This graduate textbook begins by introducing Tensors and Riemannian Spaces, and then elaborates their application in solving second-order differential equations, and ends with introducing theory of relativity and de Sitter space. Based on 40 years of teaching experience, the aut…
These lecture notes are based on the joint work of the author and Arthur Fischer on Teichmiiller theory undertaken in the years 1980-1986. Since then many of our colleagues have encouraged us to publish our approach to the subject in a concise format, easily accessible to a broa…
"In this book, Berger provides a survey of the main developments in Riemannian geometry in the last fifty years, focusing his main attention on the following five areas: Curvature and topology; the construction of and the classification of space forms; distinguished metrics, esp…
