The theories of V. V. Wagner (1908-1981) on abstractions of systems of binary relations are presented here within their historical and mathematical contexts. This book contains the first translation from Russian into English of a selection of Wagner’s papers, the ideas of which are connected to present-day mathematical research. Along with a translation of Wagner’s main work in this area, his 1953 paper ‘Theory of generalised heaps and generalised groups,’ the book also includes translations of three short precursor articles that provide additional context for his major work. Researchers and students interested in both algebra (in particular, heaps, semiheaps, generalised heaps, semigroups, and groups) and differential geometry will benefit from the techniques offered by these translations, owing to the natural connections between generalised heaps and generalised groups, and the role played by these concepts in differential geometry. This book gives examples from present-day mathematics where ideas related to Wagner’s have found fruitful applications.

The theory of semigroups is a relatively young branch of mathematics, with most of the major results having appeared after the Second World War. This book describes the evolution of (algebraic) semigroup theory from its earliest origins to the establishment of a full-fledged theory. Semigroup theory might be termed `Cold War mathematics' because of the time during which it developed. There were thriving schools on both sides of the Iron Curtain, although the two sides were not always able to communicate with each other, or even gain access to the other's publications. A major theme of this book is the comparison of the approaches to the subject of mathematicians in East and West, and the study of the extent to which contact between the two sides was possible.

Symmetry is one of the most important organising principles in the natural sciences. The mathematical theory of symmetry has long been associated with group theory, but it is a basic premise of this book that there are aspects of symmetry which are more faithfully represented by a generalization of groups called inverse semigroups. The theory of inverse semigroups is described from its origins in the foundations of differential geometry through to its most recent applications in combinatorial group theory, and the theory tilings.

This book provides a general, unified approach to the theory of polyadic groups, their normal subgroups and matrix representations. The author focuses on those properties of polyadic groups which are not present in the binary case. These properties indicate a strong relationship between polyadic groups and various group-like algebras, as well as ternary Hopf algebras and n-Lie algebras that are widely used in theoretical physics. The relationships of polyadic groups with special types of binary groups, called covering groups and binary retracts, are described. These relationships allow the study of polyadic groups using these binary groups and their automorphisms. The book also describes the affine geometry induced by polyadic groups and fuzzy subsets defined on polyadic groups. Finally, we discuss the categories of polyadic groups and the relationships between the different varieties of polyadic groups. In many cases, we give elegant new proofs of known theorems. We also give many interesting examples and applications. The book contains many little-known results from articles previously published in hard-to-reach Russian, Ukrainian and Macedonian journals. These articles are not in English.

A method of analysis is developed for two dimensional flow on general surfaces of revolution in turbomachines with arbitrary blade shapes. The method of analysis is developed for steady, compressible, nonviscous, irrotational flow that is assumed uniform normal to the surfaces of revolution. Incompressible solutions on a mean surface of revolution between the hub and shroud are presented for four rates through each of two centrifugal impellers with the same hub-shroud contours but with different blade spacings. In addition, correlation equations are developed whereby the velocity components and the stream function distribution can be predicted for compressible or incompressible flow in straight-blade impellers only, with any tip speed, flow rate, area variation, blade spacing, and for any flow surface of revolution.

The operas of the German composer Richard Wagner had a revolutionary influence on the course of Western music. Unlike most opera composers, Wagner wrote both the libretto and the music for each of his works. He went on to revolutionise the music form through his concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art), by which he sought to synthesise the poetic, visual, musical and dramatic arts, with music subsidiary to drama. He achieved these ideas most fully in his epic cycle of operas 'Der Ring des Nibelungen', notable for complex textures, rich harmonies and the elaborate use of leitmotifs. Delphi’s Great Composers Series offers concise illustrated guides to the life and works of our greatest composers. Analysing the masterworks of each composer, these interactive eBooks include links to popular streaming services, allowing you to listen to the pieces of music you are reading about.

Many-Sorted Algebras for Deep Learning and Quantum Technology presents a precise and rigorous description of basic concepts in Quantum technologies and how they relate to Deep Learning and Quantum Theory. Current merging of Quantum Theory and Deep Learning techniques provides a need for a text that can give readers insight into the algebraic underpinnings of these disciplines. Although analytical, topological, probabilistic, as well as geometrical concepts are employed in many of these areas, algebra exhibits the principal thread. This thread is exposed using Many-Sorted Algebras (MSA). In almost every aspect of Quantum Theory as well as Deep Learning more than one sort or type of object is involved. For instance, in Quantum areas Hilbert spaces require two sorts, while in affine spaces, three sorts are needed. Both a global level and a local level of precise specification is described using MSA. At a local level operation involving neural nets may appear to be very algebraically different than those used in Quantum systems, but at a global level they may be identical. Again, MSA is well equipped to easily detail their equivalence through text as well as visual diagrams. Among the reasons for using MSA is in illustrating this sameness. Author Charles R. Giardina includes hundreds of well-designed examples in the text to illustrate the intriguing concepts in Quantum systems. Along with these examples are numerous visual displays. In particular, the Polyadic Graph shows the types or sorts of objects used in Quantum or Deep Learning. It also illustrates all the inter and intra sort operations needed in describing algebras. In brief, it provides the closure conditions. Throughout the text, all laws or equational identities needed in specifying an algebraic structure are precisely described. - Includes hundreds of well-designed examples to illustrate the intriguing concepts in quantum systems - Provides precise description of all laws or equational identities that are needed in specifying an algebraic structure - Illustrates all the inter and intra sort operations needed in describing algebras

This volume contains papers which, for the most part, are based on talks given at an international conference on Lattices, Semigroups, and Universal Algebra that was held in Lisbon, Portugal during the week of June 20-24, 1988. The conference was dedicated to the memory of Professor Antonio Almeida Costa, a Portuguese mathematician who greatly contributed to the development of th algebra in Portugal, on the 10 anniversary of his death. The themes of the conference reflect some of his research interests and those of his students. The purpose of the conference was to gather leading experts in Lattices, Semigroups, and Universal Algebra and to promote a discussion of recent developments and trends in these areas. All three fields have grown rapidly during the last few decades with varying degrees of interaction. Lattice theory and Universal Algebra have historically evolved alongside with a large overlap between the groups of researchers in the two fields. More recently, techniques and ideas of these theories have been used extensively in the theory of semigroups. Conversely, some developments in that area may inspire further developments in Universal Algebra. On the other hand, techniques of semi group theory have naturally been employed in the study of semilattices. Several papers in this volume elaborate on these interactions.
