Description for Singular Semi-Riemannian Geometry
Hardback. Provides an exposition of singular semi-Riemannian geometry, the study of a smooth manifold furnished with a degenerate (singular) metric tensor of arbitrary signature. This book is intended for graduate students of differential geometry, who have some background knowledge on the subject of complex manifolds. Series: Mathematics and its Applications. Num Pages: 181 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBMP. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 12. Weight in Grams: 1000.
This book is an exposition of "Singular Semi-Riemannian Geometry"- the study of a smooth manifold furnished with a degenerate (singular) metric tensor of arbitrary signature. The main topic of interest is those cases where the metric tensor is assumed to be nondegenerate. In the literature, manifolds with degenerate metric tensors have been studied extrinsically as degenerate submanifolds of semi Riemannian manifolds. One major aspect of this book is first to study the intrinsic structure of a manifold with a degenerate metric tensor and then to study it extrinsically by considering it as a degenerate submanifold of a semi-Riemannian manifold.
