An Introduction to Ideas and Methods of the Theory of Groups
Language: English
Release Date: April 5, 2012
Groups are a means of classification, via the group action on a set, but also the object of a classification. How many groups of a given type are there, and how can they be described? Hölder’s program for attacking this problem in the case of finite groups is a sort of leitmotiv throughout the...

The Problem of Production
A new theory of the firm
Language: English
Release Date: December 22, 2015
The theory of the firm has been fertile ground for economists.

The appearance of weakly wandering (ww) sets and sequences for ergodic transformations over half a century ago was an unexpected and surprising event. In time it was shown that ww and related sequences reflected significant and deep properties of ergodic transformations that preserve an infinite measure.
