The main focus is on hypersurfaces and a variety of submanifolds of indefinite Kahlerian, Sasakian and quaternion Kahler manifolds. Series: Frontiers in Mathematics. Num Pages: 488 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBMP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 169 x 241 x 52. Weight in Grams: 950.
Since the second half of the 20th century, the Riemannian and semi-Riemannian geometries have been active areas of research in di?erential geometry and its - plications to a variety of subjects in mathematics and physics. A recent survey in Marcel Berger's book [60] includes the major developments of Riemannian ge- etry since 1950, citing the works of di?erential geometers of that time. During the mid 1970s, the interest shifted towards Lorentzian geometry, the mathematical theory used in general relativity. Since then there has been an amazing leap in the depth of the connection between modern di?erential geometry and mathematical relativity, ... Read more

Reviews for Differential Geometry of Lightlike Submanifolds
From the reviews: “It provides a reasonably self-contained and very comprehensive account of all aspects of the subject. … The book contains more than 400 references to the literature, as well as a wealth of applications to physics (general relativity). Written by two of the main contributors to the field this comprehensive presentation is certain to be the standard ... Read more
