show, by means of examples and applications, how some parts of this theory are clarified and brought together through investigating these half-order differentials. A strong underlying reason for dealing with half-order differentials comes from the general technique of contour integration; already introduced by Riemann. In the standard theory one integrates a differential (linear) against an Abelian integral (additive function) and uses period relations and the residue theorem to arrive at identities. As we shall demonstrate, one can do an analogous thing by multiplying two differentials of order and using the same techniques of contour integration. As often happens, when one discovers a new (at least to him) entity and starts looking around to see where it occurs naturally, one is stunned to find so many of its hiding places --and all so near the surface.

  • £June, REPORT on CURVES TRACED on ALGEBRAIC
    242 S. LEFSCHETZ £June, REPORT ON CURVES TRACED ON ALGEBRAIC SURFACES* BY S. LEFSCHETZ 1. Introduction. An extensive literature to which we pro­ pose to devote this report has grown up around the following question and the related transcendental theory. Given an algebraic surface, what can be said in regard to the distribution of its continuous systems of algebraic curves'! f For various reasons we have chosen in place of the chronological presenta­ tion one in which function theory and analysis situs play the predominant part, and that has been made possible by two papers of Poincaré (s, I, II). We must however recall at the outset that the general answer to the above question had been given earlier by Severi (u, V, VI), his methods being largely of an algebro-geometric nature (see § 14), except for the use of a very important transcendental theorem due to Picard (g, II, p. 241). In favor of the methods which domi­ nate this report, it must be stated that they alone made pos­ sible the solution of some important problems, and further­ more have notably enriched the theory. A question similar to the above may be asked concerning algebraic varieties, but in order to remain within proper bounds, we have deemed it best to omit them altogether. 2. Connectivity Indices. We shall have occasion to con­ sider throughout a basic n-dimensional manifold Wn, % usually an algebraic curve (n = 2), or a surface (n = 4). A sum of closed, fc-dimensional, two-sided, analytic manifolds in Wn is called a k-cycle of the manifold, and shall be denoted by IV If it bounds, it is a zero-cycle; the fact being expressed by a homology: Tk ~ 0 mod Wn.

For divisors, one first knows which homology classes are algebraic-this is the Lefschetz (1,1) theorem. Next, as proved by Picard and Lefschetz, homological and algebraic equivalent coincide. Finally, the divisors algebraically equivalent to zero modulo those rationally equivalent to zero constitute an abelian variety, the Picard variety, whose structure is reasonably well understood. For an algebraic curve this latter is the Jacobian variety which plays a decisive role in the study of the curve.

Abstract Oscillation is a common natural phenomenon in real world problems. The most efficient mathematical models to describe these cyclic phenomena are based on dynamical systems. Exploring the periodic solutions is an important task in theoretical and practical studies of dynamical systems. Abelian integral is an integral of a polynomial differential 1-form over the real ovals of a polynomial Hamiltonian, which is a basic tool in complex algebraic geometry. In dynamical system theory, it is generalized to be a continuous function as a tool to study periodic solutions in planar dynamical systems. The zeros of Abelian integral and their distributions provide the number of limit cycles and their locations. In this thesis, we apply the Abelian integral method to study limit cycles bifurcating from the periodic annuli for some hyperelliptic Hamiltonian systems.
