Description for Spin Geometry (PMS-38), Volume 38
Hardback. The concepts of a spin manifold, spinor fields, Dirac operators, and A-genera are presented comprehensively in this book. It also features the development of the theory of Cl-linear elliptic operators and the associated index theorem, which connects certain subtle spin-corbordism invariants to classical questions in geometry. Series: Princeton Mathematical Series. Num Pages: 440 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: PBMW; PBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 237 x 164 x 33. Weight in Grams: 834.
This book offers a systematic and comprehensive presentation of the concepts of a spin manifold, spinor fields, Dirac operators, and A-genera, which, over the last two decades, have come to play a significant role in many areas of modern mathematics. Since the deeper applications of these ideas require various general forms of the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem, the theorems and their proofs, together with all prerequisite material, are examined here in detail. The exposition is richly embroidered with examples and applications to a wide spectrum of problems in differential geometry, topology, and mathematical physics. The authors consistently use Clifford algebras and ... Read more
