Contemporary Geometry And Related Topics

This volume covers a broad range of subjects in modern geometry and related branches of mathematics, physics and computer science. Most of the papers show new, interesting results in Riemannian geometry, homotopy theory, theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras, topological analysis, integrable systems, quantum groups, and noncommutative geometry. There are also papers giving overviews of the recent achievements in some special topics, such as the Willmore conjecture, geodesic mappings, Weyl's tube formula, and integrable geodesic flows. This book provides a great chance for interchanging new results and ideas in multidisciplinary studies. The proceedings have been selected for coverage in: • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings) • CC Proceedings — Engineering & Physical Sciences Contents: Invariant Structures Generated by Lie Group Automorphisms on Homogenous Spaces (V V Balashchenko)Integrable Geodesic Flows on Riemannian Manifolds: Construction and Obstructions (A V Bolsinov & B Jovanović)Non-Archimedean Geometry and Physics on Adelic Spaces (B Dragovich)Willmore Submanifolds in a Riemannian Manifold (Z Hu & H Li)Visualisation and Animation in Differential Geometry (E Malkowsky & V Veličković)Computer Gluing of 2D Projective Images (G V Nosovskiy)On Rational Homotopy of Four-Manifolds (S Terzić)Special Classes of Three Dimensional Affine Hyperspheres Characterized by Properties of Their Cubic Form (L Vrancken)and other papers Readership: Researchers in geometry & topology, nonlinear science and dynamical systems.

A variety of introductory articles is provided on a wide range of topics, including variational problems on curves and surfaces with anisotropic curvature. Experts in the fields of Riemannian, Lorentzian and contact geometry present state-of-the-art reviews of their topics. The contributions are written on a graduate level and contain extended bibliographies. The ten chapters are the result of various doctoral courses which were held in 2009 and 2010 at universities in Leuven, Serbia, Romania and Spain.

The International Conference on Modern Mathematics and the International Symposium on Differential Geometry, in honor of Professor Su Buchin on the centenary of his birth, were held in September 2001 at Fudan University, Shanghai, China. Around 100 mathematicians from China, France, Japan, Singapore and the United States participated. The proceedings cover a broad spectrum of advanced topics in mathematics, especially in differential geometry, such as some problems of common interest in harmonic maps, submanifolds, the Yang-Mills field and the geometric theory of solitons. Contents:Asymptotic Behavior of Yang–Mills Flow in Higher Dimensions (Y M Chen et al.)Complete Submanifolds in Euclidean Spaces with Constant Scalar Curvature (Q M Cheng)On Mathematical Ship Lofting (G C Dong et al.)On the Nirenberg Problem (M Ji)Almost Complex Manifolds and a Differential Geometric Criterion for Hyperbolicity (S Kobayashi)Harmonic Maps Between Carnot Spaces (S Nishikawa)A Survey of Complete Manifolds with Bounded Radial Curvature Function (K Shiohama)On the Hensel Lift of a Polynomial (Z X Wan)A Note on Locally Real Hyperbolic Space with Finite Volume (Y H Yang)and other papers Readership: Researchers and graduate students in mathematics.

This volume covers a broad range of topics in modern geometry and related branches of mathematics, physics and visualization. Most of papers give new interesting results in Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian geometry, various structures on differentiable manifolds, homogenous spaces, submanifolds, Lie algebra cohomology, topology, integrable systems, general relativity, Finsler geometry, geometric invariant theory, links and knots, and noncommutative geometry. There are also papers giving overviews of the recent achievements in some special topics such as Kähler geometry, Minkowski spaces, spectral geometry, quantum groups and Hofer's geometry. This book provides a great chance for interchanging new results and ideas in multidisciplinary studies.

This volume contains the contributions by the participants in the eight of a series workshops in complex analysis, differential geometry and mathematical physics and related areas.Active specialists in mathematical physics contribute to the volume, providing not only significant information for researchers in the area but also interesting mathematics for non-specialists and a broader audience. The contributions treat topics including differential geometry, partial differential equations, integrable systems and mathematical physics.
