商品描述

Intended for a one year course, this text serves as a single source, introducing readers to the important techniques and theorems, while also containing enough background on advanced topics to appeal to those students wishing to specialize in Riemannian geometry. This is one of the few Works to combine both the geometric parts of  Riemannian geometry and the analytic aspects of the theory. The book will appeal to a readership that have a basic knowledge of standard manifold theory, including tensors, forms, and Lie groups.

 

Important revisions to the third edition include:

 

  • a substantial addition of unique and enriching exercises scattered throughout the text;
  • inclusion of an increased number of coordinate calculations of connection and curvature;
  • addition of general formulas for curvature on Lie Groups and submersions;
  • integration of variational calculus into the text allowing for an early treatment of the Sphere theorem using a proof by Berger;
  • incorporation of several recent results about manifolds with positive curvature;
  • presentation of a new simplifying approach to the Bochner technique for tensors with application to bound topological quantities with general lower curvature bounds.

 

From reviews of the first edition:

"The book can be highly recommended to all mathematicians who want to get a more profound idea about the most interesting achievements in Riemannian geometry. It is one of the few comprehensive sources of this type."

―Bernd Wegner, ZbMATH

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書適用於一學年的課程,作為單一教材來源,向讀者介紹重要的技術與定理,同時也提供進階主題所需的充分背景知識,足以吸引希望專攻黎曼幾何(Riemannian geometry)的學生。本書是少數同時涵蓋黎曼幾何之幾何面向與理論分析面向的著作之一。適合已具備標準流形理論(manifold theory)基礎知識的讀者,包括張量(tensors)、微分形式(forms)與 Lie 群(Lie groups)。

第三版的重要修訂包括:

• 大幅增加散見於全書各處、獨特且富有啟發性的習題;
• 增加連絡(connection)與曲率(curvature)的座標計算;
• 新增 Lie 群與下沉映射(submersions)上曲率的一般公式;
• 將變分微積分(variational calculus)融入正文,使讀者能提早學習球面定理(Sphere theorem),並採用 Berger 的證明;
• 納入數項關於正曲率流形的近期研究成果;
• 提出一種針對張量之 Bochner 技巧(Bochner technique)的全新簡化方法,並應用於在一般曲率下界條件下,對拓撲量進行界定。

第一版書評:

「強烈推薦本書給所有希望更深入了解黎曼幾何中最引人入勝成果的數學家。本書是少數此類型的完整參考資料之一。」

—Bernd Wegner,《ZbMATH》
