Description for Asymptotically Symmetric Einstein Metrics (Smf/Amf Texts and Momographs)
Paperback. The correspondence between Einstein metrics and their conformal boundaries has been the focus of great interest. This book shows this correspondence in the wider context of asymptotically symmetric Einstein metrics, that is Einstein metrics whose curvature is asymptotic to that of a rank one symmetric space. Series: SMF/AMS Texts & Monographs. Num Pages: 105 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBKD; PBMP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Weight in Grams: 227.
The correspondence between Einstein metrics and their conformal boundaries has recently been the focus of great interest. This is particularly so in view of the relation with the physical theory of the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this book, this correspondence is seen in the wider context of asymptotically symmetric Einstein metrics, that is Einstein metrics whose curvature is asymptotic to that of a rank one symmetric space. There is an emphasis on the correspondence between Einstein metrics and geometric structures on their boundary at infinity: conformal structures, CR structures, and quaternionic contact structures introduced and studied in the book.
