Global Differential Geometry : The Mathematical Legacy of Alfred Gray Paperback / softback
by Marisa Fernadez, Joseph Wolf
Part of the Contemporary Mathematics series
Paperback / softback
Description
Alfred Gray's work covered a great part of differential geometry.
In September 2000, a remarkable International Congress on Differential Geometry was held in his memory in Bilbao, Spain.
Mathematicians from all over the world, representing 24 countries, attended the event.
This volume includes major contributions by well known mathematicians (T.
Banchoff, S. Donaldson, H. Ferguson, M. Gromov, N. Hitchin, A. Huckleberry, O. Kowalski, V. Miquel, E. Musso, A. Ros, S. Salamon, L. Vanhecke, P. Wellin and J.A. Wolf), the interesting discussion from the round table moderated by J.-P.
Bourguignon, and a carefully selected and refereed selection of the Short Communications presented at the Congress.This book represents the state of the art in modern differential geometry, with some general expositions of some of the more active areas: special Riemannian manifolds, Lie groups and homogeneous spaces, complex structures, symplectic manifolds, geometry of geodesic spheres and tubes and related problems, geometry of surfaces, and computer graphics in differential geometry.
