The present book contains the lecture notes from a "Nachdiplomvorlesung", a topics course adressed to Ph. D. students, at the ETH ZUrich during the winter term 95/96. Consequently, these notes are arranged according to the requirements of organizing the material for oral exposition, and the level of difficulty and the exposition were adjusted to the audience in Zurich. The aim of the course was to introduce some geometric and analytic concepts that have been found useful in advancing our understanding of spaces of nonpos itive curvature. In particular in recent years, it has been realized that often it is useful ... Read more

Reviews for Nonpositive Curvature: Geometric and Analytic Aspects
"Recollects some basic properties as well as some fairly advanced results [which] is done with a spirit that allows one to understand that, even though the study of such manifolds has important differences from the flat case, some techniques come from the very elementary Euclidean geometry."
