  • Differential Geometryby Clifford Henry Taubes

    OUP Oxford 2011; US$ 49.50

    Bundles, connections, metrics and curvature are the 'lingua franca' of modern differential geometry and theoretical physics. This book will supply a graduate student in mathematics or theoretical physics with the fundamentals of these objects. Many of the tools used in differential topology are introduced and the basic results about differentiable manifolds, smooth maps, differential forms, vector fields, Lie groups, and Grassmanians are all presented here. Other material covered includes the basic theorems about geodesics and Jacobi fields, the classification theorem for flat connections, the definition of characteristic classes, and also an introduction to complex and K--auml--;hler geometry.Differential Geometry uses many of the... more...

  • Riemannian Geometryby Isaac Chavel; B. Bollobas; W. Fulton; A. Katok; F. Kirwan; P. Sarnak; B. Simon

    Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 45.00

    This corrected and clarified second edition, including a new chapter on the Riemannian geometry of surfaces, provides an introduction to the geometry of curved spaces. Its main theme is the effect of the curvature of spaces on the usual notions of geometry, angles, lengths, areas, and volumes, and on those new notions and ideas motivated by curvature itself. more...

  • Lectures On Differential Geometryby S S Chern; W H Chen; K S Lam

    World Scientific 1999; US$ 75.40

    This book is a translation of an authoritative introductory text based on a lecture series delivered by the renowned differential geometer, Professor S S Chern in Beijing University in 1980. The original Chinese text, authored by Professor Chern and Professor Wei-Huan Chen, was a unique contribution to the mathematics literature, combining simplicity and economy of approach with depth of contents. The present translation is aimed at a wide audience, including (but not limited to) advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, as well as physicists interested in the diverse applications of differential geometry to physics. more...

  • Supermanifolds and Supergroupsby Gijs M. Tuynman

    Springer 2004; US$ 119.00

    Supermanifolds and Supergroups explains the basic ingredients of super manifolds and super Lie groups. It starts with super linear algebra and follows with a treatment of super smooth functions and the basic definition of a super manifold. When discussing the tangent bundle, integration of vector fields is treated as well as the machinery of differential forms. more...

  • Riemannian Submersions And Related Topicsby Maria Falcitelli; Anna Maria Pastore; Stere Ianus

    World Scientific 2004; US$ 88.40

    This book provides the first-ever systematic introduction to the theory of Riemannian submersions, which was initiated by Barrett O'Neill and Alfred Gray less than four decades ago. The authors focus their attention on classification theorems when the total space and the fibres have nice geometric properties. more...

  • Minimal Submanifolds And Related Topicsby Yuanlong Xin

    World Scientific 2003; US$ 87.10

    The Bernstein problem and the Plateau problem are central topics in the theory of minimal submanifolds. This important book presents the Douglas?Rado solution to the Plateau problem, but the main emphasis is on the Bernstein problem and its new developments in various directions: the value distribution of the Gauss image of a minimal surface in Euclidean 3-space, Simons' work for minimal graphic hypersurfaces, and author's own contributions to Bernstein type theorems for higher codimension. more...

  • Differential Geometry and Topology, Discrete and Computational Geometryby M. Boucetta; J.-M. Morvan

    IOS Press 2005; US$ 126.00

    The aim of this volume is to give an introduction and overview to differential topology, differential geometry and computational geometry with an emphasis on some interconnections between these three domains of mathematics. The chapters give the background required to begin research in these fields or at their interfaces. They introduce new research domains and both old and new conjectures in these different subjects show some interaction between other sciences close to mathematics. Topics discussed are; the basis of differential topology and combinatorial topology, the link between differential geometry and topology, Riemanian geometry (Levi-Civita connextion, curvature tensor, geodesic, completeness and curvature tensor), characteristic classes... more...

  • Handbook of Differential Geometryby Franki J.E. Dillen; Leopold C.A. Verstraelen

    Elsevier 2005; US$ 250.00

    In the series of volumes which together will constitute the "Handbook of Differential Geometry" we try to give a rather complete survey of the field of differential geometry. The different chapters will both deal with the basic material of differential geometry and with research results (old and recent). All chapters are written by experts in the area and contain a large bibliography. In this second volume a wide range of areas in the very broad field of differential geometry is discussed, as there are Riemannian geometry, Lorentzian geometry, Finsler geometry, symplectic geometry, contact geometry, complex geometry, Lagrange geometry and the geometry of foliations. Although this does not cover the whole of differential geometry, the reader... more...

  • Lectures on Kähler Geometryby Andrei Moroianu

    Cambridge University Press 2007; US$ 38.00

    Graduate text providing a concise and self-contained introduction to Kähler geometry. more...

  • An Introduction to Differential Geometry with Applications to Elasticityby Philippe G. Ciarlet

    Springer 2006; US$ 89.95

    Presents the basic theorems of differential geometry in three-dimensional space, including a coverage of surface theory. By means of a series of mathematical models, this monograph also explains how these theorems are used in three-dimensional elasticity and in shell theory. more...
