Osserman Manifolds in Semi-Riemannian Geometry
Free Download Osserman Manifolds in Semi-Riemannian Geometry by Eduardo García-Río , Demir N. Kupeli , Ramón Vázquez-Lorenzo
English | PDF | 2002| 178 Pages | ISBN : 3540431446 | 14.6 MB
The subject of this book is Osserman semi-Riemannian manifolds, and in particular, the Osserman conjecture in semi-Riemannian geometry. The treatment is pitched at the intermediate graduate level and requires some intermediate knowledge of differential geometry. The notation is mostly coordinate-free and the terminology is that of modern differential geometry. Known results toward the complete proof of Riemannian Osserman conjecture are given and the Osserman conjecture in Lorentzian geometry is proved completely. Counterexamples to the Osserman conjuncture in generic semi-Riemannian signature are provided and properties of semi-Riemannian Osserman manifolds are investigated.

Some Nonlinear Problems in Riemannian Geometry
Free Download Some Nonlinear Problems in Riemannian Geometry by Thierry Aubin
English | PDF (True) | 1998 | 414 Pages | ISBN : 3540607528 | 33.23 MB
During the last few years, the field of nonlinear problems has undergone great development. This book consisting of the updated Grundlehren volume 252 by the author and of a newly written part, deals with some important geometric problems that are of interest to many mathematicians and scientists but have only recently been partially solved. Each problem is explained, up-to-date results are given and proofs are presented. Thus, the reader is given access, for each specific problem, to its present status of solution as well as to the most up-to-date methods for approaching it. The main objective of the book is to explain some methods and new techniques, and to apply them. It deals with such important subjects as variational methods, the continuity method, parabolic equations on fiber.
