Sommario/riassunto

The field of epilepsy and behavior has grown considerably in the past number of years, reflecting advances in the laboratory and clinic. Behavioral Aspects of Epilepsy: Principles and Practice is the definitive text on epilepsy behavioral issues, from basic science to clinical applications, for all neurologists, psychosocial specialists, and researchers in the fields of epilepsy, neuroscience, and psychology/psychiatry.

Sommario/riassunto

This proceedings volume gathers selected, revised papers presented at the XI International Meeting on Lorentzian Geometry (GeLoMer 2024), held at the Autonomous University of Yucatán, Mexico, from January 29 to February 2, 2024. Lorentzian geometry provides the mathematical foundation for Einstein's theory of relativity. It incorporates aspects from different branches of mathematics, such as differential geometry, partial differential equations, and mathematical analysis, to name a few. This volume includes surveys describing the state-of-the-art in specific areas, and a selection of the most relevant results presented at the conference, which is seen as a benchmark for those working in Lorentz geometry due to its relevance. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to both young and experienced mathematicians and physicists whose research involves general relativity and semi-Riemannian geometry.
