Description for Geometry of Hypersurfaces
Hardback. Geometry of Hypersurfaces Series: Springer Monographs in Mathematics. Num Pages: 607 pages, 23 black & white illustrations, 1 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBG; PBML; PBMP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 168 x 249 x 37. Weight in Grams: 1040.
This exposition provides the state-of-the art on the differential geometry of hypersurfaces in real, complex, and quaternionic space forms. Special emphasis is placed on isoparametric and Dupin hypersurfaces in real space forms as well as Hopf hypersurfaces in complex space forms. The book is accessible to a reader who has completed a one-year graduate course in differential geometry. The text, including open problems and an extensive list of references, is an excellent resource for researchers in this area. Geometry of Hypersurfaces begins with the basic theory of submanifolds in real space forms. Topics include shape operators, principal ... Read more
