Paperback. Condition: New. The central theme of this book is the interaction between the curvature of a complete Riemannian manifold and its topology and global geometry. The first five chapters are preparatory in nature. They begin with a very concise introduction to Riemannian geometry, followed by an exposition of Toponogov's theorem-the first such treatment in a book in English. Next comes a detailed presentation of homogeneous spaces in which the main goal is to find formulas for their curvature. A quick chapter of Morse theory is followed by one on the injectivity radius. Chapters 6-9 deal with many of the most relevant contributions to the subject in the years 1959 to 1974. These include the pinching (or sphere) theorem, Berger's theorem for symmetric spaces, the differentiable sphere theorem, the structure of complete manifolds of non-negative curvature, and finally, results about the structure of complete manifolds of non-positive curvature. Emphasis is given to the phenomenon of rigidity, namely, the fact that although the conclusions which hold under the assumption of some strict inequality on curvature can fail when the strict inequality on curvature can fail when the strict inequality is relaxed to a weak one, the failure can happen only in a restricted way, which can usually be classified up to isometry. Much of the material, particularly the last four chapters, was essentially state-of-the-art when the book first appeared in 1975. Since then, the subject has exploded, but the material covered in the book still represents an essential prerequisite for anyone who wants to work in the field.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Geometric Topology can be defined to be the investigation ofglobal properties of a further structure (e.g.differentiable, Riemannian, complex,algebraic etc.) one canimpose on a topological manifold. At the C.I.M.E. session inMontecatini, in 1990, three courses of lectures were givenonrecent developments in this subject which is nowadaysemerging as one of themost fascinating and promising fieldsof contemporary mathematics. The notesof these courses arecollected in this volume and can be described as: 1) thegeometry and the rigidity of discrete subgroups in Liegroups especially in the case of lattices in semi-simplegroups; 2) the study of the critical points of the distancefunction and its appication to the understanding of thetopology of Riemannian manifolds; 3) the theory of modulispace of instantons as a tool for studying the geometry oflow-dimensional manifolds.CONTENTS: J.
