This English version of the path-breaking French book on this subject gives the definitive treatment of the revolutionary approach to measure theory, geometry, and mathematical physics developed by A
This valuable collection of essays by some of the world’s leading scholars in mathematics presents innovative and field-defining work at the intersection of noncommutative geometry and number theory.
Do numbers and the other objects of mathematics enjoy a timeless existence independent of human minds, or are they the products of cerebral invention? Do we discover them, as Plato supposed and many o
