Sommario/riassunto

La intención de esta obra es considerar, repasando los grandes momentos de la historia de México, la evolución de las diversiones y de los gustos culturales. No se trata de establecer un catálogo ni de censar fenómenos, sino de intentar dar un sentido a las mutaciones que han ocurrido en este campo a partir de ejemplos significativos. Las modas y los gustos en los juegos y en la cultura han engendrado siempre modificaciones en las relaciones humanas en la ciudad: reuniones y exclusiones, júbilo o violencia, en pocas palabras, una atmósfera urbana particular. México puede ser un buen campo de experiencia para analizar las relaciones entre la "alta" y la "baja" cultura y las consecuencias de su asociación o de su oposición. En efecto, afectan los sistemas ideológicos, la comunicación entre los ciudadanos, las instituciones e incluso la configuración urbana. La pluralidad de los orígenes y las rupturas históricas hacen de la capital mexicana el lugar



privilegiado para el análisis de esas relaciones. Louis Panabière (1935-1995) fue maestro conferenciante en la Universidad de Perpiñán, miembro del Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y, por muchos años, director de la Alianza Francesa y agregado cultural en la embajada francesa en México. En el fce Louis Panabière publicó Itinerario de una disidencia. Jorge Cuesta (1903-1942), una reveladora aportación al estudio de uno de los miembros más sobresalientes del grupo identificado como los Contemporáneos.

Sommario/riassunto

This book comprehensively explores the foundations of quasiconformal mappings in the complex plane, especially in view of applications to



complex dynamics. Besides playing a crucial role in dynamical systems these mappings have important applications in complex analysis, geometry, topology, potential theory and partial differential equations, functional analysis and calculus of variations, electrostatics and nonlinear elasticity . The work covers standard material suitable for a one-year graduate-level course and extends to more advanced topics, in an accessible way even for students in an initial phase of university studies who have learned the basics of complex analysis at the usual level of a rigorous first one-semester course on the subject. At the frontier of complex analysis with real analysis, quasiconformal mappings appeared in 1859-60 in the cartography work of A. Tissot, well before the term “quasiconformal” was coined by L. Ahlfors in 1935. The detailed study of these mappings began in 1928 by H. Grötzsch, and L. Ahlfors’ seminal work published in 1935 significantly contributed to their development and was considered for awarding him the Fields Medal in 1936. The theory further evolved in 1937 and 1939 with O. Teichmüller’s contributions, and subsequent advancements are partially covered in this book. Organized into ten chapters with eight appendices, this work aims to provide an accessible, self-contained approach to the subject and includes examples at various levels and extensive applications to holomorphic dynamics. Throughout the text, historical notes contextualize advancements over time. A sequel to the author’s previous book, ‘Complex Analysis and Dynamics in One Variable with Applications,’ also published by Springer, this volume might be suitable for students in mathematics, physics, or engineering. A solid background in basic mathematical analysis is recommended to fully benefit from its content.
