Spectral Theory and Geometric Analysis (Contemporary Mathematics)

This volume contains the proceedings of the conference on Spectral Theory and Geometric Analysis, held at Northeastern University, Boston, MA, from July 29-August 2, 2009, which honored Mikhail Shubin on his 65th birthday. The papers in this volume cover important topics in spectral theory and geometric analysis such as resolutions of smooth group actions, spectral asymptotics, solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equation, scattering theory, Riemann surfaces of infinite genus, tropical mathematics and geometric methods in the analysis of flows in porous media, and artificial black holes.
