Perspectives in Riemannian Geometry

A co-publication of the AMS and Centre de Recherches Mathématiques
Special geometries as well as the relation
between curvature and topology have always been of interest to
differential geometers. More recently, these topics have turned out to
be of use in physical problems related to string theory as well. This
volume provides a unique and thorough survey on the latest
developments on Riemannian geometry, special geometrical structures on
manifolds, and their interactions with other fields such as
mathematical physics, complex analysis, and algebraic geometry.
This volume presents ten papers written by participants of the “Short
Program on Riemannian Geometry,” a workshop held at the CRM in
Montréal in 2004. It will be a valuable reference for graduate
students and research mathematicians alike.
Titles in this series are co-published with the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques.
Readership
Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in differential geometry.
