The 11 papers are devoted to analysis, probability, and applications. The topics include the limit distribution of a homogeneous polynomial on the unit sphere of large dimensions, a survey of measures on abelian groups, the extension of analytic solutions of linear partial differential equations, asymptotics of the spectrum for two model problems in the theory of liquid vibrations, and countable analogues of pseudo-compact and Stone-Cech extensions. One offering is a biographical sketch of Julian Vasil'evich Sochotskii (1842-1927). No index. Member prices are $92 for institutions and $69 for individuals.

The articles in this collection present new results in partial differential equations, numerical analysis, probability theory, and geometry. The results, ideas, and methods given in the book will be of interest to a broad range of specialists.

This collection presents new results in algebra, functional analysis, and mathematical physics. In particular, evolution and spectral problems related to small motions of viscoelastic fluid are considered. Specific areas covered in the book include functional equations and functional operator equations from the point of view of the $C*$-algebraic approach, the existence of an isomorphism between certain ideals regarded as Galois modules, spectral problems in singularly perturbed domains, scattering theory, the existence of bounded solutions to the equation $\operatorname{div} u = f$ in a plane domain, and a compactification of a locally compact group. Also given is an historic overview of the mathematical seminars held at St. Petersburg State University. The results, ideas, and methods given in the book will be of interest to a broad range of specialists.

This is the inaugural volume of a new book series published under the auspices of the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society. The book contains contributions by some of the leading mathematicians in St. Petersburg. Ranging over a wide array of topics, these papers testify to the diverse interests and productive mathematical life of the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society.

This book presents the proceedings of the international workshop, "Advances in Mathematical Analysis of Partial Differential Equations" held at the Institut Mittag-Leffler, Stockholm, Sweden, July 9-13, 2012, dedicated to the memory of the outstanding Russian mathematician Olga A. Ladyzhenskaya. The volume contains papers that engage a wide set of modern topics in the theory of linear and nonlinear partial differential equations and applications, including variational and free boundary problems, mathematical problems of hydrodynamics, and magneto-geostrophic equations.

Books in this series highlight some of the most interesting works presented at symposia sponsored by the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society. Aimed at researchers in number theory, field theory, and algebraic geometry, the present volume deals primarily with aspects of the theory of higher local fields and other types of complete discretely valuated fields. Most of the papers require background in local class field theory and algebraic $K$-theory; however, two of them, ``Unit Fractions'' and ``Collections of Multiple Sums'', would be accessible to undergraduates.
