The Collected Works of Anatole Katok: In 2 Volumes. This item is unavailable.The Collected Works of Anatole Katok: In 2 Volumes

These volumes collect most of the papers of Anatole Katok, one of the founders of the modern theory of dynamical systems. Katok's work reflects half a century of research in mathematics and includes ergodic theory, hyperbolic, elliptic, and parabolic smooth dynamics, as well as higher-rank actions. Katok's papers cover an extremely broad range of topics in dynamics, and they contain many seminal contributions that had great impact on later developments and are now widely recognized as classical.Katok also authored numerous historical and biographical papers, and these contain accounts of crucial developments from the point of view of one of the main protagonists.Besides papers which have already appeared in academic journals, this collection includes several previously unpublished papers as well as some whose English translation appears here for the first time.These collected works are organized by topic into six chapters, each featuring an introduction written by respective leading specialists. Volume I focuses on following topics: Hyperbolicity, Entropy, Geodesic Flows, Interval Exchange Transformations, Billiards, Twist Maps, Spectral Theory, Approximations, Combinatorial Constructions, and History of Dynamics. Volume II focuses on these topics: Cohomology and Geometric Rigidity, Measure Rigidity.
