  • Confoliations
    By Y. Eliashberg, William P. Thurston

    This book presents the first steps of a theory of confoliations designed to link geometry and topology of three-dimensional contact structures with the geometry and topology of codimension-one foliations on three-dimensional manifolds.

  • The Siegel Modular Variety of Degree Two and Level Four
    By Ronnie Lee, Steven H. Weintraub, Jerome William Hoffman

    This is done by computing the cohomology of the moduli space $\mathbf M_4$. The mixed Hodge structure on this cohomolgy is determined, as well as the intersection cohomology of the Satake compactification of $\mathbf M_4$.

    By Charles Miller Grinstead, William Paul Peterson, James Laurie Snell

    If we write F(p, x, y) = R(p,x,y) + S(p,x, y) , then the mean of the distribution of doubletons is obtained by differ- entiating ... In the present case, we find the value of the mean to equal (n − 1)p2, which can be checked as being ...
