• Sommario/riassunto: Church-state relations have always been important but the need for an historical re-evaluation has been heightened by recent developments in the relations between governments and religious bodies. Drawing on a wide range of historical case-studies this book focuses particularly on the way in which the traditional European Old World fusion of church and state was reshaped in the New World of European settler colonies of the United States, Australia and New Zealand. Its analysis illuminates both the historical dynamics of such changes and the way in which such developments continue to influence the conduct of church-state relations in both the Old and the New Worlds.

• Sommario/riassunto: S’interroger sur le monde, en inventant de nouveaux instruments pour le dire et le penser, constitue l’inquiétude féconde qui nourrit les jours de Pierre Bergounioux. Auteur emblématique d’une certaine littérature française contemporaine, il fait de celle-ci un outil d’investigation apte à saisir les mystères de l’existence, à partir de la mémoire pour activer un imaginaire redécouvrant la complexité de l’homme face à son présent. Les contributions ici rassemblées construisent un itinéraire qui vise tant à relire la partie la plus narrative de l’oeuvre qu’à en analyser les enjeux réflexifs qui côtoient le vécu quotidien et mettent la voix même de l’écrivain à l’épreuve de l’écriture.

• Sommario/riassunto: This book provides the first unified examination of the relationship between Radon transforms on symmetric spaces of compact type and the infinitesimal versions of two fundamental rigidity problems in Riemannian geometry. Its primary focus is the spectral rigidity problem: Can the metric of a given Riemannian symmetric space of compact type be characterized by means of the spectrum of its Laplacian? It also addresses a question rooted in the Blaschke problem: Is a Riemannian metric on a projective space whose geodesics are all closed and of the same length isometric to the canonical metric? The authors comprehensively treat the results concerning Radon transforms and the infinitesimal versions of these two problems. Their main result implies ; that most Grassmannians are spectrally rigid to the first order. This is particularly important, for there are still few isospectrality results for positively curved spaces and these are the first such results for symmetric spaces of compact type of rank ›1. The authors exploit the theory of overdetermined partial differential equations and harmonic analysis on symmetric spaces to provide criteria for infinitesimal rigidity that apply to a large class of spaces. A substantial amount of basic material about Riemannian geometry, symmetric spaces, and Radon transforms is included in a clear and elegant presentation that will be useful to researchers and advanced students in differential geometry.
