Geometric Methods in the Algebraic Theory of Quadratic Forms: Summer School, Lens, 2000 (Lecture Notes in Mathematics #1835)

The geometric approach to the algebraic theory of quadratic forms is the study of projective quadrics over arbitrary fields. Function fields of quadrics have been central to the proofs of fundamental results since the 1960's. Recently, more refined geometric tools have been brought to bear on this topic, such as Chow groups and motives, and have produced remarkable advances on a number of outstanding problems. Several aspects of these new methods are addressed in this volume, which includes an introduction to motives of quadrics by A. Vishik, with various applications, notably to the splitting patterns of quadratic forms, papers by O. Izhboldin and N. Karpenko on Chow groups of quadrics and their stable birational equivalence, with application to the construction of fields with u-invariant 9, and a contribution in French by B. Kahn which lays out a general framework for the computation of the unramified cohomology groups of quadrics and other cellular varieties.

The reader is referred to the reviews by SUTTON [22], [23] and PRIESTLEY and SHEP­ PARD [15) for further details concerning eddy-flux of heat and turbulent diffusion. 19. RICHARDSON'S criterion.

Gesundheit und Krankheit vor und nach Paracelsus

Bedeutend ist Theophrast von Hohenheim (ca. 1493/4–1541), genannt Paracelsus, vor allem durch sein Aufbegehren gegen die klassischen antiken und arabisch-mittelalterlichen Autoritäten in der Medizin. Grundlage sollen nicht mehr die überlieferten Schriften, sondern experientia, experimenta und ratio sein. Von dieser Basis soll künftig ausgegangen werden, was Paracelsus auch dadurch unterstreicht, dass er seine Schriften in deutscher Sprache veröffentlicht. Indem er sich gegen die dogmatische Auslegung antiker Texte wandte, wollte er die Ära Galens beenden. Die Chirurgie wollte er auf universitären Rang erheben. Nach Paracelsus ist es die Natur, die heilt, wobei der Arzt nur Helfer ist. Wenn er Gesundheit als harmonische Ordnung im organischen Ablauf definiert, dann ist er bestrebt, Makrokosmos und Mikrokosmos, Diesseits und Jenseits, in Einklang zu bringen. Die Welt ist für ihn kein Nebeneinander isolierter Elemente, sondern eine Einheit. Auch beim Menschen erscheint ihm Sinnliches und Seelisches aufeinander bezogen. Archeus nennt er ein immaterielles Prinzip, in dem er den Träger der belebenden Kraft in der Natur und im Menschen, also im Makrokosmos wie im Mikrokosmos, festmacht. Im Sinne der Renaissance sieht er den Menschen als Mittelpunkt des Kosmos und seine Aufgabe im Erkennen der Welt.

Groupes algébriques semi-simples en dimension cohomologique ≤2: Semisimple algebraic groups in cohomological dimension ≤2 (Lecture Notes in Mathematics #2238)

La théorie des groupes algébriques sur un corps arbitraire est l’une des branches les plus merveilleuses des mathématiques modernes. Cette monographie porte sur les groupes algébriques semi-simples définis sur un corps k de dimension cohomologique séparable ≤2 et la cohomologie galoisienne d’iceux. La question ouverte la plus importante est la conjecture II de Serre (1962) qui prédit l’annulation de la cohomologie galoisienne d’un groupe semi-simple simplement connexe.Utilisant principalement des techniques de groupes algébriques, on couvre tous les cas connus de la conjecture: les cas classiques (dus à Bayer-Fluckiger and Parimala) ainsi que les avancées sur les cas exceptionnels restants (par exemple de type E8). Ceci s’applique à la classification des groupes semi-simples. The theory of algebraic groups over arbitrary fields is one of the most beautiful branches of modern mathematics. This monograph deals with semisimple algebraic groups over a general field k of separable cohomological dimension ^ to Bayer-Fluckiger and Parimala), and some perspectives are given on the remaining exceptional cases (e.g., G of type E8). Applications to the classification of semisimple k-groups are presented.
