This volume contains the written account of the Bonn Seminar on Arithmetic Geometry 2003/2004. It gives a coherent exposition of the theory of intersections of modular correspondences. The focus of the seminar is the formula for the intersection number of arithmetic modular correspondences due to Gross and Keating. Other topics treated are Hurwitz's theorem on the intersection of modular correspondences over the field of complex numbers and the relation of the arithmetic intersection numbers to Fourier coefficients of Siegel-Eisenstein series. Also included is background material on one-dimensional formal groups and their endomorphisms and on quadratic forms over the ring of $p$-adic integers.

The authors consider the fundamental solution to the wave equation on a manifold with corners of arbitrary codimension. If the initial pole of the solution is appropriately situated, the authors show that the singularities which are diffracted by the corners (i.e., loosely speaking, are not propagated along limits of transversely reflected rays) are smoother than the main singularities of the solution. More generally, the authors show that subject to a hypothesis of nonfocusing, diffracted wavefronts of any solution to the wave equation are smoother than the incident singularities. These results extend the authors' previous work on edge manifolds to a situation where the fibers of the boundary fibration, obtained here by blowup of the corner in question, are themselves manifolds with corners.

The authors generalize several recent results concerning the asymptotic expansions of Bergman kernels to the framework of geometric quantization and establish an asymptotic symplectic identification property. More precisely, they study the asymptotic expansion of the $G$-invariant Bergman kernel of the $\mathrm{spin}^c$ Dirac operator associated with high tensor powers of a positive line bundle on a symplectic manifold admitting a Hamiltonian action of a compact connected Lie group $G$. The authors also develop a way to compute the coefficients of the expansion, and compute the first few of them; especially, they obtain the scalar curvature of the reduction space from the $G$-invariant Bergman kernel on the total space. These results generalize the corresponding results in the non-equivariant setting, which have played a crucial role in the recent work of Donaldson on stability of projective manifolds, to the geometric quantization setting. As another kind of application, the authors establish some Toeplitz operator type properties in semi-classical analysis in the framework of geometric quantization. The method used is inspired by Local Index Theory, especially by the analytic localization techniques developed by Bismut and Lebeau.

In this text the author uses stack-theoretic techniques to study the crystalline structure on the de Rham cohomology of a proper smooth scheme over a $p$-adic field and applications to $p$-adic Hodge theory. He develops a general theory of crystalline cohomology and de Rham-Witt complexes for algebraic stacks and applies it to the construction and study of the $(\varphi, N, G)$-structure on de Rham cohomology. Using the stack-theoretic point of view instead of log geometry, he develops the ingredients needed to prove the $C_{\text {st}}$-conjecture using the method of Fontaine, Messing, Hyodo, Kato, and Tsuji, except for the key computation of $p$-adic vanishing cycles. He also generalizes the construction of the monodromy operator to schemes with more general types of reduction than semistable and proves new results about tameness of the action of Galois on cohomology.

Drawing from a rich corpus of art works, including sarcophagi, tomb paintings, and floor mosaics, Patrick R. Crowley investigates how something as insubstantial as a ghost could be made visible through the material grit of stone and paint. In this fresh and wide-ranging study, he uses the figure of the ghost to offer a new understanding of the status of the image in Roman art and visual culture. Tracing the shifting practices and debates in antiquity about the nature of vision and representation, Crowley shows how images of ghosts make visible structures of beholding and strategies of depiction. Yet the figure of the ghost simultaneously contributes to a broader conceptual history that accounts for how modalities of belief emerged and developed in antiquity. Neither illustrations of ancient beliefs in ghosts nor depictions of afterlife, these images show us something about the visual event of seeing itself. The Phantom Image offers essential insight into ancient art, visual culture, and the history of the image.

This book is a definitive introduction to models of computation for the design of complex, heterogeneous systems. It has a particular focus on cyber-physical systems, which integrate computing, networking, and physical dynamics. The book captures more than twenty years of experience in the Ptolemy Project at UC Berkeley, which pioneered many design, modeling, and simulation techniques that are now in widespread use. All of the methods covered in the book are realized in the open source Ptolemy II modeling framework and are available for experimentation through links provided in the book. The book is suitable for engineers, scientists, researchers, and managers who wish to understand the rich possibilities offered by modern modeling techniques. The goal of the book is to equip the reader with a breadth of experience that will help in understanding the role that such techniques can play in design.
