The present monograph is a state-of-art survey of the geometry of matrices whose study was initiated by L K Hua in the forties. The geometry of rectangular matrices, of alternate matrices, of symmetric matrices, and of hermitian matrices over a division ring or a field are studied in detail. The author's recent results on geometry of symmetric matrices and of hermitian matrices are included. A chapter on linear algebra over a division ring and one on affine and projective geometry over a division ring are also included. The book is clearly written so that graduate students and third or fourth year undergraduate students in mathematics can read it without difficulty.

Hua's fundamental theorem of geometry of matrices describes the general form of bijective maps on the space of all m\times n matrices over a division ring \mathbb{D} which preserve adjacency in both directions. Motivated by several applications the author studies a long standing open problem of possible improvements. There are three natural questions. Can we replace the assumption of preserving adjacency in both directions by the weaker assumption of preserving adjacency in one direction only and still get the same conclusion? Can we relax the bijectivity assumption? Can we obtain an analogous result for maps acting between the spaces of rectangular matrices of different sizes? A division ring is said to be EAS if it is not isomorphic to any proper subring. For matrices over EAS division rings the author solves all three problems simultaneously, thus obtaining the optimal version of Hua's theorem. In the case of general division rings he gets such an optimal result only for square matrices and gives examples showing that it cannot be extended to the non-square case.

Mathematics has been behind many of humanity's most significant advances in fields as varied as genome sequencing, medical science, space exploration, and computer technology. But those breakthroughs were yesterday. Where will mathematicians lead us tomorrow and can we help shape that destiny? This book assembles carefully selected articles highlighting and explaining cutting-edge research and scholarship in mathematics with an emphasis on three manifolds.

"In this monograph, the authors approach a rarely considered question in the field of algebraic geometry: to what extent is an algebraic variety X determined by the underlying Zariski topological space ]X]? Before this work, it was believed that the Zariski topology could give only coarse information about X. Using three reconstruction theorems, the authors prove -- astoundingly -- that the variety X is entirely determined by the Zariski topology when the dimension is at least two. It offers both new techniques, as this question had not been previously studied in depth, and future paths for application and inquiry"--

This volume contains the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Finite Fields and their Applications (Fq11), held July 22-26, 2013, in Magdeburg, Germany. Finite Fields are fundamental structures in mathematics. They lead to interesting deep problems in number theory, play a major role in combinatorics and finite geometry, and have a vast amount of applications in computer science. Papers in this volume cover these aspects of finite fields as well as applications in coding theory and cryptography.

This book, written by experts from universities and major research laboratories, addresses the hot topic of network coding, a powerful scheme for information transmission in networks that yields near-optimal throughput. It introduces readers to this striking new approach to network coding, in which the network is not simply viewed as a mechanism for delivering packets, but rather an algebraic structure named the subspace, which these packets span. This leads to a new kind of coding theory, employing what are called subspace codes. The book presents selected, highly relevant advanced research output on: Subspace Codes and Rank Metric Codes; Finite Geometries and Subspace Designs; Application of Network Coding; Codes for Distributed Storage Systems. The outcomes reflect research conducted within the framework of the European COST Action IC1104: Random Network Coding and Designs over GF(q). Taken together, they offer communications engineers, R&D engineers, researchers and graduate students in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Electrical Engineering a comprehensive reference guide to the construction of optimal network codes, as well as efficient encoding and decoding schemes for a given network code.

This volume consists of thirteen papers on algebraic combinatorics and related areas written by leading experts around the world. There are four survey papers illustrating the following currently active branches of algebraic combinatorics: vertex operator algebras, spherical designs, Kerdock codes and related combinatorial objects, and geometry of matrices. The remaining nine papers are original research articles covering a wide range of disciplines, from classical topics such as permutation groups and finite geometry, to modern topics such as spin models and invariants of 3-manifolds. Two papers occupy nearly half the volume and present a comprehensive account of new concepts: ``Combinatorial Cell Complexes'' by M. Aschbacher and ``Quantum Matroids'' by P. Terwilliger. Terwilliger's theory of quantum matroids unites a part of the theory of finite geometries and a part of the theory of distance-regular graphs--great progess is expected in this field. K. Nomura's paper bridges the classical and the modern by establishing a connection between certain bipartite distance-regular graphs and spin models. All contributors to this volume were invited speakers at the conference ``Algebraic Combinatorics'' in Fukuoka, Japan (1993) and participated in the Research Institute in the Mathematical Sciences (RIMS) research project on algebraic combinatorics held at Kyoto University in 1994.
