"This volume represents the proceedings of the conference on Topics in Deformation Quantization and Non-Commutative Structures held in Mexico City in September 2005. It contains survey papers and original contributions by various experts in the fields of deformation quantization…
A basic problem in differential geometry is to find canonical metrics on manifolds. The best known example of this is the classical uniformization theorem for Riemann surfaces. Extremal metrics were introduced by Calabi as an attempt at finding a higher-dimensional generalizatio…
"This volume is intended for graduate and research students in mathematics and physics. It covers general topology, nonlinear co-ordinate systems, theory of smooth manifolds, theory of curves and surfaces, transformation groups, tensor analysis and Riemannian geometry, theory of…
