Description for Topics in Differential Geometry (Graduate Studies in Mathematics)
Hardcover. Treats the fundamentals of differential geometry: manifolds, flows, Lie groups and their actions, invariant theory, differential forms and de Rham cohomology, bundles and connections, Riemann manifolds, isometric actions, and symplectic and Poisson geometry. This book covers a wide range of topics of modern coordinate-free differential geometry. Series: Graduate Studies in Mathematics. Num Pages: 493 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBMP. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 259 x 186 x 30. Weight in Grams: 1066.
This book treats the fundamentals of differential geometry: manifolds, flows, Lie groups and their actions, invariant theory, differential forms and de Rham cohomology, bundles and connections, Riemann manifolds, isometric actions, and symplectic and Poisson geometry. The layout of the material stresses naturality and functoriality from the beginning and is as coordinate-free as possible. Coordinate formulas are always derived as extra information. Some attractive unusual aspects of this book are as follows: Initial submanifolds and the Frobenius theorem for distributions of nonconstant rank (the Stefan-Sussman theory) are discussed. Lie groups and their actions are treated early on, including the slice theorem ... Read more
