Toposes and local set theories: an introduction
The theory of motives began in the early 1960s when Grothendieck envisioned the existence of a "universal cohomology theory of algebraic varieties". The theory of noncommutative motives is more recent. It began in the 1980s when the Moscow school (Beilinson, Bondal, Kapranov, Ma…

We investigate the lattice, invented by W. D. Neumann in 1974, formed by the class of all varieties under the quasi-ordering "[script]V is interpretable in [script]W." The lattice is found to be non-modular and a proper class. Various familiar varieties are found to be [logical …
This book is designed both as a textbook for high-level graduate courses and as a reference for researchers who need to apply the structure and representation theory of compact groups. A gentle introduction to compact groups and their representation theory is followed by self-co…
