Lecture Notes in Mathematics

This series reports on new developments in mathematical research and teaching - quickly, informally and at a high level. The type of material considered for publication includes

1. Research monographs

2. Lectures on a new field or presentations of a new angle in a classical field

3. Summer schools and intensive courses on topics of current research.

Texts which are out of print but still in demand may also be considered.

The timeliness of a manuscript is sometimes more important than its form, which might be preliminary or tentative.

Details of the editorial policy can be found on the inside front-cover of a current volume.
