The book is a collection of research and review articles in several areas of modern mathematics and mathematical physics published in the span of three decades. The ICM Kyoto talk “Mathematics as Metaphor” summarises the author's view on mathematics as an outgrowth of natural language.

This volume contains an important progress on the theory of subnormal operators in the past thirty years, which was developed by the author and his collaborators. It serves as a guide and basis to students and researchers on understanding and exploring further this new direction in operator theory. The volume expounds lucidly on analytic model theory, mosaics, trace formulas of the subnormal operators, and subnormal tuples of operators on the Hilbert spaces.

This volume showcases selected recent work presented at the 13th Regional Conference on Mathematical Physics held in Antalya, Turkey in 2010. The conference was dedicated to the memory of Faheem Hussain, one of the initiators of the Regional Conference series, and one of the organizers of the 12th Regional Conference. The “region”, originally comprised of Turkey, Iran and Pakistan, extends now to Bangladesh and Central Asia. However, the contributing researchers are not only limited to this region.Prominent contributors include B Ahmedov (Tashkent), F Ardalan (Tehran), N Dadhich (Pune), D A Demir (İzmir), R L Hall (Montreal), M Hortaçsu (İstanbul), M Koca (Oman), C S Lim (Kobe), F Mahomed (Johannesburg), A Qadir (Rawalpindi), M A Rashid (Rawalpindi), M Sakamoto (Kobe), M Sharif (Lahore), F Toppan (Rio), N Ünal (Antalya), amongst others. They sample a number of topics in the formal aspects of mathematical physics, general relativity and cosmology, quantum gravity, quantum field theory, and even applied physics.
