Geometry, Dynamics, and Foliations 2013: In Honor of Steven Hurder and Takashi Tsuboi on the Occasion of Their 60th Birthdays (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9784864970402)

This volume is an outcome of the conference 'Geometry and Foliations 2013' held in Tokyo in September 2013 and associated meetings, aimed for providing a good overview of the present studies as well as some perspective for further studies.The aspects and quality of the volume is represented by B Deroin's survey on Brownian motions on foliated complex surfaces which contains many essential results and ideas.Other articles cover wide topics of foliations and groups of diffeomorphisms old and new; some discuss characteristic classes such as Godbillon-Vey class or homotopy theory of foliations while others deal with topological and differential geometrical aspects, particularly in the holomorphic setting.Also, several articles shows relationship to the geometric group theory.Highly recommended to researchers and graduate students who are interested in and going to study the theories of foliations and related topics such as diffeomorphism groups, geometric group theory.Published by Mathematical Society of Japan and distributed by World Scientific Publishing Co. for all markets except North America
