Bogdan Nica (McGill University, Montreal, Canada) A Brief Introduction to Spectral Graph Theory (EMS Textbooks in Mathematics) ISBN 978-3-03719-188-0. 2018. 168 pages. Hardcover. 16.5 x 23.5 cm. 38.00 Euro Spectral graph theory starts by associating matrices to graphs – notably, the adjacency matrix and the Laplacian matrix. The general theme is then, firstly, to compute or estimate the eigenvalues of such matrices, and secondly, to relate the eigenvalues to structural properties of graphs. As it turns out, the spectral perspective is a powerful tool. Some of its loveliest applications concern facts that are, in principle, purely graph theoretic or combinatorial. This text is an introduction to spectral graph theory, but it could also be seen as an invitation to algebraic graph theory. The first half is devoted to graphs, finite fields, and how they come together. This part provides an appealing motivation and context of the second, spectral, half. The text is enriched by many exercises and their solutions. -

The Algebro-Geometric Initial Value Problem for the Ablowitz–Ladik Hierarchy

We discuss the algebro-geometric initial value problem for the Ablowitz–Ladik hierarchy with complex-valued initial data and prove unique solvability globally in time for a set of initial (Dirichlet divisor) data of full measure. To this effect we develop a new algorithm for constructing stationary complex-valued algebro-geometric solutions of the Ablowitz–Ladik hierarchy, which is of independent interest as it solves the inverse algebro-geometric spec- tral problem for general (non-unitary) Ablowitz–Ladik Lax operators, start- ing from a suitably chosen set of initial divisors of full measure. Combined with an appropriate first-order system of differential equations with respect to time (a substitute for the well-known Dubrovin-type equations), this yields the construction of global algebro-geometric solutions of the time-dependent Ablowitz–Ladik hierarchy. The treatment of general (non-unitary) Lax operators associated with gen- eral coefficients for the Ablowitz–Ladik hierarchy poses a variety of difficulties that, to the best of our knowledge, are successfully overcome here for the first time. -

Belbruno showed how to exploit the chaotic nature of the SSGDS to calculate a long-duration, low-cost trajectory which would lead the spacecraft to its destination. Chaotic here does not mean disorderly, but refers to the enormous change in behavior that can be produced by a tiny change in ini- tial conditions near an unstable critical point of the system. The Hiten rescue used the unstable critical points in the Earth-Moon system; there are three of them, known as the Lagrange points L1, L2 and L3.

Preface Fritz (Friedrich) Was Born to Parents Friederike and Franz Gesztesy on Novem- Ber 5, 1953, in Leibnitz, Austria
PREFACE vii A room without books is like a body without a soul. | Attributed to Cicero (106 BC { 43 BC) Preface Fritz (Friedrich) was born to parents Friederike and Franz Gesztesy on Novem- ber 5, 1953, in Leibnitz, Austria. He was raised there together with his younger sister, Doris. Fritz attended the local Realgymnasium from 1964 to 1972 and, soon after the age of twelve, developed his passion for physics and mathematics. From this period onwards, he spent large parts of his free time, on one hand, in his electronics workshop (repairing and reassembling vacuum tube radios and TVs, just before the transistor revolution took place) and, on the other hand, studying B. Baule's seven- volume textbook \Die Mathematik des Naturforschers und Ingenieurs", known as \Der Baule" (developed at the Technical University of Graz, Austria). Given his strong interests in physics and mathematics, the study of Theoretical Physics seemed the most natural choice to him and so he enrolled at the Univer- sity of Graz in the fall of 1972. After studying seven semesters, he presented his dissertation on a topic in quantum field theory in early 1976. His Ph.D. advisors were Heimo Latal (University of Graz) and Ludwig Streit (University of Bielefeld, Germany). At this point he had become disillusioned with Theoretical Physics per se. Strongly influenced by the monograph of T. Kato and the four-volume treatise by M. Reed and B. Simon, and especially under the guiding influence of Ludwig Pittner (University of Graz), Harald Grosse and Walter Thirring (both at the Uni- versity of Vienna), and the four-volume course on Mathematical Physics by the latter, Fritz decided to devote his future energies to areas in Mathematical Physics.
