Description: This proceedings volume grew from the joint seminar by MIT and Harvard on the developments in mathematics during the year 2001. The organizing committee for the seminar consisted of distinguished mathematicians from both institutions: Barry Mazur, Wilfried Schmid, and S.-T.Yau from Harvard, and A.J. de Jong, David Jerison, and George Lustig from MIT. The book is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in algebra, algebraic geometry, analysis, mathematical physics, number theory, geometry, topology, and probability.
