Description for Geometry of Foliations
Hardback. This text describes work on the differential geometry of foliations, in particular Riemannian foliations, done in the late 1990s. It is suitable for graduate students and researchers with a background in differential geometry. Series: Monographs in Mathematics. Num Pages: 318 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBMP; PBPH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 19. Weight in Grams: 631.
The topics in this survey volume concern research done on the differential geom etry of foliations over the last few years. After a discussion of the basic concepts in the theory of foliations in the first four chapters, the subject is narrowed down to Riemannian foliations on closed manifolds beginning with Chapter 5. Following the discussion of the special case of flows in Chapter 6, Chapters 7 and 8 are de voted to Hodge theory for the transversal Laplacian and applications of the heat equation method to Riemannian foliations. Chapter 9 on Lie foliations is a prepa ration for the ... Read more
