Explores the recent spectacular applications of point-counting in o-minimal structures to functional transcendence and diophantine geometry.

The first complete treatment of the moduli theory of varieties of general type, laying foundations for future research.

Provides an account of fractional Sobolev spaces emphasising applications to famous inequalities. Ideal for graduates and researchers.

Explains, using examples, the central role of the fundamental group in the geometry, global analysis, and topology of manifolds.

This book studies the large deviations for empirical measures and vector-valued additive functionals of Markov chains with general state space. Under suitable recurrence conditions, the ergodic theorem for additive functionals of a Markov chain asserts the almost sure convergence of the averages of a real or vector-valued function of the chain to the mean of the function with respect to the invariant distribution. In the case of empirical measures, the ergodic theorem states the almost sure convergence in a suitable sense to the invariant distribution. The large deviation theorems provide precise asymptotic estimates at logarithmic level of the probabilities of deviating from the preponderant behavior asserted by the ergodic theorems.

This book brings the researcher up to date with recent applications of mathematical logic to number theory.
