Jacobi Forms, Finite Quadratic Modules and Weil Representations over Number F…
The new theory of Jacobi forms over totally real number fields introduced in this monograph is expected to give further insight into the arithmetic theory of Hilbert modular forms, its L-series, and into elliptic curves over number fields. This work is inspired by the classical theory of Jacobi forms over the rational numbers, which is an indispensable tool in the arithmetic theory of elliptic …

Eulerian Numbers
This text presents the Eulerian numbers in the context of modern enumerative, algebraic, and geometric combinatorics. The book first studies Eulerian numbers from a purely combinatorial point of view, then embarks on a tour of how these numbers arise in the study of hyperplane arrangements, polytopes, and simplicial complexes. Some topics include a thorough discussion of gamma-nonnegativity and…

Germany’s future electors
Nora E. Sánchez Gassen analyses how demographic trends and electoral law have influenced the German electorate in the past and projects their future impact. A set of population projections illustrates how the size and age structure of the electorate will change until 2030 due to ongoing demographic changes. Additional analyses reveal how reforms of electoral law and citizenship law could be us…

Estimation and Testing Under Sparsity École d'Été de Probabilités de Sai…
Taking the Lasso method as its starting point, this book describes the main ingredients needed to study general loss functions and sparsity-inducing regularizers. It also provides a semi-parametric approach to establishing confidence intervals and tests. Sparsity-inducing methods have proven to be very useful in the analysis of high-dimensional data. Examples include the Lasso and group Lasso m…

Islamist Terrorism and Militancy in Indonesia: The Power of the Manichean Min…
Drawing upon insights from the natural and social sciences, this book puts forth a provocative new argument that the violent Islamist threat in Indonesia today derives its stubborn resilience from being in essence a complex, adaptive and self-organizing system – or what some specialists might even call a super-organism. The book challenges the popular assumption that ideology is the root caus…
