Ebook: Differential geometry : proceedings, Special Year, Maryland, 1981-82

This volume records results from the special year
devoted to the study of differential geometry,
involving experts from many countries. Recent work
from a number of fields of differential geometry is
presented, illustrating a broad range of
techniques - such as partial differential equations,
measure theory, combinatorial methods and Lie
theory. The applications imolve Riemannian
geometry, theory of foliations, and homogenous
manifolds, among others. This volume will be of
particular interest to graduate students and research
mathematicians.
