Contents:
Integral functors -- Fourier-Mukai functors -- Fourier-Mukai on Abelian varieties -- Fourier-Mukai on K3 surfaces -- Nahm transforms -- Relative Fourier-Mukai functors -- Fourier-Mukai partners and birational geometry -- Derived and triangulated categories -- Lattices -- Miscellaneous results -- Stability conditions for derived categories.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: Integral transforms, such as the Laplace and Fourier transforms, have been major tools in mathematics for at least two centuries. In the last three decades the development of a number of novel ideas in algebraic geometry, category theory, gauge theory, and string theory has been closely related to generalizations of integral transforms of a more geometric character. Fourier–Mukai and Nahm Transforms in Geometry and Mathematical Physics examines the algebro-geometric approach (Fourier–Mukai functors) as well as the differential-geometric constructions (Nahm). Also included is a considerable amount of material from existing literature which has not been systematically organized into a monograph. Key features: * Basic constructions and definitions are presented in preliminary background chapters * Presentation explores applications and suggests several open questions * Extensive bibliography and index This self-contained monograph provides an introduction to current research in geometry and mathematical physics and is intended for graduate students and researchers just entering this field.
