Description
Submanifolds and Holonomy, Second Edition explores recent progress in the submanifold geometry of space forms, including new methods based on the holonomy of the normal connection.
This second edition reflects many developments that have occurred since the publication of its popular predecessor. New to the Second Edition New chapter on normal holonomy of complex submanifoldsNew chapter on the Berger–Simons holonomy theoremNew chapter on the skew-torsion holonomy systemNew chapter on polar actions on symmetric spaces of compact typeNew chapter on polar actions on symmetric spaces of noncompact typeNew section on the existence of slices and principal orbits for isometric actionsNew subsection on maximal totally geodesic submanifoldsNew subsection on the index of symmetric spacesThe book uses the reduction of codimension, Moore’s lemma for local splitting, and the normal holonomy theorem to address the geometry of submanifolds.
It presents a unified treatment of new proofs and main results of homogeneous submanifolds, isoparametric submanifolds, and their generalizations to Riemannian manifolds, particularly Riemannian symmetric spaces.
