Description for Geometry of Nonpositively Curved Manifolds
Paperback. Starting from the foundations, this text presents an almost entirely self-contained treatment of differentiable spaces of nonpositive curvature, focusing on the symmetric spaces in which every geodesic lies in a flat Euclidean space of dimension at least two. Series: Chicago Lectures in Mathematics. Num Pages: 456 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: PBM; PBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 228 x 150 x 24. Weight in Grams: 590.
Starting from the foundations, this text presents an almost entirely self-contained treatment of differentiable spaces of nonpositive curvature, focusing on the symmetric spaces in which every geodesic lies in a flat Euclidean space of dimension at least two. The book builds to a discussion of the Mostow Rigidity Theorem and its generalizations, and concludes by exploring the relationship in nonpositively curved spaces between geometric and algebraic properties of the fundamental group.
